December 8, 200718 yr #1 I went down to the plex in perth last night...I took my car down in full street trim (no radials or slicks)..I managed to be pulling 12.9 all night, couldnt go up or down, is this ok for a T ute with this sought off power. if so what do use think ill pull with radials?best time of the night was..12.93 @ 112 mph 60 ft 2.103any room for improvement?Tips?
December 8, 200718 yr #2 that's pretty similar to me mate, note my sig, you should be able to get a mid 12 with street slicks
December 8, 200718 yr #3 I have very similar power to you and on 18" dunlops I managed 13.0, 12.8, 12.8, 12.7 all @ 112mph last time I went down. My 60' times were a little lower at 2.0 so if you can manage that you could go a bit lower on street tyres, then maybe a low 12 on slicks
December 8, 200718 yr #4 Personally.............I'd be rapt with that. I have similar power (333) and could only manage a 13.7 at Meremere in NZ (we notice over here that your times for same car/power are quicker in Oz - something to do with underarm bowling!?!?!?! - more likely to be the superior track surfaces you have). After that it was 14s with 60ft of 2.5-2.6. I am not good at getting off the mark. My speed same as yours 178-180kmph or 112mph. I was on streets also. I know my car can go quicker....right now the driver is the problem. Enjoy your '12 something' Mate. I am sure you will go quicker. "they" say you will take up to .75 of a second off with something like an E/T Street (not street radial) so that would take you into low 12s. The way I see it, I would still rather have a manual for the 99.9% of the time I am not tearing down the strip.Velluto
December 8, 200718 yr #6 I'll swap ya JP I'd say a 10sec daily driver would be fun regardless of being auto or manual
December 10, 200718 yr #7 f6 ute cracked an 11 with around that much power with mt streets!! he ran 118mph but so I could be wrong re his power.I'd say low to mid 12 with mt's without a doubt.there'd be .3 secs just in the 60' time with mt's I'd say..12 anything is not to be sneezed at it a manual but! great work
December 10, 200718 yr #10 damn and here I was hoping for a 12 when I get my mods I'll have to go for some runs in NZ so my times seem good
