and a G35
Well folks I was not able to break into the 12s but there’s always another time. Will try next time near my home http://www.bradentonmotorsports.com/
I had a hard time getting used to my new M/T slicks trying to find the sweet spot between tire air pressure and launching rpm. I also need to concentrate on smooth=fast shifting rather than speed shifting. However, the car ran great and like always no issues whatsoever.

Same if he didn't red light. You could do a better time, but since your reaction time is "slow" he can beat you across the finish line. That is what counts - the first to finish (assuming no DQ).
Cheers,
Hymee.

Hey guys. I'm going to be upgrading my suspension and I can't decide whick shocks to get. I'm looking at the Bilstein HDs(good price), Koni Sports(good rep on track), and the Tokico Ds(lots of adjustability). Any ideas??

Alot of people praise the Koni's
If you decide to coilover I personally like the Tiens(I have the Type Flex coilovers w/EDFC) which can be upgraded to include and EDFC Electronic Damping Force Controller, 16 way adjustabilty, and thier also rebuildable if a shick blows out which Ive never actually heard of happening....

juan knows what is killing him from getting into the 12's.
he is having to shift to many times and he cant do a hard take off.
drop rears to a 17" and a 24.5 height and put skinny's up front and do a 2nd gear lauch.
he will be a 12 sec car with just that.

it looks like 4th gear is really holding you back. At the 1/8 mile, you were at 83.xxx mph and th other guy (corvette?) was at 81mph. At the end of the quarter mile you were @ 105 and he was at 109mph...
put some 4.77 gears :D

smaller diameter tire guys would get his ratio lower--a 24.5 or so would almost get him to a 4.77 --allow 2nd gear launch and eliminate a shift---added "skinnys" up front(you wouldnt believe how much rolling resistance those big street tires are!) and the 2nd gear launch would also allow higher rear tire pressure (you need a LITTLE spin) which furthers reduce the rolling resistance.
Juan it did sound like a very controlled bust out--figured--something was up.

Good question!!! Well, lets base it off of the best time that I get this weekend since my car is still stock, except I scored a set of wheels and tires from Cam. Ill probly use the same tires after the blower install next time they autocross the kart track wich shouldnt be that far away. I think that will give a general idea.
