Re: Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday
They were $213 a piece through Jeg's. I got mine through a local distributor, though, to save me some money on shipping.
Let's see how these work tomorrow before you plunk down some money lol |

Re: Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday
I'm also running the same MT DRs for strip use. They hook up great when heated up with a good burn-out and the pressure down around 16-17 psi. With your 4.30 gears you should see some decent 60ft times, 1.85-1.90 sec launching at 3k if the track is hooking.

Re: Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday
Another update...Although the forecast doesn't call for rain today, the sky looks very cloudy and it is extremely windy. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the track does open up. I got a new sticker made up for my Nova so it would be a shame to not take the cars out there tonight:
 Yea, I know...I'm a pig (that's why I'm divorced!). I will keep everyone posted.

Re: Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday
I'm alittle slow sometimes:
Fat chicks in a drag car = slower ETA's. A Fat Chick riding you is not optimal either. It should say Busty Athletic women ride for free no ? |

Re: Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday
Update: made my first pass in the vette. Horrible burnout. 8.35 @ 88 mph with a 2.14 sixty foot.
Gonna make another pass. BRB. |

Re: Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday
Ok headed home. Great night. The Nova ran a 6.7@102. The Z also ran incredibly!!! It went 7.95 @ 89.7mph! The sixty foot was a 1.83. Perhaps the most amazing thing of all was that my Z did a baby wheelie :-) After a big smokie burnout, and a 4500rpm launch, the driver side tire lifted off about 2 inches from the ground! Yes I have this recorded on video as well and I will post it later this evening!
