1.60's 60's is getting it done in your car. The best I've seen an M6 car 60' was Ted's 9.82 Vortech car with Teddy jr driving, He was mid 1.5's just totally beating the snot out of the car.
None taken.
Tell me about it.
8 runs.
MPH was different on each run.
I am spinning big time in 3rd and 4th going threw the trap
Back of the car is all over the place.
I will figure out how to post the videos we took. I couldnt be any easier on it in first gear. Hell, Im granny shifting the freaking thing. Lol.
Im certain, when I get to MIR or Capitol raceway in the next couple weeks and I will have a much better ET. In the past, I have run .5-1. faster at those tracks.
The track that I have the 1.600 is an 1/8 mile track.
Im looking to pick up MPH on a nicer track.

The one thing that you have going against you now is the heat and humidity so your gains won't be as great as they will be in Oct.

Any chance you logged your runs? That will show exactly where you are spinning.

How do you know your 60' time before you make the full pass ?

Like the dope above me said, certain tracks show it. I was at Atco when I was able to see the 60' right after it happens.

I answered the gentleman already. No need for your affirmation. He already accepted my answer. But If it makes you feels any better, You fool.

I don't have time to look at anything but the lane ahead of me.

Here's a 1.51 60ft running a manual trans and slicks. The trick with a manual is not shocking the tires off the line.

Before you give me a hard time about the et, I was working on the 60ft, not full passes - I granny shifted through the quarter.

So what did you run overall? I'm guessing from your comments you were in Urbana, so I know you'll go faster with a change in location. I still want to know what your beast ran, though. I can't believe you got in 8 passes, even if I'm there when they start I still only get 5. I was thinking about Mason-Dixon this Friday...

Oh man, that's sweet! It's got to be really tricky with the M6 too, whats it like doing a burnout at 100+ mph on the 3-4 shift?
