Ok guys. This was the frist time I took the car to the track since getting it back here in AL. Any questions just ask.
First race went like this. R/T-.352 60'-2.595 330-6.801 1/8-10.197 mph-72.34
That was against my friends SER spec v. I raped then owned him.

Second was against a stock SRT4... The guy must not have known how to drive. I got him by like a car and a half, and this is how it went for me.
R/T-.232 60'-2.318 330-6.466 1/8-9.877 mph-71.86

I also ran a couple more times but I kept screwing up the launch and threw the timeslips out because they were ugly. Horrid even. But yea these were made boost spiking to like 16 psi and holding at 13. :thumb: What do you guys think?
 
Times aren't bad...launching these FWD's is the toughest part. IF you can get your 60' down to a solid 2.2xx then a 9.7-9.6 is very reachable.
 
1/8th mile racing is like sex without finishing. You can't gauge how good it actually is.
 
yea... but unfortunately their isn't a quarter mile track that will allow open runs around here. WTF The only one even slightly close is Steele and this year they are only doing open runs like three or four times within the normal open season... :barf: The rest is pro mod shows. Well that's according to what I eard. Anyone around the b'ham area that knows a little more about that can correct me and I would love to get a couple of quarter mile slips. :thumb:

Yea... I'll be working on that one. This is the first time I have had the car at the track. It is on a new clutch that isn't completley broken in yet. And I think the clutch needs to be bled. I was takin it kinda easy to say the least. :shhh: But hopefully in the next couple of weeks a 9.7 or 9.6 will be easily accesible. It would mean that the other two SRT's that were there would be within my grasp. :thumb:
 
I'm always in the mood to beat on some SRT-4's too. And I pulled out some old time slips and your 2nd run is almost identical to one of my runs a while back(9.82 @ 73.2mph) and I ran a 15.1 at 92mph in the 1/4.
 
i cut a 9.683 @ 73 mph in my GSX stock with a small boost leak. so not far off being FWD! congrats!

also against a SRT4 he cut a 9.680@76 mph i was pissed AWD had him for 3/4 of th 1/8mile but that FWD top end got me in the end.
