Practice my friend...I found out that after modding the C32 its MUCH harder to launch off the line...way to much wheel spin...I bet I can have a Quaife and still not managed 12s...believe it or not I drove Jerrys' car prior to sale down the track and keep in mind he does 12s easily....my best was like mid 13s and with NOS...so keep practicing your launch my friendOriginally Posted by c32AMG-DTM
Best so far was a 13.20 @ 105.7 - was about 85 degrees that day, so hoping cooler fall weather will bring more power and lower times

bad launch.... Last night at the drags I messed around in M-mode and when i went to launch the car shifted into 2ed gear and would not shift back down. I made a mustang feel like he had a chance.. But i still won with a whopping 14.3. It got me thinking... what runs through these kids heads when a 4 door sedan blows them out of the water. My guess is the same thing I was thinking when i got beat by an electric car that ran 12.9 last night!Originally Posted by loungn14

shouldnt the monolites help the dyno since they're a good 9-10 lbs lighter than the stock 17" wheels?

Guess they were aptly named. Should be a no brainier then, less rotating mass surely isn't going to hurt on a dyno.Currently Active Users (1)
