Plenty of blokes on the XR6T forums have done fine.

I can keep going if you like. The above cars all have more then 250rwkw. There is more to how a car can put power to the ground then tyres.

well have a look at your claim 395 or 350 rwkw 11.76 that is a perfect example and those times you posted are **** 60ft times.but you would know hey bloke quick back to the diary for more specs.

1.7 and 1.8 for street cars with standard gearboxes? What is your best 60"?

 

[sporty custom]

1.831 stock 5ltr and i wouldnt even have 300hp at the wheels the xr 6 turbo makes crawls of the line traction hardly gunna be a prob unless there manual or hi stall on street tyres

I'm with airstrike.. Street Tyres are fine for the occasional drag racer.. No sense buying yourself a set of ET Streets and rims to suit if you're only gonna be hitting the drag strip once or twice a year. Of course if you wanna go spend $1000+ on rims and drag radials go for it.. My car has got around 450rwhp and on 440 Treadwear cheap street tyres I can 2.0s the 60'.. If I got slicks I'd probably be able to 1.7-1.8 the 60' and shaved 0.4-0.6 off the 1/4 time but I'm more interested in what it runs in street trim, not bragging rights on a car forum.

And the XR6T 60' times he posted I'd almost say the good ones around 1.8 are ZF autos and the crappy ones are probably the manuals..

1/4 14.089
60ft 2.208
R/t .032
Full exhaust extractors cats ect
Mafless tune and Otr
Very disappointing as it made 258rwkw on dyno and yes I have put it on another dyno and it came back with 257 rwkw so power is there but at the track she is a nugget what's wrong standard wheels no wheel spin traction off power button off when it's on it's slower with a 14.6 and that time was the best tuner said something's wrong with the car pulling that time with that power

Have a look at my time slip, it's a classic case of the quicker car getting a slower ET... The guy beside me had a better RT, higher trap and I got .8 of a second on him

I have an Auto and leave TRAC ON and I run KU31's (not even new tyres), this was only my 2nd trip out to Willowbank. I can't remember what he had, no-one remembers the losers, but you can tell it's a quicker car with more power but he's not getting it onto the track.

02 CV8-R Auto 5.7L with a catback exhaust, only my second time out to Willowbank - I was pretty happy with the time

Reaction time has nothing to do with ET or MPH.

 

[Brenno]

^This Guy..
RT only matters when competitively racing.. At Test and Tunes it won't apply..

I had this argument with a fella the other day because he tried to take a 1.2sec RT off his ET and claim his car was faster then mine..

 

[mpower]

Reatipn time has nothing to do with ET or MPH.

Ok, so I've looked into it further and now I understand RT more in relation to ET, I didn't say it effects MPH btw.

I guess in my case you would be looking at the 60' time.

 

[AirStrike]

ok, so I admit to not knowing everything there is to know about drag racing but surely RT effects ET but not MPH, and I didn't say RT would effect MPH anyway.

If you sit there and don't react for like 2 seconds, that isn't added to the ET? Or does ET start from when the car gets going??

ET is timed from when you break the staging beam, R/T is only taken into account with a pro tree. Standard racing in Australia is based on the ET only.
Good example is turbo cars. I had runs where my R/T was 4-5 seconds and the other car was .5-1 yet as I had a lower ET I won.
