13.3 - 13.5ish
1/4 mile times with slip
- Thread starter MS3077
- Start date
13.3 - 13.5ish
with that list of mods, I think the only respectable times are in the 12's. Just my opinion.

Every .1 in 60' translates to .15-.20 at the big end. Quite a few people have hit 2.0-2.1 on stock tires. So, getting the 60' just to something respectable on street tires would yield a 0.6-0.8 improvement at the stripe.
I personally think anything that traps over 106 should be able to get into the 12s on a tire. I need to come off the dime and get a set of sticky shoes for mine.

Most cars I've seen that trap under 110 are in the low 13's unless they're using slicks/ drag radial or AWD (IE, 1.7 60ft or better) He isn't going to be in the 12's with his current mods and street tires. To think otherwise is rediculous.

Yeah, sorry if I use too much slang. "On a tire" means with a set of sticky drag tires.
If people can pull off 2.0-2.1 60' times on stock rubber, then Aaron's car should go lower 13s easily on stock rubber given that his 60' on a 13.7 pass was a 2.4.
Aaron, I didn't mean to be insulting. Was trying to be encouraging. Sorry.

Borrowed some drag radials and drove 100 miles to the track last night to get a few passes in before the end of the year.
Got to the track about 5:15, made my first pass about 5:40. The time shown on the slip is off a bit. First pass was a 13.3x, right where I hoped and expected to be. Second and third passes, hot laps, are shown here:
After a couple of oil-downs, we sat forever and I didn't put enough heat in the tires, spun a bit out of the hole, ran a 13.5x. Sat forever again, only running one lane due to one of the earlier oil-downs, really put some heat in the tires, got a 1.83 60' and missed the 1-2 shift. 13.3x...
I have a MSCAI, TurboXS BOV, and dogbone motor mount on the car. I do not believe the BOV makes any difference but haven't tested it back and forth yet to verify that. So, my next trip to the track (which won't be until April
), I'll remove it.
I'm practically certain I can put a MS3, with just a CAI, MM, and on decent tires, into the 12s.
Oh, by the way, a buddy of mine here who bought his MS3 after driving mine put a CAI on it last week. He went to the track and was running 104.x-106.x mph last night, too, with a best I believe of 13.88@106.8 on the stock tires. The key, we both believe, is that your right foot must not leave the floor after you launch.

EDIT: FMOS got any vids of these runs? That'd be awesome. I guess not all of us can be great drivers My next mod Practice then radials LOL great runs. I know my friend with his EVO is in disbelief too.

Sorry about the format...
FMOS Racing - 1.858, 8.415@84.07, 13.080@107.55, (I, MM, DR), 750' ASL.
I just checked the tape and unfortunately the only pass of mine that's on it (since it's my DVC) is the 13.55. I made the really good passes right off the street with the camera rattling around in the center console. I gave my buddy the camera after that long cool down because I *KNEW* I was going to have a great time on that pass. But I don't know those tires well enough and didn't put enough heat in them given how cold the track had gotten by then.
However, if there's skepticism about the times, I can get that video loaded up, show the matching time slip, and you can clearly see the "117" on the side window of the car. I think I'll do that anyway and put it on my Youtube.

What brand/size drag radials? Also, how did you launch with them? I've been thinking about the nitto 555r 245/50/16. Thanks.
