MDTURBO Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 look at the squat... weight transfer has a play in that too Yep, my lgt sqwats like my ls1 whenever I get on it. It's nuts. Tires are Kumho's with about 530 miles on them. The thing is before the clutch, I was never able to spin off the line, 6k slip-drop. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing.

KTM 525 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 FWIW, I smoked the heck out of the LF tire on a run after they laid down a fresh coat of VHT. FWIW fresh coat of VHT = stay away. Let a couple guys make some passes on it before you. Fresh coat will result in less traction it needs a couple of runs over it. Another tip you want to get inline behind a nice big tire slick car. He'll lay a nice strip of fresh rubber for ya! Some tracks make street tire and slick tire cars run seperate lanes tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some tracks make street tire and slick tire cars run seperate lanes tho'. You don't always have the choice. Most times they pul out the spray as you are staging. FWIW, I mostly always run Test-N-Tune days,so the track workers don't get shot when they put it down before someone's run. You want to run after a wide-slick car if you want traction. Not an issue for me. In my former FWD days, we wanted some wheelspin for a good 60', so we would avoid a recent slicks-burnout path. As with anything else....it's all in what you want.

Does this mean if Tronix dont catch a ration of shit for removing weight items from the car this is now "fair game". I remember reading some guys here hootin and hollerin about removing the jack and spare nevermind interior parts. If this is good by everyone then let the games begin!!

MDTURBO Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I was considering stripping all the sound deadening material... lol... too much effort... in the ls1 world seats are fair game!!! why not! I probably wont go that far with mine but no doubt that passenger seat weights a good amount. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

zildjiank Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I would venture to say if you could reach those good numbers w/o all that removing, then you are the man... If indeed you need remove, well then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I think 107 in an Auto is a phenomenal speed with that 1.99 60'... Some cars must have gotten a magical blessing from the factory. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

Mblock66 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Well I was against removing all kinds of weight b/c I want to know what my car will do on the highway during a normal day. That is why I leave it in (seats that is) I will remove the spare and the jack though. Just b/c sometimes I do ride without them. I have no issue with posting times with weight removal though as long as you state what you took out. I think that it is amazing that removing a seat and race gas will get a 5eat that fast! Honestly I nailed a 1.77 60', if he had, man that would have been like a 12.6!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM 525 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I agree, the reason he hit 107 was the 60'. With a low 1.80 his mph would fall off a bit but the ET would make up for it. any weight out of the car will help 100 lbs is a tenth as a general rule of thumb. The rate of gain is said to be 3:1 with unsprung weight (rims/tires). Basically 30lbs in rim/tire weight will yeild the same benefits as 90lbs from inside the car. I knew I should have removed my shoes before I made my passes.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
