So i went to the track the other nigth with a buddy of mines car and took a few runs... 2002 trans am ws6 automatic with shift kit slp long tubes/exhaust no cats... i was expecting to run 12's but we ended up with a 13.3 @ 106... Traction really didnt seem to be that big of a problem the car was hookin up well and launchin quick but he raced an 02 trans am convertible that only had drag radials and that guy smoked him in the quarter... Was wonderin why it was so much slower with less mods in a lighter car... would drag radials really drop his times that much?

 

You leave out the most important detail, what were the 60' times?

 

yeah 106 mph can definitely be in the 12s

need traction.

 

ditto...with a 106mph it could be a 12 second pass.

 

sorry... his first pass was a 13.4 @ 105.7 60' 2.001
second pass was a 13.312 @ 106.3 60' 2.115
and the last pass was a 13.314 @ 106.4 60' 2.125

 

ya with 2.0-2.1 60ft is not to good. if you can cut a 1.8 you'll see that 12

 

yeah, i can almost taste the 12s, im running 13.18@106 but i was only cutting 1.9 60fts on street tires though...
