Thanks. No real WR just added weight lol. Not drag wheels. CCW rims. 305/40 18 DR.



Thanks man. Awesome runs. Have to agree this car will E/T low elevens. Mid 120's. Can't wait to see.

When I ran Gus I didn't have the EWP. New mod.

some great runs guys. Both cars was running hard.

but also agree need to lower that car. Lol
everyone says the higher trapping car always wins the role. I’ve always thought that wasn’t always true. I’ve stayed with cars on the big end that had 2-3 mph on me. Much more than that it don’t happen though

a 1.7 60 isn’t that terrible for a manual. What was the da for the 122 run ? Are you on pump 93? If so you are at an even bigger disadvantage in the heat compared to E85

both are probably ~125 cars. Would be a great race between the 3 of us

Trap speeds can tell a lot. As in with my car just changing the gear may gain a couple mph at the track. But on the street is what my car was built for.

It was a 1.84 sixty. My best lol. It was like 1300DA. Yes pump 93.

I agree.

I'm willing to bet you'd pick up a few mph with a steeper gear and/or 26" tire. Just a thought. I'm sure it crossed your mind at one point right lol?

ive seen cars trap less at track but walk people on the street. Or walk someone on street and then get crushed by same car at the track.

Damn...Those were some badass runs! Both cars run hard and the 4th Gen had some good top end.
Good stuff, guys!

Nothing wrong with that 383. Is it optimized...? No of course not. Is something wrong with it...? Hell no lol. For a full weight, 3.42 gear and 28" tire setup, I think it runs very well

So.. with a gear change & some -800DA you don't think it could pick up a couple mph? Maybe a driver mod but I don't want my friends breaking my car. Lol.

so...what if a 130 mph car runs a 122mph with a LOT of torque. i mean a ****-ton, and the torque car puts a few mph on the 130mph car mid range?. the faster mph car has to make that difference up. it doesnt always happen. AND they were 150 mph. the better aero car showed up at 150. IMO. its just not that simple as mph always wins. thats HIO logic.
