Consistent 12's I read 9 ***** thread and decided to post my 12sec story.
I havent done anything to the car since i purchased it lightly modded. I have never raced or wasnt into the scene that much when I got it. I really didnt know anything.
So I get the car last May and finally ran it like last Aug or something. Anyways the previous owner was running lows 13's all the time and once he ran a 12.93 on slicks.
I figured I could get down into the 12's easily because I weighed prob atleast 100-150 lighter than the previous owner. When I first ran I didnt know how to launch or anything so I was running at best like low 13's. One night I had the slicks on and I somehow managed a 12.94.
Now with more practice and frequent trips to the track, I have improved launching and am now consitently running high 12's with a best of 12.71. Whats funny is that my best et, and all of my 12's are now being done on street tires that are bald. I am usually launching at around 1000rpm or so. Im not going to complain though. Anyways the end!

Im usually running 1.9 - 2.0 60's. I never got down past 2.0 with the slicks. But then again since I was new I dont think I was burning out on them good. Im also managing high 12.9's witha passenger in thecar and I ran a 13.1 with 3 people in it.
Here are some et's and 60'.
12.94 @ 108.8 w/a 2.006
12.862 @ 109.80 w/a 2.004
12.977 @ 108.49 w/a 2.033(passenger in car too)
12.89 @ 109.18 w/a 1.992
My best et ever was 12.715 @ 110.36 w/a 1.918 60'
and ast but not least the best et I ran on slicks was a 12.94 w/a 2.117 60' which isnt too good considering im doing better 60's on strret tires. Anyhow sorry for the long post.
These were all last fri @ orlando speed world which is nortorius for being slippery.
