IndyKid,

You tell us your 9 wins and zero losses but refuse us the ET. Why don't you disclose it? I mean who cares... Take the good with the bad. You tell us of all your wins and sweep the not so superman performances under the rug. That's kinda weak.

Edit- It sounds a little harsh ^^. But basically you could run a 14.5 and I would not think anyless of you. Cuz there is always room for improvement

Unlike you, I don't let my mouth spout off before thinking, therefore, I don't get into **** like your trap have gotten yourself into.

Go and back and reread my last post. Do you want the run or not?

12.1 that's nothing to be ashamed of. Especially when you aren't a drag racer.

Let me get this right. Indykid, for years, uses the kills forum to share countless cool videos, post as much or more than most and there are still people that need to **** and wine about a car they most likely wouldn't have a chance beating with their own car? LOL

The lowest distance time possible at the expense of popping stock drive lines on slicks is fun if your the other guy typing smack on a forum, but trap speed is the real proof as to acceleration potential. 122 mph trap is fast any way you look at it. If you're beating everyone you race and your car is set up for rolling punch performance I'd see little point in trying to better 60ft times at the drag strip.

There's always the option to go back and subtract from your 60ft knowing you could have pulled a 1.4 60ft if you didn't snap something on a hard slicks launch. If you have nothing to prove and you're beating everyone you race, what's the point of destroying your car?

or

If you wanted to figure out general potential use drag racing calculators.

122 trap speed in a 3700 lb car(Supra with driver) is about 530 uncorrected wheel HP. That's about good for low 11s on a good launch with sticky tires. With a good tail wind you might hit a high 10.

If you're running high 11s or even low 12s there's nothing bad about saving your drive line and having 2.0 - 2.5 60fts.

Sometimes I just don't understand you guys. Someone comes in here and post a kill and everybody's quick to jump on him because he's not in a 7. Bottom line for everybody...there's always someone faster No need in bitching about who's car is the fastest to each other in a forum. Just Go Race and STFU!

Congrats on your kills.

Psh, I can take any of you in my NA FC. I shift mad qwik y0! Sometimes the welds on my intake break off and my passenger floor pan comes off from shifting so fast.

Coming back to reality...

Nice kills IndyKid, and nice Supra. And a 12 second car is nothing to be ashamed of, at all.

Z06s are no f'ing joke when u add gas. no lag and a very nice hp to weight ratio make them pretty tough to beat.

I know plenty of people who don't disclose power/times #s because they don't want "the people on the streets" knowing what they are capable of.

I don't think he was with holding because he was embarassed; it's to insure money to continue coming in. However, I think street racing for money is stupid. Heh.

you roll race adn disclose your trap speed.. yet didnt wanna disclose your ET?

ET doesnt do anything in a roll street race... trap speed does. you'd be smart to not disclose your trap speed. i trap 99-100 in the fall weather and 98 in the summer... and i raced a 99mph car yesterday. he does 13.6's to my 13.88-13.93's.... beats me by a car to 1.5 cars at the strip everytime...but from a 45-50punch, i hung dead even to abit over 100mph before we shut down

again, trap speeds dictates roll races for the most part. thats better information to know than ET when racing on the street from a roll.

and any good knowlegable racer would know that a 122mph car is low 11's to mid 12's depending on tire.. by knowing your on a unprepped or poorly prepped track on street tires, i would have guess'd lower 12's, and u said 12.1.

and bone stock Z06 should trap 116-117 on a good cool day well driven. full exhaust/lid tune makes 120+mph.. which should hang with you well. any nitrous or cams or headwork on top of those basic first mods and your not gonna be too happy racing that with 122mph trap speed

but again, nice car and impressive runs.. i read about his on SVTperformance

Hey Matty thanks for the info. I'm very well versed with corvette's having owned 3 one of which was a zo6, I know what I'm up against. I still have friends that own vettes modded and like wise. I have a friend that owns a c6zo6, and another that runs from what I can see the setup or close to the 03z06guy.

So there will probably be a lot of guys rockin' sevens a lot like his or even more extensively modded.

The Supra is a awesome high performance sports car and all he was trying to say is that if he owned it he would always try to get is money's worth.....Im mean crap who wouldn't want to rip on a solid 12 second car??...so much fun.

Just my $ .2
in COMPARISON to what he raced.

Well lets just say that the efficiency of my turbo is 28psi and goes to a max of 35psi. I was running 23psi when I trapped the 122.87. A 40 roll, I think I'll be okay.

can u turn up the boost though? Do u have the fuel and tuning? can your engine and tranny handle it?
everyone always makes that comment./..kind iof annnoying.
to overcome the lag and wieght and such i would guess a supra needs atleast 100more rwhp to beat a z06. i bet 03z6 guy is putting down 550 ish.

That's probably right. Sp dyno'ed there 61 at 620rwhp @35psi so it would be close. With the gearing and a roll I think I'll be okay. I know what you mean Matty.lol

indykid what tire were you running on and what was your 60ft?

not trying to start an argument or anything just doing a comparison because i went to the track and ran 12.0-12.1 at 125mph with 2.1-2.2 60fts i kept bogging off the line!
