This was my best time of the day 14.26...

First time at the track... It was a blast! I just don't understand why our times at 5000 ft + altitude are so different than the ones posted here??

I ran with a 2013 GT500 with 650hp who ran a 13.97 and had a best time of 13.78 for the day?? WTF?

Thinner air makes for less power.

That being said, there's too many questions regarding that 650HP GT500. What tires? What was the 60' time? Trap speed? Even a crappily-driven 650HP car should be in the 12s, but there are plenty of shitty drivers out there. Also, he could have simply been lying about how much power it made. Lots of THOSE out there, as well...

If you look at the 1/4 mile calculators (for what they are worth), that would be 13.25 ish at sea level which isn't horrible.

Well I based it on the model "2013" GT500 came with actually 662hp from the factory and I do know his car was bone stock down to the tires. Great guy to talk to and a complete car nut at age 60 he is at the track every week working on his launch techniques.

H2O, That is promising... Can you tell me more about these 1/4 mile calculators?

Theres also an android app called "drag times" that can convert and also give you the DA and various other awesome info.

OK, makes more sense.

That car has way too much power. The stock tires don't have a prayer of supporting that. So that's problem number one. Secondly, is likely closer to high-500s to the wheels.

And finally, practice makes perfect, but he's wasting his time without getting proper tires. Just making a nice smokey show for the viewers. If he's as much a nut as you say, he probably knows this, so it doesn't matter lol.

congrats #24!

Ran up to capitol raceway and did 4 runs. Hit my best yet 12.841 at 108.7.

I love how sometimes i trap 110 but its always barely into 12s. Here's the slip and a link to the in-car run.

You did neglect to mention e85 your ruuning per your video and the supporting mofd for e85, injectors?

Looks like I need to take a ride down to Capitol and beat everyone's times now that 2 have passed me on the board if e85 still counts for the time leaderboard

What did a 10.5 next to you and was it streetable?
