Not going to make it most likely.  Didn't bring helmet or long sleeves to go for passenger rides either.

 

Did a skid taking a turn between jobs instead to tide me over.

Yep

 

Cotton is recommended though in case of fire.  Polyester = napalm

Well, had a good night, as such.... Came home in one piece, as did the car. Best of the night was again my first run (of 6, all before 9pm/burnouts)

 

Traction control on, performance auto, no burnout, full street trim

the total runs...

Still cant beat 2 second 60' time. the second one (12.491, 5th run for the night) felt like the best. Felt like a low 12... but alas, no.

 

So yeah... mods helped (previous best of 12.7) but I think if I knew how to drive it could do more

Why no burnout and t/c on? 

I gotta give it a crack or two before I eventually get my tune. I just think it will feel weird driving with a helmet lol like all tunnel vision driving :P

Are utes slower than sedans? Cause no IRS? Grats on new PB though :spoton:

Sorry I couldn't make it down there.  We should swap cars and take them down the 1/4 and see what happens, your ute should be plenty faster than 12.5.

 

Just noticed they don't list mph on the slip anymore?  Converting it you are at about 115mph which is where I was most recently when I got the low 12's (though 5mph down on back in 2010 when I got 11.9).

 

Cracking the 2 second 60 was not something I managed to do until going back years later.  Not sure what I did differently...still didn't get a great 60 footer anyway, think my best was 1.9.  Here's my slip to compare.  Seems to just be in the 60 footer I think?

Congrats on not breaking anything!  Enjoy the evening out?

You need to turn tc off and use manual mode

Get drag radials as well, I borrowed Phils nt05r and they hook pretty well. Feels like a different car when it launches with those tyres on

Then it's pretty much just a case of finding the right balance on the launch and once you're out of the hole you can just keep it floored and the tyres won't slip

I hit 11.8 with em and only 315rwkw I reckon you could beat that cos you got more top end power

it was good fun, along with the fact I went with a mate again (same guy, 400HP Stato), I managed to beat him this time. he had a 12.6 last time, but couldnt beat that this time (12.7).

Dont want to run ET's or semis or lower my pressures, want to get the best time possible in street trim. Even still, I think it has more in it. would love to see a good drag racer drive it to see what it could do.
