View Full Version : I can finally say I have a 8 second street car!
I went to a street car shootout this weekend where you have to drive your car 88 miles to the track and you have three hours to turn in your fastest time slip. I was only able to get in two passes, the first pass it hooked good but blew the tires off at the 60 ft. The second pass I made some changes to the suspension, tire pressure, and elongated the boost curve to get it down the track, To my surprise it went 8.9 @154 on 15lbs of boost and only launching on 4lbs. I know it has a lot more in it! Although it was only good enough to place third, I got beat up by a couple LS cars lol.
