I cant wait to see some time slips from ppl with mods

I think it's possible that a full set of bolt-ons will put this car in the high 12's in the 1/4 mile. Full bolt-ons + tuning, almost definitely. I don't plan to drag race my car on a regular basis, but I'd like to run down to Houston Raceway Park and do a run just to see how it does. The primary reason I haven't done it yet, is I want to wait until all the mods are done and then just do it once.

One thing that sucks, from HRP's rules:

Quote:

A driveshaft loop is required on all cars running 13.99 (8.59) seconds and quicker, except vehicles running 13.00 and slower equipped with street tires.

So basically, if I do make it into the 12's, I won't be able to go back without installing a driveshaft loop, which honestly I really don't want to do since I'm not going to be dragracing this car in general.

Well, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your times! The mods on your car are pretty much what I intend to do on my Z (when I get one that is).

That HRP rule does suck... but I suppose you can take it easy for the first few runs and then on the last run of the day let it rip and break into the 12's and call it a day

don't laugh but the only rule over here in Montreal is that if your car runs faster than 12.99....you need a helmet......if not....just drive the car.
that's it

Well I had never been to HRP before, so I was just going off the rules posted on the website. Let's just say being there in person was a completely different experience, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if someone ran 12's with no helmet and faulty brakes there and got away with it.

I ran a 13.0 at 109 and got yelled at for no helmet. MPH is also a factor at HRP.
