This figure was posted in another forum and this sounds very wierd. Is this possible?

I don't want to call :bs: on someone without asking around first.

That is possible, I would say on street tires and a shitty launch. Judge from the intelligence level of the poster whether he is bs'ing or not. :)

Could be a super heavy car maybe? My 95 GT with a built 306 and D-1 supercharger ran a 12.0 1/4 mile @ 124 mph and my 8th mile time for that run was a 8.0 @ 90mph but I was on Nitto drag radials and launched from idle.

I have a superheavy car that ran a 12.2 @ 114. That's the reason I asked in the first place.

He got pissed at me asking questions anyway. So I called him a shithead. ;-)

It all depends on the driver, tires, motor, gearing, weight, boost setup, etc. So many variables that no one can know for sure without seeing a timeslip.

Someone I know with a 408 whp FWD car, roughly 3,000lbs, stock differentials and drag radials:

2.2 60'

on a second run:

2.1 60'

I say it's possible but he could also very well be a shithead so you might both be right. ;-)

It's entirely possible. I've personally done worse on stock tires :lol1: The worst I've ever seen, in person no less, was a friend of mine who refused to put sticky tires on his single turbo Z06 for fear of breaking shit. He was running michelin pilot 315s I believe, and I videotaped him go 12.0@139 at Norwalk. Put on ET streets, and went 11.1 practically still spinning at the line. He has a TT Viper now as well...

Was it a Porsche?

Even w/ AWD some can't be launced hard...Actually they can, but may leave parts on the ground.

No, it's a Talon with a "bad stock clutch". I know because I was looking at the other thread where he claimed it.

Off - topic.

I was about to run you a new one about how much an idiot you are and that no one cares when I saw your avatar....... I thought you were the ****, wait, let's say "fella" w/ the altima w/ stickers and 20's...... then I seen your name.


topic - NOT possible with an awd car. Not saying the guys flat-out lying, maybe the track is messed up, but 12.1 @ 128 in an awd car is not possible.
