whatsisname Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Decent amount of power, which is backed up by the 124MPH trap speed. All you need now is traction. I managed 120MPH with mid-high 200, hoping mid 300 will net around 128MPH, and somewhere in the 11sec bracket - love a 10 but not fussed.

whatsisname Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Andrew, I've got a brand new set of MT ET Street Radial 2, but not in the size most are running, mine are 265/40/18 (ordered them the instant I heard rumours AIR was ready to go) I've also got a set of Toyo R888 in the same size. I want to see what I can achieve on a non-traditional size wheel-tyre combo. Let's face it, I'm not going challenge any records using the usual set-up, so why not try something a bit different. Matty, ya smart arse! LOL It's my mechanical sympathy, not a lack of driving skill Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/5/#findComment-6411049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky30 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 never heard of that size matt. Im chasing a pair of drag radials in 16"(any brand) to try on my car, anyone know of any for sale? ive only raced on cheap street tyres, and they are less than ideal at the track.

SLED Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I agree, nothing more spectacular than a redline side step of the clutch in an R. I don't reckon anyone on here has the balls to do it to their GTR though.....other than Martin maybe Happy to be proved wrong though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/5/#findComment-6411603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madaz Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 if mine was an R it would have been done many many times but alas only the many many times part is true Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/5/#findComment-6411640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsisname Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Andrew (Blue32), I want to see you pull the fuse and then try to launch it off the line A driver of your calibre and AWD is a piece of piss, you need a challenge Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/5/#findComment-6411700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky30 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) redline sidestep would result in tyres fried, gota ease the clutch out with the correct revs. Edited June 22, 2012 by sky30 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401979-eoi-private-drag-day-at-adelaide-14-mile-july-1st-2012/page/5/#findComment-6411703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Donnon Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 hmmmmm................ Cmon Bartlett lets see what you got. Apparently Art is coming out to line you up in the pink terror. BTW you are going up on the wall of fame today at work No point in going out there with anything unless its full prep.

whatsisname Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Andrew (sky30), the ET Street Radial 2 is the same compound as the ET Street Radial 1 but they come in a different tread pattern and are designed for larger diameter rims. Here's a Cadillac CTS-V on 20" ET 2's doing 1.6sec 60ft - auto trans helps too. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/2009-cadillac-cts-v-performance-mods/250252-irwindale-results-mt-20-street-radial.html I agree with Martin, if there's no track prep, then don't even bother. I've got video footage of me attempting to run a pass on an unprepared AIR surface and you can hear the car spin from 1st through 4th gear.

whatsisname Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hey Darren, been a while mate! Is the 31 up and running? Auto trans clearly suits the low profile drag radial best. When it comes to drag racing, auto dominates manual period!
