daz27gt Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 well kinda, i run federal 595 RS-R's on my car all the time, which are a semi slick, but i wanna try them, try break into the 11'sand go as far as they will take me, and if i cant get it under a 12 flat, i will go to the MT et streets and see how much better they are, before going all out on a full race slickrealistically, i am not aiming for times as much, because i cant go to a local drag strip the nearest one is 400km away and its crap, so the next closest is almost 1000km away but it is a really well prepped track..... and besides drag racing doesnt really interest me in any way, im mainly going for the trap speeds, as the top end is what gives u the indication of a tough street carto be fair it's trap speeds that only interest me to,as it can tell you how much bhp a car has and ultimately which is the quicker car once on the move.My 5efte r5 is getting mapped a week on Friday so hopefully I can get to the first rwyb at York dragway and see what it does Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet666 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 on street tyres and with a trap speed of 118mph you will not do 11.5 i dont think 11s at all actualy. my 60ft on that 12.2 run at 119mph was 1.9 like on full slicks,and with street tires i would think youd be doing 2.1 2.2's at your best 60ftsmy best time is 11.5 at 123mph with 1.8 60ft!!! standard gearbox just with a diffone of the aussie guys had run into the 11's on street tyres, so i know it is possible.... i know mid 11's might be outta the question, but as i said, im REALLY just after trap speeds, drag racing does not interest me in the slightest seeing as though i set my car up for touge and mountain runs and open tracks, therefore i really have to change the setup to make it work well at the drags, my ultimate goal though, is to run an 11 in the car, when im ready to do so Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrisK Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 my best on street tyres was 3.1. although i have a much lower spec that you guys hahaand it was my first time doing a 1/4 mile/motorsport, and there was no tyre warming Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starlet666 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 normal road tyres, like an everyday tire that is made to last 40 000kms is better grip when cold (well, warm but not burnout warm) and if the track has been VHT prepped for slicks forget about racing because VHT compound is terrible on street tyres.... its weird how a compound made to get slicks better traction makes road tyres worse...as for your question about a glanza, i wouldnt know, we dont have glanza's in australia BUT a 3.1 60 foot time is terrible lol, what u need to try and do is give it a bunch of revs, and as u feed it more throttle leaving the line, slip the clutch out slowly, so it makes boost when the clutch is still not on full bite, it usually helps get people of the line better, its like launch control except not using retarded timing and stuff.... and u would wanna have a good clutch, it will destroy a standard clutch easy doing thati use that method to get off the line even with launch control, but 300bhp is a bit hard to control wheelspin in first no matter how u launch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
