Default Re: went to the track today with the srt-6

Slicks will help your ET allot if you need traction like the srt6 does but it will not affect your MPH or trap speed much. That is just a fact.

Eracer76 even made some examples.

The high MPH usually comes from lack of traction at the starting line.
Most cars I've seen run, including my previous SRT-4 had higher mph when the 60 ft wasn't good.
Whenever I did get it to hook up better at the line, the mph went down and so did the 1/4 time.

An example...
My modded SRT-4 ran 12.7 @ 118 mph w/bad 2.2 60 ft times on street tires,
with practice I got it to run 12.5 @ 116 mph w/ 2.0 60 ft times.
My buddies 71' Roadrunner runs 12.2 @ 110 mph w/1.7 60 ft times on drag radials.

So my question is for ichon how did you get the 113 MPH, that is just too fast for a stock car.
