Nice times....grab some drag radials and a few mods and low 13's should be calling your name

Remember to leave on the third amber [thumb]
I won't be modifying the car for the strip. I prefer the track. I'll spend that cash on R-compound tires, a Brembo front-kit, and some new rims to clear those big calipers.

Once I started leaving on the third amber (halfway through the night), my R/T dropped from 1.1 or so to around .6-.8.

My car is fitted with BFG KD's, EBC greens, H&R cup kit and a whole slew of sway/strut bars

Acceleration is acceleration and modding for more power, especially mid range will net you quicker times on both road courses and the strip......I prefer road racing over drag but in my particular area drag is all I can do right now....so I was the local import track champion running on my KD's....not exactly "strip" tires if ya know what I mean.

In my experience to be truly succesful at racing you have to push yourself and the cars limits.....racing is racing .....consistency, chassis prep and motor prep all go into a winning machine....the setup is all that really changes.

My FF SHOULDNT beat FR's MR's AWD's etc...but driving skills are weighed more than just being able to heel and toe......heads up [thumb]
