Well I went up to the 1/4 mile for the first time on Friday...
I think I did reasonably well for having V700 Escta tires on... 12.60 @113/114 Anyways, I have heard of people disconnecting the front sway bar helps the car hook. Question is - does this still work on cars with independant rear suspension? Shocks - what settings would you recommend? soft? hard? Looking forward to getting some drag radials for next year (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE (35th_Anniversary_AS_Camaro_SS @ Oct 2 2005, 21:22) 60' was 2.0.... that's pretty good for your first time.. i've never had any experience driving a corvette, but i know that 1.9second 60' times were pretty easy to get in my old 2000 Z28(street tires)... and since corvettes are about 200-400lbs lighter than f-bodies, i bet you can squeeze out a 1.8second 60' time with your current setup i always found that when i had good 60' times, the rest of the ride was pretty boring... when you hook up nicely, your mph goes down :thumbdown:... i always wanted to go faster and didn't care much about how soon i got to the 1/4 mile mark |
