  • Drag times on 155/70/12s!!!

    So I'm at the track with some friends of mine last saturday, and they won't stop hounding me to make some passes with the DINKY stock donuts on the car. Finally, I had to give in, and I made about four passes on 10lbs of boost. Best time of the night, 14.611 @ 104.2mph :lol: Judging by the 2.5 second 60' and big trap speeds, I'd be inclined to say traction was an issue


    Thought I'd share. See ya.
    Why no, officer. I don't know how fast I was going. My speedometer only goes up to 85...

      The 104 MPH is only 13 sec range with traction.

        Mid 13s, which I think is pretty good on only 10psi, but maybe it's just me.

        And Packrat, the previous owner was trapping 125+ with the DRs and 25psi.

            I had a friend of mine who roasted a set of doughnuts on his Cavi... We went to the junkyard just to buy doughnuts for that reason alone.

            The smoke show was great, but I remember his car smelled of burnt rubber for days.

              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
