What kind of times do the turbo guys run. Or is this a big secert (becuase I have seen many people ask, but never been told).
Stage 1.5 cars are easily into the 12s with very little work on street tires with traps in the 114-118 range.
Jeff when he had 440rwhp ran 11.90@115 on slicks.
I ran 12.7@117 on street tires last summer on 10psi and pump gas on a 90 degree day. (I have videos of this on my site).
A very well setup Stage 1.5 car with proper traction and a good clutch could peel off high 11s at around 120.
(another tip--- pull the passenger side headlight if you have an aftermarket intake) You'll force more air into the intake, and gain a few mph.

Man, your way up there. I grew up in northeeastern illinois, chicagoland - never went to great lakes though. Next time I go to my parents I want to run up there.

Bean, dunno 'bout that, i've had real mild 13 and 14 sec cars that were early on in the buildup process, that had no problem with 2.0 short times, and not on a slick.

On lexus Sc400/SC300 auto, if you can press the gas paddle at the same time the 3rd yellow ligth come on, your reaction time should be +-.034(red light sometime or the best reaction time of the day).

Henry did too.
We've established that different tracks time reaction differently. At my local short track .500 is perfect. At others .000 is perfect. Just the way it is. I didn't know that last year.

this was one of my first posts... lol. This was my 3rd day ever driving a manual anything.
My car should be high 12 I am hoping for in a couple weeks.
The way the light is setup at the track I go to, a .0 is the best light. it isn't a .5 tree.
