member of 12 sec club on the very first run with new car

[the ambush]

wow, now i 'm a true believer of the Terminator.

bone stock with even the stock pressure in the 4 tires, (but w/out spare and jack)
with a great great gran'daddy launch (2000rpm smooth launch w/out a spin) and quick shifts (no power ship yet),
i clicked a 12.84 @ 113 and backed it up with a
12.72 @ 114.
both launches were ok for stock radials: 2.16 @60'

i pretty excited to think that i will start modding a 12sec car

now i need to get rid of wheel hop , does anyone have tips?

damn that MPH is REALLY good. you are well on your way. intake and exhaust then go and pulley that thing!! the wheels hop is never really cured just subdued alot. try diff ushings ummm springs, shock/struts, some upgraded halfshafts and a diff brace. OR swap in a solid rear. congrats and good luck!

Before you break the bank on mods you may or may not need to stop wheel hop. Try a set of BFG drag radials @ 15psi. (see sig) I pull consistant 1.7, 1.8's with no hop.
