almost 13's
 
I had a decent day at the strip last saturday,temps were cool,mtr ran strong,street tires were the limiting factor for hitting 13's. sixty foot times were best of 2.172 and worst 2.216 best 1/4 was 14.012 and worst of 14.065 in 4 back to back runs. trap speeds were best of 98.72mph and worst 98.37. the car ran 3 tenths quicker and 2-3 mph faster than the last time out in hot humid weather.

Should get that 60' time down. Ive got less than you and I run 13.5 @ 103 on pirelli tires. Try playing with your shift points.

Last time I went to run it was warm and humid. If I pick what you did, (going to Gateway Friday night) just by having cooler weather, Ill be at a 13.9 at 100 plus with my 01 auto. What elevation are you at there?

The Elevation Is 1200 Feet. 3 Factors That Make Me Slower Than You Matt Are #1 Convert (heavier) #2 I Weigh 280 Lbs My Self #3 Your Pirelli Tires Probably Bite More Than My Generic Hard Rubber Tires,even Though I Dropped Pressures Way Down.

You should be well into the 13's. :)

Pretty good times for a auto vert man!! You get some better tires, and you'll be in the 13's all day long, or let some little dude drive your car! :D

Get that 609 foot down. if you can just pull a 2.0, you will be about a 13.8.

whats up guys, i too have an auto, i'm at 240.14HP and 283.89TQ. Think my car would get in the 13's? I think I've waited to long to go the track this year.

im not sure about that statement. my has a auto vert with similar mods. he has 373's he never hit a 13. only 14.0, i have a auto and the fastest that went was a 13.4 before the blower. that was with goodyear gatorbacks dropped to 20 psi. keep working on it and you will get there.

I think 13's are possible depending on what gears you have. I have 3.90 gears. The coupe is lighter than mine,your probably lighter than my 275 lbs and you also have about 5 more horsepower

I ran 12.89 with the same power. You can go 13's.
