From a Dig? Or a Roll?

I can't really argue with ya there lowtaco, most Supra owners aren't drag racers I suspect. Hell, first time that I've ever been to a track was in October, and I managed a 13.5@104 on a full weight car on street tires, 2.1 60', all while sleeping at the light. This was at 320whp, and I know with a bit of practice I could be in the high 12's. That said, I really don't understand what's so hard about getting these cars off the line?
Oh, and Falken, there's really no difference in launching an n/a vs a turbo car, just with a turbo you're going to have a lot more torque to deal with, so a bit more precision is required if you don't have the grip to handle the power.

Two steps help if you have a manual or a stall for you auto guys. And DR's or slicks is a must.
I manage to cut 1.92's on 255/50 BFG's launching at 4500 with no two step, stock clutch holds great for now. And I just have the basic's, intake, intercooler, exhaust, SAFC.
May I add that time isnt far off from my best to date. 13.7 @ 102, this was before the radials. Ive only run 1/8 mile with them and had a few probs so I had to shut down.

The last time i was at the track with my current car. i couldnt get a good run.. Tires were either bogging or spinning, then it would break up spark in every gear. Running the way it was i still trapped 14.3 @ 106, with a shitty 2.4 60' haha.....btw it leaned out after the track and melted a hole in the piston(Damn non-selfcalibrating Widebands..). BFg Comp t/a 245 45. W58 act extreme ff clutch with no name stage 3 pp and Fidanza fly. and yes r154 trans

damn i wish i had a daily driver... i wanna use my supra at the track and gutter it out and do crazy stuff with it, but for now im using it as a daily lol.
roll racing is a car race, drag racing is a drivers race. No shit you have no traction on the street. The mildest setup will spin anything on the street. its called pedal'n and driving the car, not just flat foot driving that your little brother can do.
I beat the hell out of my car all spring and summer. Granted its not my daily but I am so amazed at how much these cars will hold up to, I mean multiple 4500 rpm clutch drops on radials and the clutch still holds.Falken;1651196 said:

My opinion.......real men go from a dig...............Keep the racing on the track.........older you get the more you have to lose..........just my opinion
Ill do both but i rather have a dig, Ive beaten so many cars that shouldnt have lost to a stock supra purely because the owners cant drive out of the hole.
