Best run 12.8122 @ 112 MPH. 1178 FT elevation about ~75 Degrees and ~70% Humidity

First time at the strip with the RC F and had lots of fun! Also met Gearbangin at the strip, an 2008 IS F owner with Joe Z intake and exhaust, and PPE headers, he ran 12.6 @ 113.5 MPH all night long, I believe.

I couldn't break 12s at all during the daytime, but when the temps went down, my last two runs were my best, 12.9421 @ 111.08 MPH and 12.8122 @ 112 MPH. BTW every time I lit up the tires, the car locked me out of 1st gear because of the water, it says 1st gear not available due to slippery condition and had to use 2nd gear, I ran 14 flat and high 13s when that happened, this is with expert mode on.

Brake torque at 2000 RPM, manually shifting, and not warming up the tires was the best way to do it for me. Time slips are below, my is number 968, video will be up soon!

Nice runs, I'm sure you can get a much quicker time, the 60' is key. What tires are you running on the 20 inch wheels?

yeah, you once you lower that 60ft time, , you will be near mid 12s.

Is the aftermarket wheel/tire combo heavy? Heavy wheels cost quite a lot in the initial response due to higher rotational inertia (both off the line and rolling start).

Thanks! I am running Hankook Ventus Evo2, what 60' time range should I be in?

The 20s with the tire are lighter than my stocks with tire.

Hard to say really, below 2.0 should be your goal then try to get faster from there.

Tucker had a great time and great talking cars with you! Your car is sick! It looks like now its about even but once you get headers you should have the advantage.

Same here Larry! I need some of the carbon fiber that you have on your car in my life!

The LEM intake pipe is arriving on the week of import face off, maybe we can run it again at the strip on that day and see if it makes any difference!

Now thats a plan! What category would we be in bracket? 12.5 I guess. They dont really have a group for Import V8's lol

Your 60 foot is bad, get it under 2 and you will be at 12.5

Yea I just need a little bit more time at the strip to practice and maybe hit low 12s in October-November when I am down in Florida!

I have no clue, I don't even know if there is a pedal dance trick for the RC F. I will try tonight and let you know if the pedal dance will work.

Thanks, if I can hit mid to low 12s I'll be happy. Nice build BTW!
