Jbrown, driving these cars well is like a video game. I have everything down to a science and post run ritual. Tire pressure, burnout style, converter rpm launch, some other rituals. Whatever works.

Stock suspension.
L99 with slicks will go a long way without touching any suspension parts. Mine went into the 9's with the stock suspension.

+1. You might as well just post everything you did from when you woke up, what u ate for breakfast, what kind of truck you towed the car with, what brand of shoes you wore, etc lol.

Everyone is gonna slowly ask what you did to achieve this.

These rear ends won't break with slicks? I want to put drag radials on my car but I'm a M6 and I'm afraid if I launch with the launch control I'll snap that rear end.

You? You'll break it. Auto car is fine. I was bumping. 800 rwhp through the stock rear with no issue. Damn motor kept blowing up though!!

If you dead hook an m6 car with stock drivetrain parts shit will break.

My 11.45 run launched right above idle. 700ish. Burnout style: John Force!! Burnout standing still into 3rd gear then let off the break and floor it all the way thru the lights!! I wasn't playing. Lol.

Woke up that morning, took a piss, (right handed) I did a triple shake Bc I have a triple disc converter and wanted it to match. Also didnt want to carry any extra dribbles for weight savings. I ate a HOHO for breakfast, I drove my car 5 1/2 hours to the track, and I wear Otomix Power Trainer shoes size 10. (Bodybuilding shoes)

Hahahahaha, but seriously can you fit the rims/tires in the trunk/car somehow?

Been wondering this as the track closest to me is 2 hours away, and I cant tow it there.

Just barely off idle. Since I've had slicks I've only tried getting up on the converter once and it went .01 slower on 60ft. So I went back to idle.

Skinnies in the trunk and slicks in the back seat.
