Oh, I certainly think she did it......you go girl!

When I first broke 14 @101mph way back in 3/2010 in my heavy LLT- 2LT W/sunroof, overweight driver and no vehicle weight reduction on street tires with shorties, Injen and lousy 60', I was never questioned.

OK, I had some nice Jersey air. lol

And as far as timeslips go, DandD's slip for his 14.24 pass, the mph was messed up. Does that count as "witchcraft", does his time not count? Or how about trw427ss pass when he made number one on the V8 bolt-on list? Was some "witchcraft" there too? Because he and I were both at State Capitol on the same day (Nov 24); he made his 11.52 pass and I made my 13.95 pass. Guess some witchcraft was involved. And as far as 38psi and BFGs not hooking, State Capitol is prepped so well unlike those northern tracks you go to, and my tires did NOT spin. Another thing, I did some research on this thread and noticed that every time you were unable to achieve some goal you had, you always blamed the track. So I guess that it's the track's fault I was able to accomplish what you so much wanted to do, and I did it even better.


Funny you mention this one.

I was there with my friend Dan when he took his wife's stock Camaro down the track. We discussed the time slip and posting it countless times. He has a few others to back this one up to show the time he ran and MPH. but this one happened to be the best one. The MPH was fubar at the big end. It happens once in a while at Lapeer. Even to the point that once in a while there will be no slip or time what so ever. Now that is always a bummer.

I believe your time. Good Luck next season, can't wait to hear what else you can do in the 1/4 mile.

I just hope you consider to keep going. It'd be great to see what you could do with some bolt ons and lighter wheels.

I'm definitely gonna keep going. Drag racing is my life. As far as mods go, my dad and I discussed doing a tune and a cold air.

If you don't mind a recommendation, I'd recommend a CAI cold air intake and a custom dyno tune by a tuner of your choice.

Another recommendation is maybe swapping the current wheels you have with some 1LT wheels. The 18" 1LT wheels will work with your current tires, so you can keep the cost down, and they are the lightest stock wheel available. It's what I did on mine and boy did it make a difference. The LS wheels are anchors.

The 2LS (mine) has 19 city and 30 highway. The 2LS offers the best gas mileage of them all.

That's the cold air my dad and I were looking at. We haven't talked about swapping the wheels. But I'll keep it in mind.

Stock LFX = 323 HP

Stock LFX/A6 = 323*0.80 = 258.4 RWHP

Difference of 6.8 RWHP.

Don't you think a negative 1000 DA could erase that 6.8 RWHP? Add to that lower weight (you had a RS which definitely weighs more than a 2LS) and you probably weigh more than her. We don't know how much gas you had either. Spinning also results on higher trap speeds than a dead hook. Finally, lower numerical gears produce lower 60's (with traction), but they often result in higher trap speeds. Given MotorTrend had a trap speed of 99.2 MPH on their SGM M6, don't you think 100.77 in a lighter car with that DA and gear seems quite reasonable?
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/specs.html

At one time you thougt your home-made CAI would get you to 13.9. Everyone told you you would need to drop weight and get a fantastic DA to have a chance for a 13.9. She's running a lower race weight than most of us with great DA and she is a better driver than most of us. Everyone supported you when you expected to run 13.9 and still gave you kudos when you didn't get it but ran a 14.3 bone stock. Go back and read some of that and think about it.

I guess I'm not 100% sure how the 2.9 gears effect the 1/4 times. Do they actually hurt it or may they offer some advantages? I was under the impression they would certainly turn out slower times.
And damn man had I had a proper intake I would have had that 13.9 run because that 14.3 was on a slow track, it correct to a 14.1 at 97.

"Calls your track garbage, blames you when you call track garbage."

Our tracks are garb garb though, we only have three choices, englishtown, island, and atco. Englishtown is always packed and you have to wait hours in between runs. Then your lane's line is so long your car gets heat soaked as you inch forward for almost 15 minutes. Island is a slow track so you'll never get the time you really deserve and ATCO has an unavoidable water box so its very easy to track water onto your back wheels at the line.

Racergirl I will sell you 4 1LTs painted black with tires for $125 + shipping.

So are we really saying here, that this car with full bolt ons, tune, lighter rims + drag radials and maybe a weight reduction...may crack 12s? And may destroy the fast list?

I never called your track garbage. I just said mine was prepped better. I know that guys who run at Atco and Englishtown run good times. And as far as that deal goes, is that legit? My dad and I would be interested in buying the tires and wheels. The 6 speed auto has a 4.07 to 1 first gear because of that, the 2.92 gear does not hurt the acceleration as bad as you think. Thanks for the tip for a cold air.

Its legit they are just sitting in my backyard. They are cheap because I painted them with home depot paint. Its not awful looking but they should probably be sanded down and re painted. I was happy with them but I have to point that out.


Comes with 2 blizakks 235-50 and 2 pilot super sports, a pretty good summer tire, 245-50. So they are shorter than stock.
The rims weigh 23 lbs each, the cheap price is due to the paint and un orthodox tire sizes.
