You be better off trying to keep the fronts on the ground imo. I mean it looks cool but that's alot of wasted energy for 1.7 60s

So you think just pulling the tires makes for some awesome launch.......lol....ok

How come you didn't call zoolander out on that .945 60? Serious question. I mean if you're gonna be a bitch about one you have to be a bitch out the other or you're just a pos dem hypocrite. I think it's obvious what you are at this point.

Hio got trolled into oblivion and still doesn't realize it.

Tighten down those fronts. Gotta keep that front end down, Hio is right about the wasted energy.

There was no trolling....i let zoolander own it for a while before i said anything. According to his attitude towards my 60 he shouldn't even have posted that run......because it didn't exist according to his thought process.

Ran out of time and money to worry about the suspension this year. It does look cool though, haha.

Hio is correct. Launch in picture is 1.52. With front bar hooked up and stock wheels. Work on suspension and you will gain some ET. Pics look great

At this point im definitely going to try cutting the stock springs, like Hio said. I dont want the car to be 100% focused on drag racing. Its a good all around car that still handles well.

From what i have experienced that will work best for ya. There was another guy on here that did a good write up on different springs that he used. He came to the same conclusion.

Thinking about getting new daily wheels but all nice wheels are pricey. Think I’m gonna re finish my 20” velgens in this color. Brushed dark black. Right now they are matte black.

But verified draggy was super accurate lol been 8.3@90 on the street without dropping tire pressure or anything at all. Was pretty disappointed never spun so bad in 3rd but pretty good time anyways.

She sure did! LOL and OWNED!

A little wheels up isn't a bad thing, all the weight is on the back tires for traction that way. 6 inches for 60ft is kinda nice.

Just got back from the biggest streetcar shootout in Alberta of the year.

White Whale lost in the semi finals in DOT No Cage 10.0 class. This car hates DOT tires at the strip. It can't 60ft for **** with them. Best it did was launching in 2nd gear (1.8x 60ft), spinning on the hit and then ran it out to a 10.10@152.74mph. lol

Team Cobro came home with the big win in the unlimited 1/8 class. This class is any size tire or power adder as long as the car is licensed/insured and completed the 30mile city/hiway cruise. Ended up beating 2 competitors that we shouldn't have, but that's racing. The margin of victory for cobro in the finals was 0.005 seconds. Doesn't get much closer than that!



PS. Where my haters at?

Thanks BC!

Ps. Would you listen to someone that never went faster than low 11s with her own junk in 20 years of mods and thinks that 12x mph is impressive? Wow huh
