U should have seen how my car was running just 2 weeks ago. Last year's 14.1 run would have been smashed with this trip. I just read symptoms of worn out plugs and it matches the way my car is running right now.

Bump the limiter to 7200 or 7500 and come out in Dec – I’m gonna get into 13s and you will hit 12s!

That's the same video I have unfortunately.

Damn... it was fun at the track yesterday, but man oh man am I disappointed on my run...

My best was 14.24x which I am not happy about at all. Oh well, there is always next time. haha

Vlad, it seems like its something fixable without breaking your bank.

Don't give up that easily unless you are trying to find an excuse to find a new car

That was the first run. It's the second run that we missed... and he did 13 flat. After that I just left.

I blame the weather and track condition.

I'm sure you would have nailed right into 12s if the track had better condition and the weather was dryer.

the one you video'd was right after the rain... we (me and you) were at the far end of the stands... it cant be this vid - there are still stands to the right in this vid - we were at the end, at the rail - remember?... am I crazy? Or senile?... I'm pretty sure I remember correctly... maybe not

but I'm pretty sure.

You were right about the GT500 vs GT though... so maybe I'm wrong about the video run?

This is more frustrating that not getting into 13s

I blame Wally and Henry for not showing

It's all their fault!

I was running 14.1 last time too (same as you), and I have twice the added hp & trq now...

Hopefully Dec will be better conditions.

^true, but last time u were in 2.1 60fts when u got 14.1. Did u have a 2.1 run this time? U were very close to 13s with 2.2x 60ft time and every 0.1 off of ur 60ft time = -0.2 off of ur ET.

If everything works for u such as 60ft and similar conditions like yesterday, ur car is good for a 13.8x run.
