I'm running 12's friday I'm just learning how to launch with my car so my 60' times SUCK!! (2.1 sec). My best run on street tires (245/50/16's) is 13.260 @ 108.96 mph.
This friday i'm going with et streets, plus i just put on my FTRA yesterday. My trap speed is consistent 107-108 mph. Hopefully that's good enough for high 12's. Oh yea i'll work on my launches too.

2.1 isn't necessarily terrrrrrrible on 245 street tires but you gotta remember it's not all about the extra mods you do to improve your time, you also gotta hope it's good weather and track prep is good. But i'm sure you'll make it. Good luck to ya

2.1 sec 60' is actually my best. The Marauder next to me got a 1.9 that same run. It seems like if i rev it AT ALL, the tires spin wildly when i let out the clutch which leads to my 2.3 or even 2.4 sec 60' s.
It kills me cause when i do the same thing on the street they never spin that bad.

A tip that might help. Bring the revs to 2200 and feather the clutch dont drop it that should put you in a rolling start than once the clutch engages fully then mash it! by the time you mash it you should be doing 20-30 mph. Should help 60'. my best with streets was 2.02 60' 245/40/18 about the same as 16's.

Yeah dude, this rain is totally breaking my *****, badly. A buddy of mine has a pretty stout WRX and we FINALLY were gonna get a chance to run em. But, no 10 mins prior it rained for like 20-30 mins. So no traction for me.
