to be a troll for a moment.. for a 15 year old.. watch your mouth.

ok trolling aside..

lookin forward to seeing what ya run. Gonna have anyone videoing? Even if it's just a cameraphone. It'd be good to have your first run on camera so you can remember it when you're deep in the 10s in the next decade or so.

I did a burnout once in 2nd and forgot to switch it into d or od. I ended up bouncing the rev limiter at about 80 mph. I think I ran a low 15 that pass

My dad just ran a 13.15 at 106. Not lying. AND that was with shitty street tires. I will have 12's with those MT's no problem... I think.

Attaboy! FINALLY that car got run!

If the tires stuck, the new tires won't offer any improvement.

With some work & tuning, you might hit 13 flat.

A dtall will get you lower.

But hey. I'm still pretty happy. I can beat new camaros anyways! And I feel pretty confident it will run a 12.9 in this weather. The car was just slipping and sliding. Once I have traction that 12.9 is mine.

You mean your dad's? Since your dad seems to be the one who "drives".

I say 13 flat with MT street/good weather.

haha that's hilarious. At least I know some people on here have a hilarious sense of humor. Quality jokes man... Pure gold.

And his 60 was 2.12. Since the weather has been pretty steady here, I would say with some good traction (with the MT's) a 12.9 is do-able.

12.9 is definately doable with heated drag radials. Even with the stock stall you can probably get a high 1.8 or low 1.9 60'. I'm thinking a 12.8 is possible with all DA conditions being equal.

Get some drag radials and good luck.

Thanks and we have the radials just not the wheels. The wheels are scheduled to be here on wednesday-thursday. And I will be happy if the car runs a 12.9 twice. That way I know it wasn't a lucky pass and that the car can run that consistently. I will find out what she runs next friday!
