Drag racing my V-8 914 LS6, went out to break 12 seconds today and... Options

[wbergtho]

Well, My goal today was to crack the 12 sec barrier and I got damn close. I started out with a 12.33 @ 123.78 MPH and 17 runs later...all I could muster was a 12.10 @ 126.67 MPH. I hit 12.1's about ten times and noticed my average 60 foot time was 2.2 seconds. (not very good!) The zoomy trap speed of 126.67 MPH indicates that I can run a bit faster time ET if I could only get the tires to hook up a litter sooner! The weather today was 97 degrees and very humid. I did this on burned Michelin Pilot Sports and have no desire to set my car up to drag race. I suppose if I had some gummy Hoosiers with taller sidewalls on smaller diameter wheels...I'd hook better...(I have 993TT wheels 18" x 10" & 18" x 8") but hey...I had fun and didn't break anything. That's all that matters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif)

It would *almost* carry the front wheels through the 60ft. timers.

I semi know suspension. Set the front Koni's on full hard and set the rears on full soft. Disconnect front sway bar and leave the rear in place.

BFG Drag Radials. The only way to fly on the street!!

Short dry hop to clean them (no water..drive around it) and launch it!!

I bet your MPSC's did pretty well.
