1.755 60' on Pilot Sports?!?!? That's pretty impressive.

I don't know how you managed a 1.7 60' on pilot sports? That's over .3+ faster than everone I know on sports...Are you sure you had your pilots on and not your drag radials?

 

[plumcrazy]

way to go......

I've done 1.72 on Pilot's. I think JD broke the record with a 1.69 at the V-10 Nationals.

Certainly faster than my pooch Tripod. Way faster actually.

Congrats.

What mods have you done to it? 11.70's is impressive.

What RPM were you coming off the line?
Great time.

I wish I could do that 60 ft time in my beast. The best I ever had with my GTS was a poor time of 2.15, but some of that was due to heatcyled tires from roadcourses. My car would make 122 in the quarter, but the e.t. was 12.2, which I thought was really poor considering the mph it made. I never got to try the slicks before I sold it. Now I have an SRT with some new Kumho 700's and SSR's, so it's off to the quarter I go......

 

[SSSSE YA]

That is some great numbers ....;drive:

Wanted consistently hits 1.6's in his 60 foot time. If I ever hit a 1.8, it's time to bring out the marching band.

Yes on PS 1's, and I don't have DR.

Great time.

Hard to remember, but think I was around 2500 to 2800rpm. Slipped the clutch a very small amount while I fed in more throttle.

At that time just exhaust and filters, so I was very happy with the time!
Since then the Roe at 8 lbs with other supporting mods. Went to a Street Car Chaos on a rotten night for good times(high heat and humidity). The best I could do was 1.633 60ft, 7.16 at 99.13 mph at the 1/8, and 11.08 at 127.05 for the 1/4. This was on the Kumho's, leaving at 3000rpm's. Could have launched even higher, they hooked great. Waiting for a better night to get better times, I know there is more there!!
