18's might look good but no sidewall for traction.. Tried and true is 15's if it can fit w brake rotors... Even 15" d/r can maybe hook up but I'd do at least et streets or qtp's... Et streets gave me over .4 sec in the 1/4. And that was w 17's. 12.3's m/t d/r to 11.85 116 mph w a lightning pulley e/t streets. Only way to get a 4k launch.. I did one good run on a decent track w 19 deg.timing. 2 runs total.. First one I botched it... Used to having spray, street and I had none.. Car weight w me was about 3870#...

Well a 2010 stock gt500 had something like yours but hands down I beat him in 60ft. Wasn't even close.. Not being a azz but just saying w et streets it was a different car... The gt500 ran a 12.18 best w bunch of tries. Good but could be more. Nice car you have btw.... You should be in 9's easy w that speed. Camaro friend went mid 9's w that speed this sunday, th400.

really? I was amazed at the prep for a street night. my first pass I had a 1.37 60' and went 10.05 @ 132.

got back in line around 730 and I was the 2nd car in lane 7. they took break! I go owell there goes the track! and watch, Ill go first. sure enough here they come and ok lane 7 get ready. so I was the first car in the left lane. friggin car cut a 1.38 and went 10.06 @ 133. I was pleased to say the least.

today was a WHOLE diff story.....terrible TERRIBLE prep today.
