Just won my first victory on my first trip to GIR this summer thought everyone would get a kick out of it. Scroll down the the sport tuner category and there is a nice write up and pictures at the bottom.

5/4/2010 Gateway-SCSS Street Car Shootout RESULTS! - Corvette Forum

 

Nice win ,good to see car is back to performing well.

 

That"s great and nice write up ,way to represent. They even called it a Mopar

 

Nice job

What were the requirements to be eligible for the "Sport Tuner" as opposed to the "Street Car Shootout" ?

 

Street cars are anything RWD with 8 or more cylinders, sport tuner is everything else basically. And everyone has to run on D.O.T. tires

 

Is this the sportsman's class...they just put me into that with both cars...no one has said a word about the 'vert yet....lol


Anyway, nice win....nice write up...

 

What tyres were you running ProjectMayhem? you must have hooked up pretty well because you got a great time!

 

Had some brand new Hankook(sp?) evo12s. Was using Nitto NT555. The evos only had 200 miles on them and were cutting 1.76-1.83 60's. Identical to the Nitto's.

I'm already regretting getting these hankooks. Altho they are cheaper and perform slightly better in the wet. The NT555's gave equal traction in the dry much quieter ride, and didn't track near as bad on uneven surfaces. Haven't tested cornering or snow and probably wont I despise the steering racks in these cars and quit doing corners.

Was stalling at approx 1300-1500 rpms. on launches. anything over 1500 and it would spin off the line and yield 1.9x+ 60fts.

 

Wow 1.7 60 foots with street tyres is very impressive, I have exactly the same dilemma with trying to launch at anything over 1,500rpms, I just get wheel spin.

What pressure do you put your tyres down? I'm assuming a burnout of 3 - 4 seconds?

I've been to a few drags now but still can't master the launch

 

I had the Evo's at 22-25 psi at the track.

 

Congrats on the victory. Sorry I hadn't seen the post before today.
