Whos got the Fastest ET's on Street Tires?

Im going to attempt to see what I can get out of my new setup on street tires.
Ill be pushing about 40more rwhp more than when I ran a 12.9 @111 on Yokohama ES100s. So Im thinking with the right adjustment of air pressure I could eek out a low 12s.

Anyone done 11's on street tires (not drag radials)

Do ET streets or DOT drag radials count?

nope,
Im mostly curious as to straight up street rubber.

My car is a daily driver and I go to the track as is. No swapping out anything, or taking anything out. Just hit Hi Boost and go. I would love to see 11's on my basic setup.

Differentials are not cheap, let's pretend we did this on stiff sidewall tires with lots of wheelhop instead of really doing it.

youll never hit 11s on street tires EVER. I consider 2.0 to be a good 60 on street tires for our car and that would require about 415rwhp for you to barely get 11s.

12.35s will require around 390rwhp with a 2.0 60 time.

you want a good time get a 1.6 60 foot and make your car look fast until people see the trap

I could get 11's on street tires, easily.

My 2nd time at the 1/4 mile I got a 12.4 @ 117 mph. This was with less than 1/2 throttle in 1st and 2nd gear because of the dreaded wheel hop. I've since put on a diff brace which got rid of 90% of wheel hop. I'm still running completely stock suspension. Haven't made it out to the track since then.

This was with a 2.2 60 foot.

I'm running Bridgestone RE730's. Maybe 750's, I can't remember... 245/45 16's

Edit: It's my daily driver also.

A buddy of mine here in Colorado hit a 12.1 with a shitty launch. He's looking to hit 11's this year. We will see in a few weeks, we also fixed a few of his problems from last year so it shouldn't be a problem.

One of the local guys here has run numerous low 12's with a best of 12.1 at 113 passes on Kumho street tires (not the r-compound ones). Non-seq., ported motor with all the bolt-ons.

I did a 12.07 at just under 118mph a few years back on the stock turbos with street tires. Haven't been back since going single turbo but have thought about it. I also would love to run a high 11 with a 120 mph trap on street tires.

HA I guess Im just negative. I keep forgetting that my wheel hop didnt stop until 60mph and I was on and off the throttle even after the 60 foot mark so my 2.0 60 foot time doesnt mean much. My car is like a supra with a crazy trap and still **** times. Good luck to all of you doing this with the stock twins im not sure wtf you are doing differently.
