honestly anything is possible but those m6s are hard to get in the 12's due to traction, if you can get a 1.9 60 and hit all the shifts right yeah i mean i did it with a lid and FTRA 12.94 at 107 i believe but i got an auto, also you are alot heavier being a vert...

Do you know how well the track is sprayed that youre going to race on? Depending on how much youve practiced shifting your car and maybe doin a lil stop light to stop light racing, you could do it. Like Chrs said, if you can pull a 1.9-2.0 60' then thats what will get you a good 12.9 pass. Good luck and let us know

I'm gonna say no. You're heavier, and while the cutout/lid will help, it will probably only get you low 13's. Track conditions DO make a huge difference, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Depends on your track elevation, track prep, skill level, and just the car itself. You are heavier than I was/am. I would have to say that it will be a stretch in a vert with street tires and min mods. Your gonna need a sub 2.0 60ft IMHO to get there. Good luck to ya!

Also gotta remember that the verts come with 2.73s and the 60' are a lot tougher to pull off.

Good luck and let us know

He's an M6, they're all 3.42. Plus if he was an auto, all WS6 cars come with 3.23s, has nothing to do with being a vert at all

I'm going to say no, based upon the info given. All things considered, weight, tires and m6. Need more mods!

I thank it is possible if you ice the intake let the car cool down good. Than pray that you hit 1.9/2.0 60 foot and you got a good chance. Good luck let us know.
