just saying with practice you can get a 2.00 even with a n/a. if you ran your car 7 times every friday night for 3 years you are doing something wrong....... i try to help my friends when they drag race. if you say 2.2 is good enough you will never try to do better..... oh well its your cars do whatever you want. there is always room for improvement even for me. when i get my TII running again. i'm gonna see if i can get a 1.8 60 FT on street tires

 

The track she went to is VERY badly prepped and is VERY slick.


I was cutting 1.71's on 205 55 D60A2's in my Talon on the track wheelhopping and spinning all 4. My best time at the track in the Talon was a 7.5@97mph.

In my white TII I was able to cut 2.1's pretty consitently at this track, but it would still be spinning well into 2nd gear.

 

same here our track sucks ***. when you go down the track you hear all kinds of **** hitting your car. i was going all through my slips and my best time was 2.0035

 

You talking about Desoto Speedway?

 

I think in a stock or slightly modded N/A on street tires, it would be nearly impossible to get a 60 ft. under 2.0. IMO they do not have enough torque or power to go any faster. A more modified N/A or TII should be able to go 1.9 or 1.8, but not a mild N/A. No matter how good a driver you are, you still are limited by physics. You just can't break those laws no matter how good you are.

I've only run my stock N/A at the track once, and my 60 ft. time was 2.3 (very worn suspension) and I ran the 1/8 mile in 10.5. That's about what I expected. I have new KYB AGX shocks now, so I could probably get a 2.2 60 ft. time, but not much faster with 16 year old springs and worn bushings.

no i dont live there i live in ft myers i am talking about the track out at imokiliee

 

thanks, that's what I was trying to remember what it was... I didn't feel like breaking anything, perferbly that - so.. obviously one reason why I launched it semi-soft... and to the green, not just the second yellow light, then go.

 

yeah, I didn't quite expect the track to be *THAT* slick. It wasn't that bad - but considering the minor problems with the car and not to mention street tires (not that good either ... TPT in the front, H4s in the back...toyo proxies). I think I did reasonbly swell for my first time dragging the car at a strip, just not street-wise. I believe once I get the 6ports to work properly and get my mods in December(getting rid of cats, as previously posted) ... the car will run reasonbly well, for the most part.
