Must be those Eibachs, LOL. I'm using the Eibach Pros and stock 15 year old shocks. 1.47 on the bottle.

how much better is a car going to hook up at the track compared to on the street?

I consider my combo to be nothing more than lucky. I think the adj. chassis mounted TA, relocation brackets, and M/T DRs are the real reason the car 60fts. halfway decent.

Dude, you're basing your ET on a GTECH run. No, on a GTECH run WHERE YOU LET OFF EARLY. Seriously?? Where the hell are you "track tuning" your car anyway, Seattle during rush hour?

And how is anybody supposed to answer your question about traction at the track vs the street? Would you accept a little better or a lot better? Maybe nobody can tell you because it depends entirely on the track, conditions, and the street on which you're getting your gtech race on.

Take it to the track, stay safe, and answer all your questions in 2 passes or less

PS- The GTECH 1/4 mile times belong in the same discussion as hp/L, gangsta.

My car stone stock on factory tires went 1.99-2.00s but I think you need to sell your G tech to some kid with a Honda, and get a real Bias Ply tire under the car, and go to a TRACK. I'd go with a Spec clutch, they are pretty reasonable too.

ok, made it to the track last weekend, only got one run, and i missed 3rd, but my 60 was 1.957, someone dumped antifreeze from one end of the track to the other, thats why i only got 1 run.
