"You need a cage. Go see tech."
Great job Brian! Getting a car to make it down the 1/4 (especially a M6 car!) takes both seat time and the proper setup. I still believe your car has a 10.7@125 in it with just a little more seat time and skinnies 
They must of been paying attention. I did Friday night test and tune there recently, running 11.1's and they didn't say anything about not having a cage.
I work right down the road from MIR, so let me know next time you head up there.

Don't forget, steep gears have a lot to do with getting a heavy turd pile out of the hole too.
Its about damn time, and as you do everyone ELSE on this board....we want PROOF as in a video.
It aint got a 10 in it at that MPH and 60 ft, he will either need better DA or lose some weight or both. That MPH has an 11.09-11.15 ish in it.
Get yo *** to work.

Brian,
You may be suprised with what your car still has in in. You are only 2.5mph away from 125 which is what I have thought your car would be capable of running without going nuts on the weight reduction. I think you will see 1.5mph with going to front skinnies compared to the 17" rims you have up front. After that, just keep learning to drive the car. I gained 6mph in my SR 396 from the first time I took it to the track just by getting seat time in it. One thing my car responded to was short shifting 1st gear at 6500 (as opposed to 7k) and running out 3rd gear as long as I could before shifting to 4th.
My suggestion from here would be to put a Wolfe chromoly bar in it, buy some front skinnies, and just keep working on driving it. You'll be in the 10s and the mph will probably be 125+. Thats REAL good for a full weight M6 street car

I think the only way it'd run a 10 is if the stars and planets aligned perfectly and the Hand of God physically touched the Teal Turd. I have to go with the Fatboy and say the best bestest on how it stands now would probably be another 10th or two with better air.
Thanks.
Much appercitated.
Oh yeah, and THANK YOU, POOKIE!

Thanks again everyone. I'm not sure I'm into the drag racing thing enough to justify the purchase of skinnies. Maybe if I run into a deal... Most of my track ***** days are pretty much over unless there's a group going and that doesn't happen a whole lot around here anymore.
Congrats. Car still looks the same as the last time I saw it.
Need to hit up some track rentals now. That's how I did the TTA when I was still up there. Nobody bothers you with that silly tech in stuff
