12's possible?
 

I have a lid and a cutout, short shifter. Best to date is a 13.2 on a 2.2 60' time. Trap was 108. It is a 6-spd convertible, will be running at sea level(atco).

Do you think 12's are possible on street tires?

Some suspension parts and more practice, i do see some 12's on street tires even if you get your 60ft down to a 2.0 that be a 12.90 or so. Imagine if you could pull some 1.70 60' s thats mid 12's

I would love to thrown some drag radials on and really launch it, but I'm afraid to frag the rear. I had an LT1 before this that love launching on them, but that was an auto, and I know how much hard the M6 is on the rear. I am planning headers and an LS6 intake next, but I would LOVE to hit 12s before I throw them on. I'm going out Sunday for some runs, hopefully I can rip a nice run off and join the club.

Save the rear, be happy with a good trap--JMO!

It's possible! :)

I'm 406

wow congrats i wish i could get 12's i am 13.1 today for a first at the track. hopfully with new tires on the back i'll be there, how did you get a 1.9 60ft thats really good on street tires.

I dont know, I was dialing in my launch all day, consistent 2.1's and high 2.0s. The 1.99 run I just nailed it, perfect launch, I dont think I could have gotten much better than that on the street tires, there was a little squeak and then the car just took off, no bogging, no spinning.

The weather was amazing for racing today, I just cant believe I dropped almost 2 tenths off my best run of the day and gained more than 1 MPH in my trap.

That's Atco for ya and you have to go through the water too!!! Who was on the brakes in the other lane, 12.0 @ 68mph :lol: Congrats on getting your first 12 second run. :thumb:

haha, that other lane was malfunctioning after a few hours of passes. It stopped giving out any time slips at all a few runs after this. Glad I was in the good lane for my 12 second pass, it woulda sucked ripping that one off and not knowing how good it actually was.

Oh wow, Atco usually is pretty good with their electronics. When i used to go there, I would use the Bacardi lane. I think I only ran in the Suzuki lane twice from all my passes.

I'm superstitious about that. I NEVER run in the left lane unless I am racing someone specific and they want the right lane on that run. Every personal best I have set in all 3 of the cars I've had there has been in the right lane, I dont know why, maybe that other lane gets in my head.

I always want to run in the lane that's closest to the audience, don't know why. At raceway park, I'll run on the left, Island, on the left, Atco, on the right. :lol:
