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.

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

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.

Stack rank the cars in your stable. Sounds to me like the Moostang should be sold.

 

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
