11 second run
1/4 mile runs aside has anyone done any serious road racing with these cars. It would be interesting to see what our cars can do running Road Atlanta, Sebring etc.
The 1/4 mile numbers represented here are very respectable and kudos for all that are paving the way.

I am not for engine swaps (fast and furious honda crowd, lol) or nitrous myself but it is no different than any other mod aka power adder.

I have no problem with people using NOS at the track. Its not like you dont have a fast car without it. I just dont want to risk anything else by using myself.
And I see what you are trying to say about your 12.49 being a 12.2 your mph was very low and had you been able to keep your foot into it your time would have been faster. Just go back to the track and do it for real, who knows you may be faster then you think.

MD SRT6, I hope my comments on NOS does not rub you the wrong way. The last thing I want to do is discredit you or pi$$ you off, I do applaud you for stateing with & with out NOS in your signature.

To ansewer your question though, no sir I have not. My car has not even been to a track, I have very limited spare time and live in the middle of nowhere. I have tried this year two times, but both events were cancelled because of weather. The only thing I have to gauge what my car will do is a new model RR-G-tech meter.
Ok, I am getting old. I remember you were posting as you ran and I was at work.
Yes, your car is faster then 12.49. I am still working with Inmotion to get my new tune for my E85. I want a 12.2 without any pulley

My 7.811@87.98 in the 1/8 mile can back up that i was in fact on at least a 12.22 pass? No? Would you rather see in my sig a 12.494@82? Thats gay.

I hope to get in the 12's with my mods! I will leave the 11"s to you gentlemen! Great job! NOS or No NOS I love it......

Posting a time without a timeslip on dragtimes or even actually running that time is pretty bad. While your calculations might be spot on, you didn't actually run it. Posting anywhere that you did is really "gay". Go to the track and lay down that 12.2 for real or don't post it anywhere. Just my .02.

Not really, a pulley will work for you all the time..............nitrous is refillable power. I have never liked nitrous for that reason.

BUT it is a little aggravating when a bunch of you guys who really don't know much about modern drag racing and just know what you read on forums and gtech meters judge someone who has clearly ran the fastest time in a srt-6 with or without nos. And if you go to the dragstrip its mostly the american muscle cars with nos, and very few if any imports! And by the way, good luck with your car and I hope you get to go to the track soon!

If you don't count times with nitrous then you can't count times with drags, think about it. Who drives around the streets with drags all the time? They are both used to make better times at the track. While my personal goal is to run 11's without NOS, I do plan on adding it in the future (although a modest 35-50 shot just for fun).
