I ran a 7.7 in the 1/8th and made a 11.88 pass, but your car doesn't have the top end to make it into the 11's even with your decent 1/8th mile.

Stopsign.. No way you would run 11s with that man. You have a good 1/8 ET but your mph is just lacking to pull you up top like an Ls1.

This is why I walk so many people on the street.

I'll take .2 off my 60' and .4 quicker ET and lose 2mph ANY day over .2 slower 60' and .4 slower ET and gain 2mph.

A car moving .2 quicker in the 60' is walking away from you at a good pace.

The ONLY way I would take mph over 60'/ET is if all I do is 60+mph rolls. And that is gay.

Trap 2mph faster than me but ET .4 slower and 60' .2 slower.... Go ahead and see how you fair will a 20/30 roll. I will walk you every single time unless we are going 130+. Which is dumb on the street.

Hiho says I will get walked by a stock LS1. We wont even get into what would happen against a bolt on one.

Not sure if i agree with this.
You take launch out of the equation and all bets are off.
Id give stoppy and killer ET cars with low traps a damn good run in my LNF from any roll. Not just above 60mph. At a strip or dig street its plain embarrasing for me.

I trapped 109 with the first 100feet a waste of space. But id run with a mid 12 car if they get out the hole and trap 108-110.

Too bad will didnt get our dig on film back in the day with 335xi vs slobalt. He made me look like i was not racing from a stop. Then the roll we were trading paint.

im confident evn in the HHR, if give a stock new SS a scare with their 110 traps if we did a 30 roll.

For killer ET's i have the hugger but impromptu street races end up bein rolls....where a good trap makes for fun times.

This would be interesting to see how it played out from a roll... Amazing to me what kind of ET you are pulling with that power.

From anything below a 35 roll I think I'd jump out hard. From anything over that I think it would be neck and neck. That's my honest opinion.

^id agree with that.
Brake boosting may help a little but i never do it so it wouldnt be the norm for me. I have a race with my buddies G8 hopefully this weekend ;-)

My last time out.
New ride should run the same since we have more practice nailing the tune.

60......2.197
330....6.125
1/8.....9.083 MPH....84.24
1000...11.570
1/4.....13.658 MPH....109.05

Bunch of us are goin to the track on the 20th but Im bringin the hugger due to popular request or id bring the HHR

have you made any 1/4 mile passes in your Mach StopSign? I'm curious what that thing can pull. It moves the **** out off the line, but all these other guys keep saying it doesn't have the top end power to keep on pulling through a 1/4 mile track.

It ran 12.5@108mph on stock suspension.

Was that with everything you've got on the car when you did that 1/8 mile pass in the video?
