Running in the 10's is not a fluke
Running in the 10's is not a fluke
I wonder the track last night, after making slight adjustments on the car, got in a couple of good runs.
First run I Thought was a little slow but my 60 foot was 1.633
Found , not enough fuel , so at the 8 mile, the car slowed down, only ran at 10.90@ 128
I made a 1 pound adjustment on the fuel, and in about 15 min. from my first run, I was ready
my IAT's were down to 63°, and after the burnout I had 66°.
This time I had a good burn out but my 60' went up to 1.66
but again my 1/8 mph was low it was only 102
after last week running a 10.85 at 128.79 now
I come right back down to the 10.8 well 10.87 @ 128.36
the next car on the track was a Mustang he would first,, second,, third,,And then back to first.loss control,, hit the right wall, and spun around, hit the left wall, and spun around again and hit the right wall again.
two hours after that I decided to leave they were still on cleanup.jim

Re: Running in the 10's is not a fluke
Amazing! It's hard for people I know, that aren't that into cars, to understand just how fast that is. I tell them that you would actually demolish my R6 in a straight line, and they're just like "oh, cool". I have to shake my head and walk away. It's a lot more than just cool, that is flippin crazy!!!

[QUOTE=TommyT;764195]Whats the race weight on your rig? same as yours, plus add 87lbs for the V8
so that gives you 3327 + my 220.grand total 3547
Curb Weight (estimated) Coupe: 3240 lbs.
Roadster: 3328 lbs.

Re: Running in the 10's is not a fluke
Jim. Did you go to some event at country line for Top Gear last week? My neighbor has a green/carbon all motor eg civic hatch.He said he ran a black v8 crossfire and kept up. It had to be you. There aren't too many black v8 crossfires around here. He said a girl raced your car though. Also, the car is quick but there is no way he kept up.

he came over and said they told him not to when, LOL I ask the producer, no one said don't win.,on the return trip a power steering hose blew on my car, so I was out, but, I am in some of the background shots.
This airs November 26.jim
