IS350 finally in the 12s!
IS350 finally in the 12s!
I set out today in hopes of hitting 12's once again based on what looked to be a very cool and dry day. I was planning to go to the track that I typically go to, but they were not open today. My wife and I got up at 5:45am and drove 100+ miles to the next nearest track that would be open. Cecil County Dragway. If I haven't already said so in the past, I have the best wife in the world!
My first two runs were done exactly as my previous 13.14 run but I pulled the front seat this time. I hit 12's both times so I threw the front seat back in for my third and fourth runs and managed a 13.034 on the 4th run. Third run I broke traction with a 2.9 60' time.
Weather Stats (See signature for my drag strip journal)
Car stats:
JoeZ pipe (OEM Airfilter)
Tanabe exhaust
Custom mid-pipe
Michelin PS2 tires in the front at 50 psi
Kumho 245/35/18 tires in the rear at 32 psi
Eibach springs
ECT PWR was again NOT used on the runs.
Launches were done with brake torquing at 1100rpm
Fuel was slightly less than 1/2 tank.

Ooops sorry for the confusion. I just edited the post. The 12's were both done with the front passenger seat removed. The 13.024 was with it back in place.

Here is some video footage of some other random cars at the track today. Jeep SRT-8 is pretty darn sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92TMMkCpTmY
