01 Finally in the 12's

[SnakeinMD]

Well, today I reached my goal for the season up at Cecil County Dragway in MD!!! I broke into the 12's! Only thing I did different was remove the front sway bar. This was with pretty much full weight in my 01. I am happy to have reached my goal for this season. I'll have to start getting her ready for next season over the winter. Here is my best run from today.

Thanks bud! Your car is easily there with those mods. Just drive the shit out of it! Get some drag radials, they make huge difference. BFG 275/40/17's fit on our stock rims. I have mine mounted on the stock 17x8's

How do those things do around corners?

I have no problems driving with the Drag Radials on an everyday basis. I think they are great all around in DRY weather.

I drive my 03 with bfg drags all the time. Great traction but stay out of heavy rain and they dont last long. Great job on the 12.9

Sorry i ment like, Do they do good around corners like say NT555 would? Say with 30-40psi. do the sidewall hold up when cornering hard like pushing the tire to its traction limit on a highway on/off ramp?

Thanks.

You will want to show a little caution taking a corner very hard with a 275 DR radial on an 8" rim. Since the tire isn't a wrinkle wall, it is pretty good, but you have to be aware of it. I have run them for years that way on the street and haven't had any issues. However, if I were to ever run an autocross or road race, I would step back down to a 255 on the 8" rim just to make myself feel better.


Oh yeah -- good job on getting into the 12's MD.

Actually, I just cut my springs. 1 coil fornt and 3/4 coil rear with no isolators. ride pretty good. hard over bumps and scrapes over speedbumps though! lol. But I like it. It is not my daily driver so no biggie for the harsh ride.
