kirks5oh Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 decided to take my GTR to the strip for test and tune night. ended up running 4 times, with the following times:: 10.95 10.90 10.8x 10.81 all trap speeds were 127.xx, with 1.6x 60' times. one thing i didn't do was run the car with the comfort shock settings, which i should have done--and i had 3/4 tank of gas. had a blast, blowing away an f-body, a viper, and finally some kid in a modded wrx-sti (big turbo). he actually called me out. he was probably 20 buses behind me. asked me what i ran, and said if he would have had his launch down we would have been side-by-side :dumb: this run was after a little cooldown. http://imageshack.us/a/img607/7429/dsc00640td.jpg http://s690.photobuc...trdrag.mp4.html this was my first run. some random guy sent me a copy he videoed with his iphone. i was running a gutted, big block nova. he beat my reaction time and 60', but i ran him down at 1000' and beat his 11.2, with a 10.9. you can see my smoke the tires at the top of first. i really couldn't get the tires dry after going through the water box. all that, and i only have a 91 octane tune and blow off valves :fuckyeah: can't wait to run e85 hopefully, i'll have some gopro footage up later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Nice. But why would you drive through the water box on street tires? Also, the link doesn't work for the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 The real question is, when is to going to Switzer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 The real question is, when is to going to Switzer? Not anytime soon. I'm enjoying it right now. Anything more and I just can't trust the transmission. I think I will be satisfied with an e85 time for a while. This is my daily driver, including the winter.

IMO, I'd keep the Vette for the weekends and Fridays. The CTS-V for dinners with the family and work stuff and the GTR for the kid in you daily. The 85 Stang for C&C events.

The mustang just got picked up by ford. Lemon. I made the right decision though. There was a modded '13 running 12's. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
