That reminds me of something funny: a few weeks ago when I ran at LACR I talked to another Z owner who was running 15 seconds with 2.3 and 2.4 60' all night he was all stock on street tires and he told me that he usually runs 1.5 60's when it gets a bit colder...I looked at him said "no you're not...' and had to just laugh...
PS Raptor...you at least have a time slip to back it up so this is not against you in any way.

BTW Mrtomcat- what tires you using? Are they DR's.

I just received my BFG DR's to start practicing for IDRC since they won't let you run on slicks. It'll be interesting how that affects my 60's

Let me recap your previous thread.
-that is .2 better than your car cut on every other pass
-you weigh too much with not enough gear nor enough power to cut a 1.57 60'
-if you ever even come close to backing it up, let me know I will eat my words. but im not worried AT ALL
oh wait a unicorn just ran behind me with a smurf, elf, and santa clause riding it and they had a money tree in their hands. oh and the unicorn shat out skittles...maybe you did cut a 1.5

Gentlemen (and ladies if you are around...)
This thread was me posting my success on hitting my first 1.662 60' foot and it has become yet another flame fest between some completely unrelated parties.
can we please move on.
If raptor is the better driver I'm sure he'll hit another 1.5 if it was some fluke or just plain luck he still has a record of a 1.5 60' and that makes the Z community look good.
What ever the reason let's move on and unless you want to share my happiness for finally getting a consitend hang on how to launch my monster please move this to another thread.
Thanks guys

the only way to Cut consistent 60's is to log everything:
psi, launch rpm, and practice.
you are also going to need to make sure your susp is set up to react the same way to every launch
figure out what works and how you did it and it cuts down on guessing

2) if he wouldn't want to share than he/you have completely missed the point of a forum like this where we are trying to help each other get better at a FUN HOBBY.
2) and lastly: again please move this argument to a different thread
