LPE 427TT , my first track time
I did my first track test (real track not street) last weekend
and mangaged:
60 1.667
1/8 ET 6.679
1/8 trap 108,7
1/4 ET 10.405
1/4 trap 138
Track was 1800 feet elevation
CCW drag pkg. and coil over setup, and i was very happy with my 60 foot :-)
I was also quite pleased with 1/8 mile time, but was expecting a lower ET on
1/4 mile ?
How does it look ?

drool, drool, drool! (we need a drool emoticon)
My God, that has to be one wild ride. You should get a video of the burnout and run and post it, I would love to see it!
That 60' is incredible, what tires are you using?
I think the LPE427TT that was tested out did like a 9.38 et, but that was probably with at least drag radials, if not slicks, not sure.
Are you hitting the traps in 3rd or 4th? Give us all the details. :hurray:

SIMPLY INCREDIBLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
The car with better altitude is a 9 second street driven TURBOED GODZILLA all day long.
Two major questions:
1. Is your car an A4 and if yes, are you running the built ROSSLER TRANNY?
2. Was this accomplished with et streets and the bias ply skinnines that CCW is famous for selling with their drag rims?
Thanks and i am GREEN WITH ENVY!

The TT run of around 9.7xxx I believe in Road n Track was on street tires.
But yes, the et streets are DOT legal street tires.

YEAH, cheater slick streets tires-ET STREETS! If i am not mistaken there is NO WAY the car would run in the 9s without at least et streets with there soft drag racing rubber compound.
But yes, the et streets are DOT legal street tires.

No doubt that is one hella ride, the car would probably take fight after the 1/4 mile if it had wings :eek: ... I belive there is a guy on this forum that also ran a 10.4 or so 1/4 mile with a NA C4 LT1 ..I belive he calls the car Hoover..
