Just curious what's the fastest you've seen a car go on the stock Pirellis. I have personally, with my own eyes, seen my friend '08 GT go 11.7@117 with a 1.79 60ft. I couldn't believe it. All passes that night were between 12.03 and 11.7 and 60ft's in the 1.7-1.9 range. The car is stock except for a Saleen s/c at 10-11lbs, GT500 fuel pumps, off-road x-pipe, and mufflers. It has the stock clutch and stock TR3650. It made 440hp and the wheels with a JDM tune. Timing is in the 17* range as read on the xCal3. Air temps were in the mid 60's. No ice was used on the s/c that night. Has anyone else seen anythng like this? Again, this was on bone stock Pirellis with 32psi in them.

Forgot to say also that this is with 100% bone stock suspension. No control arms or anything.

My cousin ran 12.39 all motor with basicly full bolt ons and cams. (killing the tires in the burnout box works for him)

Depends on the track prep aswell

I would say track prep was outstanding that night. But, it seems to be that way everytime I go there. It's the new all concrete 1/4 mile in Crandall, TX.

I know there is a guy on here, I think Rick from Livernois(could be wrong), that run's his s/c car on street tires and gets in the 10s.

He is running drag radials (in the first link anyway, my phone won't open the second one for some reason).

that sounds scarry as hell to me. I ran mine on 20's once last year because under my old setup with the stock converter the car came out soft then built boost later and took off! on the street that was great never had a problem but when i tried it at the track once the turbo spooled the rear end went up in smoke and the ass of my car pointed me at the left wall, then i drove through it and looked straight at the right wall, then the left again until i finally ended in the other guys lane un touched. I almost had to wipe after that run....

Nice job. I've had my other car go sideways on me during a highway pull in 3rd. Hit a small bump and unloaded the rear. Hung it out just long enough to get my foot out of it. I drove it nice the rest of the night.

It's my car he is referring to. I'm hoping to better my 60ft by a 10th or so. I'd like to see 11.50's on the stock tires.
