Default Got me a 12 finally.........

Went to the track today,and it wasnt as cold as I wanted but,what the hay.Actually,theres always a guy there that carries around one of those air density meter things and we were racing at 1900 feet today,so things werent as good as I wanted.Anyway,the GSC's arent the tire to drag on,and 2nd gear is still pretty useless(spin,spin,spin)but I wanted to do a 12 on street tires just the way I drive it.Heres the results.
2.1675..............13.0694..........110 .18
2.0601..............13.0511..........109 .30
2.1180..............13.0622..........109 .48
2.0688..............12.9058..........109 .89
2.1379..............13.1995..........108 .80 hotlap

So there I did it.Headers are going on this winter sometime,along with corsa exhaust system.I believe that will do me some better numbers(besides sticky tires)

Very nice under those conditions.

If you could get some passes with the headers, at 0 feet elevation and could hook up you might just break into the 11s!
