Maybe 1 second was a bit overly optimistic, but...

FC NA witha nice launch on street tires can get down to the 2.0 - 2.2 60' range.&nbsp That same FC NA should be able to cut a 1.7 60' with a redline clutch dump in first gear, right?

I'd think the slicks would be worth at least half a second...

Yea... I'll agree on a .5 sec drop... dropping the clutch at 7K+ with slicks though will BREAK things fast.

Ok, so if we go with the rule of thumb - for ever 0.1 second drop in the 60', we get a 0.2 second drop in the 1/4-mile ET...half a second 60' drop in time would equate to roughly a second drop in the ET.

huh...?

I'm agreeing on a .5 sec drop in ET not 60'.

You sure about that 60ft rule of thumb...?

There has to be a way to prove ownership of the slip...Any ideas?

Have somone video it and post it on the fourm.
