sleeper3...next time u go to moroso let me know. i'll drive up. i get my new head on in less than a month....8500+ rpm redline with a gt35r makes for a fun time

[Laloosh]

yea i made my run on 215 55 16 snow tires. For all you people that think its a cheater drag radial...lol try it first. Its worse, the only reason i do it is because i dont get any wheel hop.

I'm down whenever. I want to see if I can take another tenth off my 60' time, so I'll go up there eventually, but if you want to go, I'll definitely be game. I like going up as soon as they open and leaving early. the waiting thing drives me crazy a little bit.

well it is wider than stock, larger side wall, and softer (I think?) seems like you'd get better traction to me... especially with that 60' time you pulled. didn't seem to hurt you any at all.

ive pulled the same 60 foot time on the stockers. My 60s arnt the problem, 2nd gear is the problem, once i light up 2nd i just gota ride it out, if i short shift to 3rd i spin through 3rd.

you can pull a 2.0 60' on stock rubber? my hat's off to you.

I'm hoping for a 2.1 next time I go.

anyway, all I am saying is that your snow tires didn't seem to hurt in any way. I don't know where you got this "drag radial" thing from. no one made mention of that at all.

[Laloosh]

I went 13.6 with a 2.0 60 with an intake/gutted second cat on the stock wheels/tires

proof of me launcing

and the slips to match the car number.


Many people say winter tires are like cheater drag radials. I feel that 99 percent of the people never actually tried it for themselves. Are winter tires stickier? Hell no. Do they prevent wheel hop, yes. The less hop the better the launch. It doesnt have to be winter tires, it could be any spongy tire.

[sleeper3]

dude calm down.

all I am saying (and you really can't disagree) is that the winter tires didn't really hurt your run.

if you think you can do a better run with the stockers, do it, and prove me wrong.

[sleeper3]

and how the hell did I run a 13.5 with a higher trap. I need to work on my launch wtf.

[Laloosh]

im not getting defensive, im just stating my opinion the whole winter tire thing. As for you running a 13.5 at a higher trap...your 60 was slower. Lower ure 60 toa 2.1 and ure running 13.4. I went 13.4 @ 105-106 with a 2.1. I believe the car had i/tbe/17psi at that point.

[sleeper3]

yeah I was thinking the exact same numbers... maybe possibly a 13.3 if I get lucky. not too bad for an intake and an intercooler...

[jhershorin]

sleeper3 you down to go to moroso with me in a few weeks once i put my built head on?

[sleeper3]

sure I'm always down. try and give me some advanced notice so I don't have a full tank of gas!
