Default Finally got to the track..

Went to mir sunday to see what the car would do. I was only able to make one run at 3:00 p.m. and i waited an hour for that. It went 13.5 at 104 with a 1.9 sixty ft on stock 285 gsc runflats. I left at 2000 rpms let the stall pull the car then gave wot. I think i can do a better time in cooler air. Also my sixty foot can be better because the car for some reason fell flat in the sixty. Which I think was because I was on reserve fuel. Mods super yank 3500,3.73 rear, 1.6 rr,160 stat,muff elm,hpp3,transgo shift kit.

Pretty respectable 60' time with the stock GS-Cs.

Yeah you can always try again with more fuel. I usually actually get my best times with a full tank of gas. More weight over / behind the wheels for better traction and there is no chance that you'll be sucking air.

I know if I launch my car on reserve it'll go about 3 feet and then fall flat on it's face as it sloshes the gas away from the fuel pump.
