[850 GLT]

I'm curious as to what the best 60 ft time would be for our cars on street tires. If you have a manual tranny make sure you mention that. Also, explain what kind of tires, pressures, and technique you used if possible.

After 3 runs my best was a 2.306. I'm running 215/45/17 Goodyear GS-D3's. Judging from the video my friend took of one of my runs I'm getting a very small amount of tire spin. I brake torqued up to 2500ish and then floored it. I was running normal tire pressure, ~35 psi.

2.452, and not an ounce of wheelspin.

[odell1523]

2.495 is best on the new volvo and crazing spinning and 2.183 in my black car with just chip, intake and stock wheels...stock w heels work so much better than 18s

[Johann]

2.445 is the best I did so far..

i feel good knowing that someone else (johann) with a well modded car still gets bad 60's like me...what wheels/tires you running johann?

2.157 60'

I could probably do alot better but last time i went to the track (with new ecu) it was kinda cold and the track was slippery as hell. I think i could get a 2.0 on a hot day.

*edit* Just a note that this 60 foot time is BEFORE i got my new ECU *edit*

you guys not getting wheel spin need to put your foot in it a little more at the tree! A bit of wheel spin is actually a good thing because it takes some of the load off your drivetrain and axles, as well the car fails to realize that the wheel is slipping (tracs-disengaged) and continues to increase rpm and boost pressure.
some of my highest traps and best 60's came from hard launching.

1 thing that should be noted here. A tenth less 60ft can turn into 2 tenths at the 1320 mark and
increased trap speeds!

A note about the Volvo.. my car only picked up ~19mph in the last 1/8th mile on its best run so far. It's a shame how weak these cars are up top.

[The Wife's Car]

Thanks! I've run a best of 12.1 in the quarter mile, but that was with a completely worn out posi earlier this year. (Could only do a 1-tire burnout! ) So with the new posi I had installed last month, it should run a 12.0 or 11.9, naturally aspirated.

I'd still like to see what the S70 GLT would run in the quarter, but my wife says no. Oh well.
