Ya 4x4's are going to have a big advantage. Should be a fun time though. Get lots of pics and vids

 

I went to gateway one night with 245/50-16 Riken Raptor street tires...I accidentally launched in 2nd gear and this is what happened

1.59 60' 11.19 @ 122 mph.

Preveous runs were

1.69 60' 11.33 @ 122
1.64 60' 11.22 @122

Sad thing is I went back the next week with MT et streets and went

1.51 60' 10.89 @ 124 mph launching in 1st...

 

Hmmm well that doesnt make me feel good at having a chance at this thing lol. I figured the best street tire guys would cut is 1.8s+

 

I had my truck at the track last night..it has street tires on it and my best 60' was a 1.92

four passes, kinda inconsistent with wheel hop

2.00, 1.92, 2.099, and 1.92. it would spin and get wheel hop if I didn't do a big burnout

Have you tried launching in 2nd gear? it works for my Camaro.

I have been to the track alot and one other car I have seen went 11.55..others usually get low 12's.


Not saying people haven't gone faster, its just not that common

 

Both my camaro and my truck were at 25 psi ...

 

We had a street tire event like that this year too, my buddy had a 1000rwhp camaro and he went wide open just before crossing the 1/4 mile line and the tires went up is smoke lol. but he did get a 10.8 at 142.

 

I ran my 11.6@115.9 on bfg radial ta. I was in 4wd but spun all 4 way past the 60' marker. My best 60' was 1.60, but not on that run.

 

This is on my stock all season 245/70/17 Hankook's in 4x4. I had to leave @2500RPM and half throttle until 2nd gear. 6.0L, Isky 212, T78 14psi. I think I could get a 10.30 if I had a little better street tire.
