It was nice weath 72* but there were A LOT of cars there including 30+ Corvettes for some gathering or other. I didn't beat my best of 12.36@112 as I couldn't get any traction in the cool weather with my Vredesteins. I ran a best of 12.61@112 on my first pass. My times stayed about the same but my 60' times kept going up! A friend videotaped one run where I thought I was being gentle off the line and I was spinning like crazy (didn't even hear or feel it). A stock SRT Challenger ran consistent 13.4s @ 105MPH. A 300 with nitrous ran 13.00@112. Looked like he was having traction problems too. Someone told me his car was a V6 with a V8 transplant (unknown 5.7 or 6.1). My buddy's bolt on/CMR tuned Charger SRT8 ran stockish numbers (mid 13s @108) although I've seen him run 12.71@111 in the past. I think the DA was probably between 300 and 800' but the cool weather made for sucky traction. The Corvettes did pretty nice. Lots of low 12s @ 120 MPH. I figured these were LS3s with bolt ons and street tires. There was a stock '03 M3 there (the 416 HP one) that ran 13.1@111 MPH. He looked like he was launching really soft. My buddy's '77 Monaco 4-dr police car with 440 Magnum engine ran mid 14s and 100 MPH. There was even a Tesla electric sports car there that ran 12.7!! Kind of cool.
Sounds fun Jeff, sorry I missed it. Spring time baby, spring time! Hey with that many cars there how many runs did you get??
the transplant guys name is Adam he told me he ran in the 11's with the spray. The kit he has is my old kit I sold him. Great guy, the car use to have suicide doors too
'08 M3s are running V8s with about 416 hp. The newer ('06 and up) M5 (V10) have 507 hp. Nice cars Is he running a 5.7 or 6.1? I think he was on street tires so I would assume that would explain the difference in times. I also heard from someone that he was running a cam but stock heads. 4 runs in 5 hours. I redlighted by .03 on my second bracket race.
adam is running a 6.1 with a small PPP cam and a 100 shot of juice the 13.0 times where on 22 inch rims with shitty tires. his trap speed was 115. so hes making power, he told me he went in the high 11's last week with his buddys drag radials
Man - great day to not only get in some runs, but I love it when some other killer rides come out to play! Thanks for sharing Eric
