I'd like to know too please! The time in my sig is nice and easy off the line (like starting from a stop light). I KNOW this car is capable of mid-12's. But how do get it there without having to buy a new clutch and synchro's? :)

Guys!!! Did you not read 5.0 magazine??!! You guy's cars are high 11 second capable!! 5.0 got the 03 with just tires and a lightning pulley to run the 1/4 at 11.68. All you guys need to do is invest in some ET streets and launch at 4000rpms by pretty much dumping the clutch. You will get your 11's in no time!

A 4000rpm dump? Yea, I think I'll pass on that. :chicken: I think I'll let them just tell me what the car is capable of, and leave it at that. :)

Practice. Keep trying different things. Your track prep may not be as good as someone elses. Get some BFG DR's or Nitto's.
