BTW what was that STI running? It looked like AWD was owning all at that track. LOL at the Ford GT. That thing looked like it was running 16s for sure.

Good times too. you in the 12's at a real track?

those STis were in the 12s....and yeah that ford GT driver wasnt doing so well....I wish I was in 12s....best so far is a 13.1 on drags....but mainly a consistant 13.8-13.5 on street tires....FWD owns me....

<puts hand on 209's shoulder>

It's alright buddy. Low 13's are still fast.


....Just not as fast as 12's

[209 SRT]

^^^lol the truth does hurt doesnt it....but my goal is to run mid 12s on street tires....when I hit that Ill pretty much be a happy camper....

[lamehonda]

Isn't that extremely difficult with FWD and street tires? You're gonna need an extremely sticky track with a little downhill start. Do you take the spoiler off just for racing? Is it that heavy?

[209 SRT]

it is...but if your pushing a decent amount of power with skill full driving then 12s should be possible.....in that vid was last years event which I was experimenting on a few visual mods....but I pretty much desided to sell all the visual stuff and go for that stock look....and no the spoiler is actually pretty light....

well from what i've seen is that since you can't traction E.T. you need to trap speed E.T. your trap speed is very good, but you would need to be atleast 110-112mph to get into the high 12's with just pure power and no grip off the line.

[209 SRT]

^^^^exactly where im headed.....should be 110mph-116mph....

[TatII]

Yup whenever i look at time slips, I never look at E.T. Trapspeed is what i'm interested in. E.T. just shows how good of a driver you are, but trapspeed is what determines the true speed of a car.

[209 SRT]

^^^close to what I say.....my saying is "E.Ts will show you drivers potential, but traps will show you the cars potential"...I guess great minds think alike lol.....

[lamehonda]

Well, I guess that means you will keep "trapping like a mofo"

[209 SRT]

in this case my car is better than me....and I cant drive her to its potential...

Well, some advice to you. Get to the track as frequently as you can, if you can't do that...work on your launches in the midlle of the night in a deserted industrial area (and don't tell me are none, because I was just there on the 10th of this month off of the French Camp exit and witnessed two GT 'stangs doing some runs,lol) Because, fact of the matter is...once you get that car to 300 fwhp on that stock turbo, you will have an 11 sec 1/4 capable vehicle. Just up to you to extract the best driver out of yourself :-)

[lamehonda]

Stop kicking yourself. Leave that up to us.

Actually your times aren't too bad. Based on what I saw in that vidy, you kept it together better than most on that track.
