that 12 bolt is pointless with street tires. nice times. mph looks decent for a 230k mile motor and 12 bolt rear.

You always run slower than you think your going to the first few times you race. I remember the first time I'd ever been to the track I ran my cam only M6 car with street tires and the factory bad slave cylinder. I was planning on running 12.90s at least and I ran an amazing 14.0 flat lol. I never abused the car and when it came time to it locked me out of 2nd and 3rd every pass lol and I was cutting 2.3 60s with my bald street tires.
