04 GTO vs. 94 fwd svx

After making a much needed band adjustment my car will break the tires loose going to second on motor.The best on motor was still high 14s,my tires hook like crap at the track.I now have a zex wet along with my zex dry,its only a 125 still.This new GTO lines up and does a monster burnout and the crowd or his beer buddies goes nuts until this little EAGLE TALON is what they called my svx pulled the e brake and roasted the front tires.I stage first and he finally came up,he got the jump,I left the line at a very low 1500 rpm and still had wheelspin but at the top of first I engaged the 50 shot dry and the GTO was stopped at about a two car lead ,when I hit the 75 wet man I thought his car was broke,some people say it was about a three car gap on the big end.He has a pretty fast car to run a 13.8 at 103 stock my times are still lingering around 13.75 but my mph was at 109.My next step is to get the stage two software and use my 50 dry and when the 100wet comes in the software will do its job so I can really use the extra 150 hp.Do anyone know of some very good tires besides drag radials that won't blow my pockets out,my kumhos are in need of help my 60ft normally is 2.22-29 but my best only was a 2.38 which is real sorry.

yeah i know after his tires are heated up when he goesw they stick and my friend has this hagard beat up 93 240sx with stock rims but he upgraded the brakes to brembo and the catch is that he has a rb20 skyline engine in it that shoots a flame out of the exhaust after he pushes the clutch it. you cant tell it has anything done to it until he lets go of that gas and he greddy blow-off valve goes off

Awesome time Walter! That trap speed is simply amazing!!!

Keep stories like these coming!

-Chike

P.S. Wish I was out there putting down big numbers but unfortunately my trans is on the fritz. I also need to replace my front crank seal before going back to the track as well. I may not be back until June/July as I'm tied up with closing on my first home.

Chike, if you just bought a home, you may never be back!

Tim,

My wife and I haven't bought it yet, just have it under contract. It's a nice 3 bedroom on just over an acre of land. Getting ready for the closing in May is really keeping me busy as a result.

I'll always try and find the time for track days. I just need to get the 4.44 trans swap done and my front crank seal changed.

-Chike

Yeah, 109Mph!!!! Damn that quik!!!!

I plan on getting to the track in May, they are having kind of an HIN thing going on sounds like a good time (bikini contest) and I get to spank some 5.0s.

Later on in July is the all Subaru day, usually get in a ton of runs (got like 10 runs last time and wasn't even trying) plus prizes.

Damn quick is right!!!

With that trap speed, cars with a low Cd like the NSX or Corvette would run the 1/4 mile in mid to low 12's with a decent launch. SVT Lightnings with a barn door 0.45 Cd, would run a 1/4 in the upper 12's at that speed. Even fwd cars like the SRT-4 can clip upper 12's on street tires with a 109mph trap!

Btw, are you still running a stock suspension Walter? If not, you might want to look into stiffer sport srings front & rear which should lower the front by 1.5-2". This should reduce the amount of rearward lean in the car when you mash the throttle - keeping the front wheels planted.

Right, I said kind of a HIN thing as far as the party atmosphere, but it's open to Imports and Domestics. It's basicly a stop racing on the street grudge night. With chicks in bikinis.
