You have gained a bit of respect back. You can't just make such a small post talking **** and expect anyone to take you serious.

Glad to see the vett win. Should have went for a much slower apponet. Maybe a 6cyl f-body. Hopefully you post some more vids and for your sake maybe a win for the old Stang. Be cool and repectfull and we will all be the same.

Busting your chops on the v6. I don't know what you have. If it is a 10.0 flat vett I can't see you running but mid 12s and that is on the generous side.

An 8.50 on a 2.2 60' makes that a low 12 second mustang with good traction. Pull a 1.5-1.6 60' and you're going to yank that ET down by A LOT! Add a 100 shot, and 11.8s are a conservative estimate. custm2500 obviously has a bone to pick with you, which is why he's being a dick.

It's all in traction, though. If you don't have the traction, you'll never see the ET.

I was thinking a mid 8 1/8th would be about a 13 in the 1/4. Maybe i miscalculated.

Your calculations are pretty accurate. You just aren't considering the rest of the facts. If his car was running 8.5s with a 2.2 60', it means there is a whole lot left there in traction. If he's capable of running a 13.1 or so, he'll be 12.5 ish with a 1.8 60'. Add a 100 shot on it, and well... 11.8 is easily in reach.

Now, back to the video. Regardless of his traction from a dig, his car should hook and run just like an 11 second car from a roll as it sits.

are you a retard? 8.5 is not low 12's in the 1/4................. its mid 13's.

chris stop with the if this if that if if if.... 8.5 thats only a tenth quicker than what i ran in my 2001 TA stock lol with a 2.1 60ft. is that how mustang guys get through the days. going well if i had this and added that id be this fast..... there is no guarantee he will get a 1.5 to 1.6 60ft in the first place. either way he is a moron to add a 100shot if he cant get traction without it. power means nothing if you cant put it down.

^^^ this, and to cut a 1.5 60' he better have a good setup, my bet is mid-low 12's with traction and spray.

No, I'm not a retard, and it's not mid 13s, it's low 13s. I said "with traction," and a 2.2 60' does not fit that description. Therefore, an 8.5 car with a 2.2 will go low 12s in the 1/4 with good traction. The power is there. On the highway, it will hook because traction isn't an issue for such a car in higher gears.

chris stop with the if this if that if if if....
Ok, allow me to rephrase, now that he's got traction and a 100 shot, he's going to run a lot better than a 12.5 with that car.

8.5 thats only a tenth quicker than what i ran in my 2001 TA stock lol with a 2.1 60ft.
Now, add a 100 shot and 15" drag radials to a stock TA and tell me what it'll run? Mid 12s, really? are you a retard?

is that how mustang guys get through the days. going well if i had this and added that id be this fast.....
No, we get through the days by embarrassing the fanbois with what they believe should be a slower car. See, you'd put your money on the fact that this is a mid-12s car. I know better.

there is no guarantee he will get a 1.5 to 1.6 60ft in the first place.
Not only is there no guarantee, it's not going to happen until he gets a convertor, but 1.7-1.8s? Sure, no problem. Hopefully, he's mastered the 1-2-1 shuffle (only AOD guys know what I'm talking about).

either way he is a moron to add a 100shot if he cant get traction without it. power means nothing if you cant put it down.
Why is he a moron? I'm sure he can put his 100 shot to the ground from a roll. Therefore, even if he's launching without the nitrous from a dig and starting to spray in 2nd gear, the 100 shot will still improve his ETs. With the tires and the AOD, he might not even have traction issues with the shot in 1st.

He won't have to. 1.8 will do for mid 12s. You might be right about the low 12s, but 11s is easily feasible with this car.

My good setup consisted of a fox-body with 4-cyl front springs, a removed front sway bar, and 15" ET streets. Granted I was running 4.10s with a manual tranny. He'll need a convertor to get down there.

That vette did pull ya pretty damn good. But then again a car with the sort of setup he has should be able to pull. Good job getting it on video.





GXPPOWER the comments you said in your last post are ignorant. We all know that chances are likely that if a car is running a 2.2 60' time then it is either having serious traction issues or extremely extremely slow.

When I just had boltons and 100 wetshot on the G8 the car was capable of low 12's. I had Mickey DR's on order but still decided to take it to the track and spray it with the progressive controller on a mild ramp to see what it could so on streets. The best ET the car ran was a 12.8 with a 2.2 60'. Even with the mild progressive ramp traction was so horrible I had to completely get out of the gas just after the launch a few times. On average the car ran 12.8-12.9 with 2.2-2.3 60' times. Once the Mickeys made it on the ET's dropped to where they should have been based upon what the initial timeslips said. Being able to analyze a dragstrip timeslip is one of the key components to making your car faster because it tells so much. If you cannot understand what affects what then you are bound to stay slow and clueless. It seems you are in this category. Good luck trying to understand timeslips.

who gives a f*** what if. wait till he runs the damn thing. Once he does every single one of you will come in saying, well if you would do this, or would have done that you would have ran that.

OP, you got yanked hard, what are the details on his car. A stock motor LS1 Vette with 100 shot would still yank pretty close to that if your mid 12s.
