NA 4EAT vs. 6MT Tomstock V3/Kerrystock V1 This Sunday...
Finally KevinM and I will be at the same AtuoX. We've been trying to do this since Sept. Now its going to go down, lol. We'll see what gains the pearl has over a stocker. Even tho most of it is going to come down to the driver, in that case Kevin has more seat time than I do. Either way it should be a good Sunday. I'll be sure to post up pics and maybe a video.
I'm going to run in my "daily driver" trim. Potenza RE070s with a little bit more air in them. Back off the konis a bit to make her a little more tail happy. As for Kevin, as far as I know he's stock but was trying to get better tires.

Kerry,
Nice! So, can you follow this up with some 1/4 mile times? -Bill

I don't know about that... I dragged her once on an 1/8th mile track. It seemed like it was a little bit harder on parts than I wanted.

HAHAHA you have a sub 300hp engine strapped onto a 500hp driveline... Hard on parts???

Maybe he means the tranny is too hard on the poor little engine.
I imagine the only thing at risk in his case is the tires and maybe some motor mounts. |

he has good tires and trust me, he won't be putting much punishment on them like we do... His motor mounts are the same as we run, the group N's... His car is outfitted with the best parts money can buy right now so I can safely say that as long as you use the clutch properly, you won't have much to worry about

You make it sound like I spend all my time and money on my SVX...
The clutch is the weak point that I'm worried about when it comes to dragging. Maybe I'll give the 1/8th another shot when it gets cooler out here.

THe closest 1/4 mile track is Cali Speed Way and unless 8-10 of us (socaleuro) are going to be there I won't be willing to do the drive. Maybe later this winter/spring we can get something set up.

Tomorrow is the day. I talked to Kevin and he's running as stock as you can get, even right down to the street tires.
This event should be my last with stock seats and seat belts. I'll be running my usual set up with the fronts a little softer than daily driving. We're looking at mostly sunny skies and a high of 70 with low humidity. No matter what it's going to be a fun day!

It is currently raining! Hopefully the crappy weather continues through tomorrow where I will stand a better chance of beating my G-stock arch nemesis: the guy with the TDi Jetta.

actually, a softer suspension and street tires will prove to work better in the rain... Good luck
