SOFTEN THE REAR COILOVERS. Stiffen the front.
Good tyres yes.
Wing off yes.
Just for posterity I am down 1.70 60fts on road tyres at road pressures. I can go faster and the car has recorded 1.4 60fts before on the slicks

Jay do you ever compare your times with this lot?

Like setting a 10 on road tyres. I could move over to slicks and do it easily, much the same as I could do a meth map, I could engage my flat foot shifting, launch control, etc etc. Or I could take it as it is upto Shakespeare and do a 10 quite easily with the superior grip....

This is a good one, now I know my cars accurate 0-60

My cars has the same 0-60mph as a Supercharged Koenigsegg CCR 4.7 V8. Blimey!
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI R205 Spec C manages 3.7 - I should have bought that!

I'd have a good look at binning/reversing the bonnet scoop as well. They're fine on a rally stage but they're appalling aerodynamically and you really want to be minimising drag.

My car is running 15 degrees hotter with a reverse scoop.
Here's what it would look like if you got wheel spin Matt

I was just working on the basis that didn't need saying as it's kinda obvious. To be honest top mounts really aren't a good set up for drag racing, far too many drawbacks for my liking.

It didn't smoke when I did my 12.6 either :/
Not sure clutch slipping sounds like rubber spinning on tarmac either, thought it was virtually silent.

That was only one wheel losing traction. And gear change tyre squealing means you aren't granny shifting....
Honestly look at your launch.
I get you Neil, however I think everything needs spelling out lol. I will be removing the reverse scoop from mine.
I definitely agree about needing a fmic if seriously interested in drag racing.

Not to mention his car is probably lighter now than mine was, and it has more bhp/lb-ft than mine.
Straight race, I know who'd be losing.

Couldn't believe it when I got my ticket and it read 12.45, I mean I know I wanted to beat your time but talk about by a cat's whisker.
