First Time In The 12's

[Royal-T-Ltd]

FINALLY! This has been a long time coming. I finally went in the 12's last night [And It was hot n humid too] - 12.7 @ 106.55 to be exact. On pump gas [3/4 tank], Reds 93 chip, and 17" rims / Pirelli P7000 S/S street tires 275 40's. And to top it all of I beat out an LS1 Trans Am to boot. What a Night. Slayed some mustangs and vettes too. All in a 3700+lb Limited. Just wanted to share my joy. Now let me work on the 11's [street trim]

Congrats on becoming a member of the 12 sec club. You should be running solid mid 12s in cooler weather.

Congratulations.

Just what does street trim consist of?

Other than street tires and pump gas, and 93 chip.

Congrats. What was your 60' time with those 17" tires? That's a good ET for that mph. It looks like you must have hooked at the line.

IMO street trim is exactly how you would drive the car as a daily driver [ex. street tires, pump gas, street chip, full interior, spare tire, full tank of gas, speaker box, etc]



here's my numbers:

60' - 1.976
1/8 - 8.234 @ 86.89
1000' - 10.676
1/4 - 12.773 @ 106.55

I also ran at 107.04 mph

60' - 2.172
1/8 - 8.493@86.88
1000' - 10.936
1/4 - 13.028 @ 107.04

Me too

I also joined the 12 second club last friday evening, hot and humid aswell. I had a race chip with some gas, slicks and 17 psi to start out. Shes all stock, just a nice exhaust.

Never got traction after i went to 20 psi. Cayuga frikn sucks ontarians and western NY'ers know what im talkn about, and they wont let you change drivers either. Im pretty sure its a 12.7x car with some good boost.

12.96 @ 104, 17psi
8.24 8th
1.83 60'

Thats all I remember, the slip is at home with the car. 550 km away.

Pretty much just 1 good run, and that was the above. We will see what happens in october.

Oh ya, and this was 6 years com'n so dont feel bad.

Congrats on your 12sec run

How much boost and fuel pressure were you running to achieve this time with the Reds 93?

 

[tangofox]

Congrat's. I was hoping to join the club last night. but my best was a 13.03 @ 104. Car hooked great 1.7 @ 60 ft. I pulled the left front tire about 6 inches on the launch with BFG drags. But It just wasn't meant to be. Maybe next time. I too am aiming to run them in street trim on 94 octane.

Great job. Spankin the LS1's in granny's car.
Got any pics of your car? I love me some limiteds.

 

[salvageV6]

Let me rephrase the question.

What mods. do you have done to the car?

 

[87ttypeV8]

tangofox...
you pulled the tire up on a 13.xx run!??
great job...
however i didnt think that even a 12 somethin would pull the tire off

what suspension mods and tires are you runnin

i wanna be able to do this!!!

sounds like fun

Usually thats a sign that the suspension is too soft, although 6 inches isn't necessarily something to be concerned about. It's the guys who plant the rear bumper on the way to a 12.9 that need to fix their setup.

Congrats on the 12's dude!
