Thread: Prove it, Damn

  1. #11
    I know what you mean. I think I will stick to road racing. Launching the car is just too costly. Although I had to defend the trophies just once to say I did it. After all is said and done. I don't think I have had this much fun with any other car I have ever had. Now back to the grind for an other year. Thanks for everyones support out there.

    What tyres are you running GT? Some KU36's, RE001's or any other semi-slick would be perfect for the track.
    What are you driving to be so slow with a high trap? First time I ever ran my car at the track I had a near identical ET and 8mph slower with my 3S. Getting my trap near to match yours took 1.4 seconds off my ET.

    Picture from the run itself!

    Mitsubishi Magna - different version of your Diamante, 3.5L DOHC with downpipe and custom tune.
    launched at 3000RPM and it bogged down HEAPS, was really a terrible start, pulled like a freight train after that though.

    well that explains it - you sir need traction! What was your 60' like? with that kind of trap 14.5 is if you're bored. You should be good for a high 13 easy.

    Just re-read my post and I did mis-lead you a bit. That picture was from my run but from the pre burnout before the run. From that skid I moved up a bit to the staging lights.

    My 60' was....umm.....can't find it :S
