'JETT' runs 10's

[vspecv]

mmm NSW rocks with a true street car running 10's aswell, great to see

true street cars , dont race with slicks!

[wreckedhead]

street/touring slicks are ok i think, next time will be full soft compound slicks.

[Merli]

But for how long??? I think Merli is on a mission!!!!!!

Now how much of a nitrous shot were you going to put in Merli???

Not big enough I fear

How can I compete with a T78 w/ Nitrous?? I'll be running at about 150-200hp deficit, and if wreckedhead can "only" manage a 10.8 @ 126mph, I stand NO CHANCE in breaking into the 10s

[BU5TER]

Aren't street cars allowed to run semi-slicks now?? I thought the car ran the time on semi's, out of interest what size and type of tyre were they as the 60ft is nothing less then amazing??

[DoughBoy]

Hey Andrew, look at his MPH. Nitrous will give you a quicker time, it's mainly off the line where it counts. But MPH is going to be more turbo based considering the small amounts of nitrous used.....Brett was doing 128MPH turbo only!~ chop chop

why was brett mph higher.....top run by the way wreckhead!!!! :headspin: :headspin: compared to what leewah ran and his extent of mods that was a super effort!!!! :headspin: :headspin:

[2rismo]

3rd gear was missed remember.

3rd gear was missed remember.

Adrian

in the gtr????

[DoughBoy]

Yeah, was that on wrecked's run or Brett's? I missed 3rd gear on my 12.09/124 run, so not sure what you're implying.

hey buster i had some 18in x 10s wheels fitted on the back, with falken super touring hard compound slicks on the back only, they were super hard as we couldnt warm them up while doing a burn out as most people that were there with me noticed, it was still spinning like crazy off the line, but i dont care street car or non street car im going to get soe soft compoun bf goodrich slicks and go again, i wish with the soft slicks we/i can beat 10.8

[wreckedhead]

i think 2rismo mght be implying that on my/out 10.8 run in JEtt the driver missed 3rd gear hence the low MPH, thats why i wanna get the video cassette so people car hear the gear miss and still a 10.8 pass

[INASNT]

If you go full slicks then you are gonna have to go alot quicker than 10.8 to get in that top 10.

So your 10.8 was not on full nitto or similiar tyres? If not then you wont get into the HPI top 10

hey inasnt it doesnt bother me if im on HPI top 10, im doing this for myself

[INASNT]

Yeah i know just asking the question tho.

Thats amazing, we should see a lot lower 60ft and et then with the sticky goodrich tyres, it will ge great to see

I think you'll find if your talking about the BF Goodrich Drag Radials that they're fine for all street tyre records as they are a radial tyre

[2rismo]

Yes. What he said. It was a POSSIBLE reason as to the relatively low mph.

Adrian

[wreckedhead]

i hope the bf goodrich drag radials are beter then the tyres i had for the lst run, i was shocked and ripped off on those slicks, i hope we get to se the video soon, so i can hear the 3rd gear miss, im just wondering what the time wouldhave been with a clean gear change and beter tyres, hmmmmmmmmmm

[Leewah]

wreckedhead,

Congrats on the 10.8 mate. A great achievement. I don't think there are many people out there who understand how difficult it is to get into the 10s.

Keep up the good work and hope to see you in the 9s soon. I'm still working to get there

[wreckedhead]

thanks Leewah, congrats to you, you own the quickest gtr here.

I only hope to to catch your time one day, as for the getting into the 9s, im not sure if thats an option as getting into the 10s is hard enough.

Dude, as I said those circuit slicks aren't going to do the job you want!

BFG DRs or drag slicks will however, and it's well documented what size DRs and what size drag slicks work on a GTR.

Remember the BFG gForce DRs in 17"/18" aren't what you want. You want the 15" BFG Comp TAs with nice big fat sidewalls (50/60/65 profile).
