If you dont have a timeslip then you dont know what time it will do,even if its been dynoed with 300atw it doesnt mean its gunna do a low 12/high 11..

No timeslip then dont bother saying wat it will do.. :spoton:

It's a good topic

I have an 11 second car but if some one pulled up beside me at the lights and wanted a run and asked me what time the car would run I wouldn't answer, and here's why.

Im in a car with 385rwkw the guy next to me might have 300 rwkw and he might run mid 12s to 13s, but if I race him at the lights he is going to slam me no probs, why because I can't get traction and he can. So he thinks he has just beaten an 11 sec car and im still spinning wheels, go figure :spoton:

Guys,

Street trim is street trim .. I ran a 11.94 sec pass, 1.93 60' and an ET of 116 mph last night on the factory 17" Dunlop 3000s, weighed in at 1910 kgs on the scales at scruteneering.

Is my car an 11 sec car?

Good topic.

I think it depends on the situation that you are in when someone asks.

If your standing in the street and someone points at your car sitting there in full street trim, daily driver, then asks "What does it run?", then the correct answer would be to point at it and say "as it sits right there, I can get 12's. I have had it weight stripped at the drags and it has ran an 11 though."

Im going to the drags in a few weeks, I will run my first couple of runs as it is, since I have never even ran it before. Once im comfortable, tyres will be changed, tailgate off, spare out and make the sucker get to the other end as fast as it possibly can.

Its drag racing, not street racing we are talking about.

I still rate a 11sec street car with street everything (daily driver ) more than a drag setup car that just broke into the 10s,that's mad running a 10sec pass but it doesnt count when a 11sec street car blows your doors off. that's if the car is a daily driver.. that's my 2 cents anyway..

I guess each to there own if your happy with the car then why worry about if it breaks 10s,11s or 15s..

because I've never actually raced my car down the strip, when people ask what time it would do, I tell them that I don't know, but cars with "similar" set ups run "insert time here". I then say that with the tune, and hardware installed, it has the potential to run a 12... then again, depending on the driver/tyres/set up, it also has the potential to run a 15. It's impossible to explain to people what time it would do, if you haven't had a run. :laughing:
