Elusive 11's!!!!!!!

[StealBlueSHO]

The torque converter upgrades actually LOST tenths, so that road led to nowhere.  No idea if anyone has done the ZIP kit on the 6F55, and thus if it made any difference.

clubsfit was last tuned by BCB, ran 100 octane gas at the track to get to the 11's.  Really do not know if a daily driver, other than bpd's, can really hit that power time after time and still carry on.

Brian, would be great to see your SHO a hair's width from the 11's!  Make sure you change plugs & fluids a few days before

Clubsfit run was an E mix with 100 octane and was BCB tuned. I asked him specifically if that was a streetable tune and he stated he has a different tune for street use. He also removed the spare tire and passenger seat to sneak under the 12 second mark.  He also sold that car damn near the next the day... which also seemed suspicious to me...

Removing s*** does not count in my book... I could hit 11's from my 12.4 if I take my interior out....wtf..

Eh, people do it all the time at the track... to be perfectly honest, if I am running 12.0 to 12.1 I would probably do the same thing. And Clubsfit didn’t hide the fact that he did some weight reduction. His Dragtimes picture was his car with the seat and stuff sitting next to it lol.

I don’t begrudge him that at all.

True! But it wasn't until someone pointed out that his seat was missing IIRC. Z

11's, check... now what?

10s of course.

 

[FearlessAZ]

Pretty crazy that it was only on 100 octane, DPs, 170 tstat, lowering springs and a lightened interior.

 

[f8tlSHO]

It's just not a fair comparison to 99% of the people that are on here. I think it's cool that he did it, but doesn't deserve all the praise for hitting 11's

LOL,  You have the same sentiment i do .. I race with everything in the car,  including the childseats, floor mats etc.    I like to know and show what the car does in Daily Driver mode versus b-spec gutted.

if i had chucked everything out of my car last Friday i imagine 12.5x would have been possible instead of 12.6x .. but i like floormats,  and tires, and seats  :asshat:

That being said , next spring will be a fun-run. I will drop in 97-octane (and updated tune) to go with the pure meth and drop the tire, jacks, rugs and car seat in my quest for a 'printed' 12.3 .. (new goal).

My buddy John(91hybird) did it also on stock suspension too.  He had to play with the throttle some too during the run, but was all the car had.  Still wish Mike and Jacob could come to the east coast tracks, MIR, Capitol, Cecil, Island, Atco.  We could really see what there cars can do.  Yes Mikes is getting up there in mileage, so that will just have to wait till a new trans is in, that is on the back burner for now.  Todd's car with the new BC coilovers,( better Megans ), has a real good shot at going into the low 11's. 

Yeah it would be cool, but not worth beating up the car.  Low 12's for us is awesome.  I mean for basically for bolt on stuff and for what we all have done, is just amazing.  Seriously I have always dreamed of having a car this fast and also being able to take trips and in real comfort.  We got the best of both worlds. 

So we all should be proud!!!

With some of the recent tunes only cars going 12.4s I would think 11.9 with meth and down pipes is pretty obtainable.  Hell Yaklin almost did it with just downpipes, I bet he could have done it with more attempts.

 

[hawkeye93]

With my E30/meth tune, which I regularly use as a DD, I can run consistent 12.2s, with a car seat in back and wheelspin off the line.  I purposely leave the car seat in when I race, because it's fun to point it out at the track, a family sedan with a car seat running low 12's.  I'm also using Firestone A/S tires (hey, I live in Minnesota). 

I don't doubt that with better tires, low DA, good track prep and launch, I could break into the high 11's.  I actually think I'm spraying too much meth right now, looking at my STFTs.  I may dial it down a bit, see if that helps.  I will be back at the track in October, so fingers crossed.

It would also help if my fat ass lost some weight, but that's more difficult than the other mods.

DP are the key to serious times.  Getting better/faster spool right at launch is pretty key to 1.7x and 1.6x 60ft's..  if you can get a sub 1.7 60ft you are going to gain a TON on the ET.

 

[bpd1151]

I am unaware of ANY ONE, in this platform, who has yet (to date) achieved a sub 1.70 60'.

And money for a new PTU and or trans afterwards...

Mary, Rich's wife did in FreakSHO,  actually racing my wife 2 years ago at Milan.

 

[Blackhawk]

My last trip out with 3bar, drop in K&N,  SW catback and a second rev E30 unleashed tun the car went 12.640@112.5 with a 1.855 60ft on worn all seasons.  Hopefully with lowering springs and summer tires I can knock a couple tenths off.

Excellent BAM_SHO.

Totally unaware that was achieved. Very impressive on Mary's part.

I actually met Rich @ Milan during LMS CAD event that year.
He was quite busy teaching her how to nail those 60' Times which was cool. Z

Definitely not me.  1.86 is my best on a timeslip

Im surprised that with your power level you're not hitting less than 1.8

 

[bpd1151]

Lots of 1.70's.

But keep in mind, I have never once ran my 617awhp file.

The 525awhp file has been put to the test though, I can tell you that.
