11 second cars

This is for guys that that have been in the 11's on the engine, what's the spread in the summer heat? It's been so hot around most of the country, so natrually they slow down, but how much do your et's suffer in the summer?

Re: 11 second cars

My car varies from 12.10s to 11.40s and 111 to 118MPH depending on the weather and track. That's short shifting the car at 5400 RPM. I can pick up more than a tenth with higher shift points. I can run on a 11.98 dial any time of the year.

Re: 11 second cars

Density Altitude has more impact than any other mod I ever did to the car(s).

Re: 11 second cars

I've seen about a 2-3 tenths difference between sping/fall and mid summer.
