I would agree with 409 and say mid 11s. 11.6 being the worst pass you would see.

I'm right at 120mph also in our Monaro which weighs in at 3880lbs.
60's in the 1.5xx result in 11.2xx times, so 1.7xx will probably be somewhere in the mid 11's.

Not sure why you would be doing 1.7's if you have enough power to push 120mph?
I'm still black tracking whilst running 1.53's and am looking at sorting out the traction issues to get the ET down to 11.0.

I have kind of the same issue. It's a combination of the tire and track conditions. At test and tune here half the ricers drive thru the water box and between that and not much traction compound if at all on the track make launching a trick. These M6s take a real fineness to balance the hook and spin under those conditions.

I do have the power but not enough seat time at the track to get the 60' foot time I would like. I also drive to the the track and I don't want to get towed home. One question what RPM are you guys leaving at ?

I guess your running a manual so probably not that relevant that our auto sits on the line at idle.

I have one timeslip at exactly 120 mph trap and 1.7 short time which resulted in 11.6 ET.

I guess you must be spinning to only run a 1.7?

Soft launch, if I try launching hard, I spin.
