Yep, unless you understand the limitations or benefits from it, comparing times and dynos are a waste of time. Or spraying, that neutralizes DA to a point. Your car could be just as modded as MD's or mine but if your track DA sucks no matter what you do (besides spraying) it will never be as quick.

That's why I'm predicting that a few this spring with negative da with get 11.6's or even 11.5's with Import's setup or just even with my setup.

Now comparing the fastest times in your state or track is an apples to apples comparison. It will be a fun spring. Get those tires ready, drag times is going to have alot more 11 second srt6's.

The fastest srt6 roadster title will be all yours to keep, not sure many coupes will challenging you. Way to go, and get around tech too.

 

Lol I know how DA affects track times that cars run. I just feel that a lot of times it is dwelled on way more than it should be. Yeah if it is one extreme or the other it does make a nice difference but there are so many other factors to consider as well.

 

Yes the driver factor is always there regardless of DA. If you suck there is no DA going to save you. It sure will make the MPH look great on the top end.

 

Got my new $120 Voxx wheels and MT tires the other day and I test fitted the wheels a few minutes ago. They fit great and clear the brake calipers! A bonus is they look similar enough to my regular wheels that most people would not notice unless they took a good look.

Went from around 30lbs wheels to 18.4lbs (according to my digital bathroom scale) wheels with these.

I am going to go get the tires mounted in a hour or so

Also, i have a brand new set of Gorilla lug bolts (good ones, not cheapo ebay lugs) for a Mercedes or Crossfire/srt6 if anyone wants to buy them, 1.10" long (threads). The lugs they sold me with my Petrol Octane wheels were short enough to work with my drag radial setup so I do not need these. They were never used, $25 shipped.

Now to get them on the car and head to the track!

 

I finally got around to bolting them up to the car, they fit great.

Weight on digital bathroom scale:
275/35/19 tires on 19x9.5 wheels=56.8lbs
255/50/16 tires on 16x7 wheels=48.2lbs

8.6lb reduction per wheel

 

Thanks photoman! I just ordered my Voxx's today. My ET Streets have been sitting in my dining room all lonely and waiting for the track to open the weekend after next.

 

did you get the same voxx with 20 offset? if so it looks like you will need wheel spacers. i got some clicking with mine just now.

 

I have the same voxx but in the 17 x 8 20 offset with shorter lugs with no issues, I bet the lugs are too long on yours.

 

Can we get this thread stickied?

 

what length are your lugs? the threads on mine are only .93" which is the shortest you can get from what i can tell.

 

photoman, I gave this to you in the other thread too. My Voxx MG 17.x8 and Gorilla lug bolts with .850" of threads.

 

That is definately shorter lugs than mine, the ones I have are.93" of threads. Where did you find them at, I even looked on the gorilla site and could only find lug bolt locks in that size. Do you have a part number?

Thanks

 

Got my lugs at Discount tire...not sure of the size, but I bet they are like Mikes~

 

Aw, crap. I was hoping that the ones I bought from you would be short enough. Evidently not.

Anyone need a set of Gorilla lug bolts?

 

I got my lug bolts at AmericaTires when I got the wheels. The threw in the wacky tool needed too. I will see if I can find the part number for them.
