Default Any 3.42 M6 drivers.

I'm trying to get an idea of how low an ET the M6 drivers of 3.42 geared, h/c cars are running? I'd like to shoot for a goal for this coming year.
I've run an 11.92 @ 118 cutting a 1.79 60 ft with a race weight of 3,510 lbs.
I can pretty easily get the car down to 3,480 lbs. I think I can hit a low 11.8 on Nitto's in good condtions, just wondering what others are capable of. Thanks.

Rageman has run a 12.3 with just bolt on's and on RSA's <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> unfortunatly my car has been running like dog poo the past month and have not been able to make it to the track to get any decent runs in.

I think an 11.7 is possible with some good air and a little weight reduction with a heads and cam car.

Bad Habit Bird, an 11.7 has a nice ring to it! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
That would make me really happy especially on Nitto's. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

I got a call from the dealership and they told me the car is ready to be picked up, so if the car really is fixed I will be heading up to Ennis on Saturday with some ET streets out back <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I am shooting for 12.1's or 12.2's in full street trim. Hopefully I can pull it off.
