Just missed 12's in the SS Hi guys,
Went to the track on Saturday to see if I could get the SS into the 12's borrowing a friends set of nittos
On street tires I managed a 13.3@108mph and a 2.25 sixty. Car would hook decent in first but blow the tires away in second gear.
Threw on a set of nittos and ran
13.04 at 109.24mph with a 2.05 sixty
SO CLOSE!! Ran the car with everything in it and a full tank of gas to help traction.
Only mod is a throttle body bypass hehe
I need a shiftlight though. The tach lags terribly in this car and I hit the limiter on 1-2 and 2-3.
Cheers
Chris

Nice runs Chris! Bummer you couldn't ****** the 12s, as the mph is definately there for it. I'm sure you could hide a mini-shift light somewhere...

Yep, the stock gauge lags at WOT. Roughly a 300 to 500 rpm off.

Awesome mph. Shift light helps a lot. I got a Harlan's light a few months back and I don't know why I waited so long. You should see 12s with no problem with some traction and even better with a shift light.

Thanks guys
The car is mint, I was looking for a low mileage 02 and managed to find this one in Ontario. I have moved to the east coast of Canada and no longer live in Toronto though I am up there for work regularly
