I let off the throttle a bit near the top end because the above pass because it was bracket racing.

Last pass of the day I spun to a 13.3 at 110

I think I'm getting the hang of the car. I still have to baby it on the launch and through first gear. Stupid 245 45 20's.

Only changes since last time are a k&n cold air kit and oil change.

Coolant temp was 215 because I had about a 20 minute cool down between passes.

This car sooooooooo needs a tire!

Re: Back again, even quicker in the challenger

Ha thats quite the porker, almost 1000 lbs heavier than my race weight. You gonna pick up drag radials for it?

Re: Back again, even quicker in the challenger

I'm tempted.....but I do enjoy having street tires. I may try out 275 40 20's in the rear n see if that helps.

If I got drag radials (which the wife already said I could do) it would go down a bad path....I'd want 11's asap

it blows my mind that these new cars are pulling sub 2.0 60s on 20s and people make it sound terrible. hell best ive ever done on the 245s on the t/as stock 16s was in the 1.9s and i felt that was pretty damn good for street tires all things considered.

You see the 60' times the c7s are putting down on factory tires yet?

I just watch one on Utube and they couldn't get the C7 to hook. They were averaging 5.6 sec.
