It would be good to have a running thread(or new one each week) like the OFR guys have when they get people along and hit the track....

I had a ball out there as always, was alot of cars which meant I didn't get too many runs & they were mainly littlies which don't interest me a great deal but I was reasonably happy enough with my times I would have liked 11s but 12.1 @ 109 in full street trim including tyres is fairly close.

What a great night. It was my first, but definitely not not my last. Sorry B1B missed out (by minutes), I was looking forward to lining up the two ELs. As for me, I got 4 runs and suprisingly consistant I thought. 15.283, 15.238, 15.359, 15.353 (Last 2 were bad launches.

This is the breakdown. 1st and 4th runs had the trans in ECONOMY (changing up at 5000rpm), 2nd & 3rd runs in POWER (changing at 5500rpm).

60ft ET MPH
1st: 2.276 15.283 91.37
2nd: 2.240 15.238 89.31
3rd: 2.350 15.395 88.86
4th: 2.309 15.353 91.27

Aiming for a 15.1 next time...

yeh I would have thought for those times you would have a better terminal speed too. I am obviously not getting off the line as quick 2.36-2.39 for the 60' but the terminal speeds are close. You are getting a good launch and mid range power must be good too. Interesting comparing it to a 6cyl auto.

1.6 60 foots which I reckon is about as good as I'm going to get on street tyres being auto makes it alot easier to launch consitently but I didn't stall it up as I red lighted on my first run of the night as it crept forward under stall so I didn't try to again. I think I can gain a smidge stalling it up.
Looking through all the times of the night there was cars ahead of me with lower mph still.

Shit, what kind of tyres are you running on the street? You get a full second on me by the 60ft line. I run a 13.6 at 105mph.

Sounds like an awesome street setup.

They are Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros which are as good as your going to get for a real street tyre even tho I run the skinniest they make as I don't even have my guards lipped so they still spin.
The car has mini spool, 4.11s & a 3800 stall on a manualised C4 I have 90/10s in the front too so all these things help get the power to the ground better.
It's not my daily driver as I couldn't bare to leave it parked anywhere I couldn't see it but it is driven regularly.
