Post your best 60' on radials True radials NOT nitto's, et streets, etc. etc.
My 01 Z28 cut 1.84, 1.86, and a 1.87 last weekend on Michelin pilots. Its the best I have ever seen. All three passes where 12.9 at 106. This Yank SY3500 is a bad ****. Car is completely stock except for converter, muffler, and K+N filter, including suspension and yes the front sway bar is still on.
Can anyone beat a 1.84????

Re: Post your best 60' on radials I have recoreded 60' marks of 1.66 to 1.67 on Good Year GSC's at 18 psi. I believe thats the lowest recorded 60' for those street tires pulling the front tire off the ground <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> . I have the time slips and witnesses to prove it too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Post your best 60' on radials One of the guys here in Tampa pulled a12.222 with a 1.687 60' on RSAs!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Of course he now lives in VA or somewhere out there. But THAT is impressive. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Post your best 60' on radials Doc,
I pull the wheel off the ground real good on GSC's not GSA's impressive none the less though. The only mods to my suspension is LCA's and !swaybar!, stock wheels with the interior intact. I can pull this off consistantly at three different tracks local here, ATCO, E-Town and Cecil. I have a way that I leave the line that I don't think anyone has tried before? I can bring my witnesses in here if you want to hear from them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . Doc, I built my car to be a wringer, I specifically matched all the components just to prove a point that you can use brains instead of brawn to run a good ET. I have 407 flywheel horse, and I use 404 of it in the quarter mile which gives it it's "wringer" destinction. For an example, you can have an M6 car with 467 flywheel horse and use ony 400 horse in the quarter mile. Its all about hooking and overall torque/horsepower averages over the distance.

Kent, No offence, but I believe Doc was asking for REAL street radials meaning no Drag radials.

Re: Post your best 60' on radials I will step up and say that I have seen Joe pull 1.6x in his car with the gsc's as well, and that is with all the crap that he had in his car as well. I don't think he even took out the mess that his kids left behind...lol.
But I still row a better time in my 6speed than Joe can.... <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Re: Post your best 60' on radials the best i could ever musta was a sucky 1.99 on stock tires and bone stock car..
i also believe if you stick with any tire long enough you learn how to luanch and what it will hold.. so im sure some guys are cutting 1.6's on radials!

Re: Post your best 60' on radials JPR you are full of crap. If you have a timeslip w/ those 60fts on radials, then the time clocks must have been malfunctioning maybe you staged w/ the rear wheels. What are you saying, there's no need for slicks? you could hit 1.3s on slicks? Total B.S.
