My slips from yesterdays rental

[Blwn04]

I wouldnt say im dissapointed as much as i would say im a total puss, lol. I really didnt lauch this car hard at all as the 60' times show. Shes a 10 second car all day with a bitch ass 11 second driver, lol. In my defense my first run was strictly a shake down where i shifted @ 5k in 1st and 2nd then laid into 3rd and 4th, thats the 12.0 slip..i got a nice Cage/fire jacket written on top of that slip. second run was a 1/8th mile run only trapped a best of 101.x mph....3rd run was a botched bogged launch 11.50 @ 127 mph then i packed her up. I really need either a solid axle or level 5 half shafts to let her rip to her potential. anywho here's the slips

Haha, yeah those 60 foots are a little slow but hey, you went faster than most guys have before. Were you running D/Rs, or slicks? What do you have done to your car?

M/T drag radials....I have a whipple 2.3 making 18psi (611rwhp & 556 rwtq) Supporting mods also. Stock half shafts made me think twice about hard launches but all in all i drove to cecil county from CT with the top down both ways.

Just get some slicks and you should be fine with the stock axles. ALOT of guys run real fast with stock half shafts. It's wheel hop that causes them to bind and break, not to much the power.

Nice trap speed though!!!

Those are some good hp numbers. It's always nice to be able to drive to and from the drag strip without any problems.

Nice man, I don't blame you.. unless you got the level 5 half shafts, once you started launching hard, you will only keep getting aggressive with it and eventualy thats how shit start to break, I plan to baby mine on launches when I hit the track soon. As long as you had a good time, better safe than sorry

yea, next round of mods are more bushings for the rear and level 5's...also a 6 pt bar setup with swing outs...6k launches here i come, i know how to drive but being 5 hrs away from home with no trailer made me think twice about hard launches...atleast i know it goes mid to low 11's in the heat leaving a stop light..lol

CONGRATS Blwn04
The powers there, a 126.96 MPH = 10.73606 on the conversion chart. Now all you have to do is put it to the ground and your all set

Def a 10 second car...just has a 11 second driver right now, lol. Ordering up some level 5's in the next month or so and then ill try and get into another rental if possible.

Big time HP...just need to put the power to the ground in the first 60 feet!!

Last time I had the DSG to LVD (Sept. '06) I ran a 12.0 at 117.6, 60' times of 1.83 with Nitto 275 Drag Radials...

Suprised you didn't hit and 11 with that good of a 60ft, my friends went 11.8@121 w/1.95 60ft

Headwind ... and look at the difference in MPH!!!

With the new tune & mods (since '06) from MM, I'd like to see a 11.7 at 121 range!

So i decided to bite the bullet and add a 6pt cage to the vert, with swing outs of course seeing its mainly a street car. JW racing in Seymour CT has given me a date of sometime early July...now i gotta beef up the IRS and maybe add a tiny bit of boost to it, cant believe i might actually consider putting a lower pulley on it. Only seeing 17psi in the heat, 19 psi in the cold...time for a multi tune setup so i can set it on kill for the track in the fall...also getting 80lb/hr injectors, pretty sure my 60's are close to maxed out. I want 10.7's before the end of the season in my heavy ass Street driven Vert on a drag radial

I can't come to grips with putting a cage in either Cobra....Post some pics when you do it!

I definately will, it will greatly improve the handling and rigidity of the vert. Plus I won't have to hope tech doesn't kick me off the track anymore. Once the suspension is all set then ill add more power. My goal is a turnkey 10 second car that could drive across the country with the top down

^^ You'll have that for sure! GL!!
