1/4 time

[GeorgeC]

I live on long Island so occasionally I go out to Calverton to the old Grumman airport and do a 1/4 mile run on the old runways. Best for me was 12.8 @ 115 well the other day I did 12.3 at 117 I picked up a .5 on my 60 ft time although my 0 to 60 time was still 4.5 what gives. Anyway I'm happy as hell dropping .5 from my 1/4 time. It's a significant improvement.

Assuming no additional mods the DA can make that amount of difference.

Density Altitude.

Same Nitto tires? What other performance mods?

Traded the nittos for conti extreme contact other than that everything is the same

117 ? Any wheelspin with that ?

I've got the Conti Extreme Sport 2 and though I can say they are a good tire, I can also say they definitely do not grab and go like the Nitto rii.

I had nitto nt05 I find the Conti Extreme hook better but maybe my driving has improved and that's why I find the Conti's to be better. Looking at the Nitto you would think they would be better off the line a lot less tread a lot more slick surface. U think having a bad ass Looking tire would be faster lol

Stock GT500. Didn't heat up the tires. If they let us take off the gurney and wickers, it probably would've been a few ticks better.

A little then it hooked right up. So minimum wheel spin.

With a tune and a sticky tire, you’re gonna see some low 11’s yourself.

Your are really optimistic. I get excited just thinking of low 11's I think you would also need headers and a E85 tune for low 11's

I’m not so sure that E85 and headers are necessary, but would definitely be good to have for max effort.

My car is a manual and it put down 469 rwhp/434 rwtq on the dyno with E85, LTHs, x-pipe, and PMAS CAI. Here are my time slips from a few 1/4 mile hits before clutch issues surfaced.
