Re: 12 seconds flat....? (MC TORCH RED)
Forget about traction on runflats with the gears and TC. Get a pair of front C5 wheels and run 275-40-17 drag radials. It's a great setup you can drive to the track on, pull 1.6-1.7 60-foots and drive home with. You will not believe the difference in traction!

Re: 12 seconds flat....? (MC TORCH RED)
Roll bar required at 11.99...That 12 second time slip was exceptional if done on street tires, adding gear and TC may make it even harder to duplicate w/o drag tires. I have 3.15 and can spin well into second gear. I will be out to HRP in the next couple of weeks, usually go on Friday nights with Madman and my son-in-law who has a pro-street 69 Camaro. Sometimes on Fridays they are lax on the roll bar rules if you barely break into the 11s. But they are very strict on the really fast cars. The first time Madman broke 150mph was in Louisiana and the following Monday HRP notified him not to bring the car without a parachute. Maybe I'll see you out there...
