like the title says what are you guys running that have a srt-6 in the 1/4 mile?

 

May not get much of a response, but I have seen a best of 12.9 @ 108-109 mph. Bone stock from someone here on the forum.

And have seen others run 13.2-13.5 @ 105-107 mph.

 

damn 12.9 thats really good. yeah as soon as i break the car in im taking it to the trake when i get it. i hope to do a 13.2 to a 13 flat sounds like i should be able to.

i ran 13.1@107 on the conti all seasons. i think with better tires and actually being able to come out of the whole hard and not lose traction then 12's would be easy. also this was done with 500-1,000 miles on the car. i had basically just got it. now its got a little more than 7,000. i'll see what i run this season.

 

are those conti all seasons the ones that are a option or are those the tires they come with normally. i thought that the srt6 get michelin pilot for a performance tire?

 

the conti all-season tires are an option on all crossfires...

the summer tires (pilots or contact 2s) are the standard non-optional tires.

 

ok good that means i got the pilots then. you think with those tires you would have run a 13 flat or maybe brake into the 12's?

 

which pilots would it be the ps2, a/s or just the normal sport?

 

i think with the extra traction of the summer tires it would have been enough to see 12.99 at least. it could just be wishful thinking but with a 107 mph it should be a high 12 second car. this year i might get some drag radials but i have to see what happens. yes the conti's are the optional tires. the one i got came with the conti's and the navi.

 

yeah i just got mine today and it came with the pilots, so as soon as i get like a 1,000 or 1,500 miles on it i'm taking it to the track.

 

yeah i took mine to the track and ran a best of a 13.31 at 107. i could have done better but it was like 100 outside and the track wasn't really hooking.

 

srt-6 at 18, must be nice...

 

Has anybody tried using the front tires on the rear yet? The smaller diameter tire would make the 3:27 gear feel more like you had a 3:50 rear end. Somewhere on the forum there was a chart showing the SRT-6 used 3:08 gears. If that's true, then the smaller front tire would essentially make it a 3:25. Either way, it should still make the car pull a little harder in the 1/4 mile.
I realize knocking more than an inch of tread off in the rear isn't going to do anything for the traction problems an SRT-6 already has, so this experiment would probably work out better on a limited. But it may still work for an SRT-6 too.
Also, I doubt if the rear tires will clear the front fenders, so you may have to ask one of your friends (who owns a Crossfire) if ya can use his front tires for the day. Just try to get a set of Pilots for best results.
In the never ending saga of searching for lower and lower ET's. This one trick may be a no cost method of knocking off a couple of tenths.
I know one guy who used to race Pontiacs back in the 60's professionally, and he would put his windshield wipers in a straight vertical position (then pull the wiper motor fuse) for less wind resistance. I thought it sounded kind of worthless, until I noticed some Trans Am race cars of the late 60's doing the very same thing.

 

yeah its nice. i have to pay for it all but its only a lease, i wouldn't buy it.

 

I went to a local 1/8 mile track with 2,400 miles on the car. The best I pulled was a less than stellar 8.98 @ 79.1 mph. Short times were all around 2.2 seconds.
I drove the car nearly an hour to get there and didn't give it any cool down time. That didn't help. I made 4 passes within 35 or 40 minutes and all the passes were within two tenths.
I had the ESP off and autostick in 1 but let it shift itself.

 

Also did 1/8 mile runs at SRT Track Experience event, fastest SRT6 time was 8.76. My fastest run was 8.84 (this is with power breaking).

 

Maybe mine isn't that far off the norm, but it sure looks like a 14.0 in the 1/4.
It's still 3/4 second off the 0-80 from road tests.

 

Check out dragtimes.com for other srt6 cars. Yours looks close to one that does the 1/4 at 13.4 @ 106 with your 1/8 mile time.
