I thought I had it today? but I didn't! I thought after running those back to back 1.55 60's on the Oct 8 race that I could do it again but the colder weather hurts traction and really didn't pick up the mph that much for me.

Jaime,
Very impressive times! What tires were you running?
So let me get this straight: 02 GT2, Giac Tune, Evo DV's, K24 EVO WG's, AP muffler and that's it?! How much boost are you running trough the stock 24's? Stock air box, stock filter? Does anybody know what the DA was at that track when you guys ran? What was the temp and altitude?

Chris that was some good driving buddy! I am glad you ran 11's today but hell with a professional driver behind the wheel of that car of yours, what did you expect?
Here are my 3 best runs of the day in my GT2. I have a GIAC tune done about 5 years ago and a Agency muffler from Vivid, that I like! but did not pick up the car any. I also have EVO WG on the stock turbo's and thats it! I feel my car is really still pretty much stock!

MIR's Elevation is 100 feet, a 50 degree day makes for almost perfect conditions, with that said, it is still incredibly impressive for the GT2. Congrats again Jaime, great driving!

Mario knows my car better than me!
But he answered your questions correctly so I don't have to! I have to agree the weather was close to perfect about 55 degrees and dry air. On the other hand the track was not that good as we had to do circles on the track itself to dry the rain from the night before for about 45 minutes after the Jet driers spent 3 hours doing it! Traction was good early, but faded quickly, a lot of cars dripping water on the track from running through puddles coming up the return road not to mention doing burnouts in the water box with stock radials after being told not to!
All in all though a really good day after the weather cleared. And thanks to the guys complimenting my car and my driving.

Going to the strip this weekend if Neil can get my clutch done in time, I think I can trap at least 126, maybe 127 with K24's ECU and Exhaust on a TT. Weight 3570 with 1/2 tank and driver.

Mike, it's your first time, don't sweat it. Get your short times down and you're in the 11's for sure. And 11's don't suck - this board just has the ability to twist reality like that. In the 11's you're faster than 99.5% of the cars out there.
I sure as hell hope so - I'm at 126+ on K16's!
What clutch did you end up deciding on?
