Wow, today Rob (Needwings), his fiance Liz, Apkano and I went to Milan Dragway's tune and test day.
I witnessed Rob run a couple of 11.9 sec 1/4 mile @ 120 MPH
As for Apkano and I, it was more like a Sunday drive on the expressway
My best:
14.9@96MPH
+.0250 reaction time...60 ft: 2.2 sec
Had fun with some great company and can't wait to do it again

Pics in my racing gallery,

Hey FP, we need you to come out and play with us...the track is open until mid November...

 

LOL......yup had a great time! You did great today....especially that .0250 reaction time!
I'm planning to go back in November when we really have some cold weather!

My best for the day:

2.1641.....60 ft.
6.2030.....330 ft.
9.4741.....1/8 ET
75.22.......1/8 MPH
12.2920....1000' ET
86.53.......1000' MPH
14.6761....1/4 ET
96.14.......1/4 MPH

Not too shabby for the 'ol 6 speed.

I'm pretty sure Rob took the record for top speed in the quarter for a SRT6, and was a tenth or two off the ET record.

 

it was great seeing both of you guys again, sorry i didnt get a chance to go quicker for ya guys but there is always next time, we have another month before the tracks close

congrats to both of you as you both also beat your best times

also we only got 119 and change, no 120's yet.

 

only hundredths of a second behind MD, maybe the six won't get returned to stock so soon.

 

Great work guys, I wish I lived close to xfire owners like yourselves! Maybe next time the Army moves me

 

You guys are awesome, seriously. The srt6 may be the greatest sleeper ever made, and that is not an exageration in the least.

 

aren't you tired of that "3" thing yet??? That wish list should say SRT not LSD....LOL

 

what did you do to launch the car? Did you ease into it or just dump the clutch?

 

I was still playing around a bit......I could do better.

That run was about 4800RPM and slip the clutch so as to not bog down the engine. It's somewhat abusive on the clutch.....but I HAD to run down MI1XFIRE!!!!

Dumping the clutch will bog the motor and you'll lose about 3 tenths.

 

Thanks. That's what I thought too, but I don't have any numbers to back up my theory. DAMN TRACTION CONTROL!!

 

I pass down the strip with the traction control off.

It spins second a little bit, but it's still faster than the recovery time it takes the car when it feels the need to "intervene".

 

did the videos you took that day come out?

 

Very impressive guys! Rob needs to hook up better to lower those et's. 119 traps should do it for sure. I'll be heading to the track this Sunday to see if I can better my 12.1 @114 with the few mods I currently have. It should be about 10 degrees cooler than my last race, so we'll see...

 

Not that great.

I really should have run up into the stands to get a few good ones.
