1/4 mile tonight. stock gt500 any pointers???

[VFORCEJOHN]

My first time too. I'm trying 3800 launching in sport mode.

Tracks down for a crash. Beautiful 8 second Mustang hit the wall Grabber Blue with white stripes. ;(

 

[VFORCEJOHN]

Wow. I dialed in 12.0. Broke out. 11.7@125

Check out that light!!

I'm impressed for bone stock on stock tires.

Now Time for some mods!!

 

[GOTSVT?]

Nice runs! Going up tomorrow, and it will be in the 40's
I still have yet to mess with any of the functions.
I guess I need to read the manual!
Where you able to avoid second gear lockout at high rpm shifts?

Awesome!

 

[Ghoust]

Wow. 11.75 at 125 is impressive for bone stock at 40 degrees. Good work!

 

[VFORCEJOHN]

Awesome!

Here's how it worked

Burn out 5-6 seconds until you hear a chirp no traction control
Sport mode
Launch 3800 rpm
26 psi tires
1/2 tank of gas.
Shift 6500 rpm

It went so straight and was so easy to shift. I was going to back out of it but all I wanted to see was 11.9

Only 1 practice run. 1 elimination run.

This car kicks ass.

 

[Ninjak]

Very nicely done. Great times on the crapyears. Also great times on a very cool night.

 

[svt662]

Great Run. Congrats!

The Proof is in the pudding ..
nice and thats a bone stock convertible?,so I would say in warmer weather or tire you can get mid to low 11's stock with tire only. or mid 11's in warmer weather. so a coupe is deff a mid to low 11 sec car bone stock and low low 11's high 10's on tires only good to know.

The car is bone stock with 400 miles on it. I listed how I set it up a few posts back. The mph tells me there's more with better 60 foot traction. I wonder how the tuner, cj65 tb, jlt127. 10 od pulley will be. 5 mph? I know tires can cut off another .2-.4. A 10.9 @130 would be impressive.


Here's my first run. [email protected].

There's my second run. I dialed in a 12.0 and ran the 11.7@125



Wish I had got a 3rd run. I lost in eliminations by running the 11.7. I had underestimated it!!

It drive so nice. A lot of people didn't think it was stock.

 

[Planeswalker]

Amazing runs for that temp on the GYs, congrats.

 

[BOSSPOWER]

Good job!

 

[Tezz500]

nooicce!

 

[Competition]

Tires tires tires. I went 11.4 @ 126 bone stock with a NT05R.

 

[Kel]

Wow, you sure hauled him in! Nice runs.

 

[battchief05]

Great times for bone stock. You'll be in the 10's With tires & bolt ons.

 

[paluka21]

Very impressive times for a stock heavy convertible. Even with the stock tires, if you have more seat time you can probably get the times down to the 11.5 range, with little doubt.
BTW, the woman filming and calling out the ET and MPH has been well coached up. :dancenana:

 

[biminiLX]

Very nice John.
