MARK 99STS Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I went to the track yesterday. It was cold, about 40, but sunny. As did everyone else, I had a problem with traction. After a few attemts and lowering the tire pressure enough, I finnaly got a fair run. I still spun the front tires but was able to get a decent launch. I ran a 12.9 at 106 mph. 1.85, 60ft time and this was still spinning the tires, so I am very pleased. When it gets a little warmer, I may try again.

Fast95SLS Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Those numbers are impressive even with tire spin. Can't wait to see your results with good traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 yay, 12.9 sec in the quarter is a strong result. What a fun car. Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARK 99STS Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 14.1 down to 12.9 amazing. What kind of attention did you attract at the track with the turbo and time? I had about 15 people come over after my run to look at it and compliment me and there wasn't that big of a croed there. It was pretty neat.

BodybyFisher Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I thought so! How are you going to control tire spin? Does the strut get in the way when the tires enlarge on take off with low pressure?

You will shock the hell out of some Mustangs and Cameros on the street I am sure......lol. Congrats. My darn SC Mustang was running 12.9@120 when I left the Nitto street tires on (lots/lots of tire spin). If a Caddy would have stayed with me on the street, it would have shocked the hell out of me.
