Loose rule of thumb is to add 4.0-4.2 seconds to the 1/8th ET... And since Anthony doesn't have the heat soak issues I do, he should easily come near that. My fastest 1/8th is 7.9 @ 89mph... this was on the same run in my sig

I'm conservatively guessing Anthony will pull an 11.6 @ 117 when we run at Bowling Green in a few weeks.

This chart isn't exact, but it's fairly close. It's right on the money for your 7.9 - 12.3 run.

1/8th to 1/4 Conversion Table.

If you ran a 11.7 that would be pretty awesome. You got one hell of a beast there.

Today I put my black roadster into winter storage.
Detailed car completely.
Full tank of gas with Stabil
Put on a battery maintainer (not trickle charger).
Blocked up the windshield wipers off the windshield.
Put 40lbs of air in tires.
Placed tennis ***** in the exhaust pipes.
Bounce fabric softener sheets throughout the interior and trunk.
And finally, covered car
Sleep well little Princess .....LOL

I"m so glad I don't need to put MINE up for the winter ! I'd just hate that, but then, you probably get more out of that first drive in the spring than I do ANY time I drive mine.

Cool chart, but is definately dependant on traction. If low traction for 1/8th but hooks up on top end? My uncles's AWD Laser runs 6.7 1/8th but I think the 1/4 would be in the high 9's from the way it pulls. It has trouble getting going, even with AWD. 2.0 L 4 banger on 25lbs boost running just over 500hp. It is a fun little ride for sure. Good luck!

I cursed at it because it just decided out of the blue to no longer start and it looks like I have to attack the SKREEM module

Well you may not have a way to work.. but at least you've still got a sense of humor!..

On the bright side.. once you've completed this.. other members might invite you over out of the blue for a couple beers and tinker on their cars.. LOL.

Sorry for the delay in answering ... been away from computer for a while..... I use the fabric sheets to keep the interior smelling "fresh" AND more importantly have been told that mice resent the odor and go elsewhere. I don't know if its true or not, but the car smells great in spring.

Installed my 74mm Throttle body today; yes with a new o ring too. Went in really fast and easy with no issues. After doing the throttle reset, took it out for a drive. Runs great, but I am sure it will get even better after I do a retune with Eurocharged. Next order of business is magnacor wires and new plugs. I am also hoping for a good black friday sale this year on at Discount so I can get new Hankooks.

1) Reset system so the Key Fob will unlock both doors and the trunk with one push of the unlock button.

2) Reset the FSS system . . . finally got rid of the little wrench showing on start up.
