What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?

^That would be this broke ni66a right here.

But i did start cutting consistent low 1.7/high 1.6s

Hmmm, nitrous one day we will be together.

I think most of the people on here ran on street tires, at least most of the normal poor people.

It seemed like half the cars at Rock Falls were on slicks. It is more of a luxury on the AWD cars, I guess.

I was on street tires. Sumitumo HTR ZIII's. 235-45 if i recall right. And yeah my 60' times were usually in the 1.8-1.9 range. Big area for improvement, but I wanted street tires, and that was about as wide as I could fit without rubbing fenders and no coilovers. An evo if you can run some wider tires, probably would help a little.

I run 275's dunlop star specs (very very good sticky street tire) all the way around...i think i should be able to cut a decent 60' with practice :)

[Halon]

yeah. I'd say if you're able to cut a 1.6 on street tires then you're doing decent and should be a big thing to help you get there. The 60' time makes quite a difference.

Those are some decently wide tires so that should help a bit I'd think.

[awd-drifter]

275s all around is huge!

I've only run street tires(not that sticky either), and I've reasonably consistently run low 1.7's, and a few high 1.6's. (235/40-17)

I'd venture to guess anything stickier then street tires in 275's in an AWD EVO = Finding weak links.. $$. Even with street tires, we'll see how it goes for these guys. Could get expensive fast.

There is more to running 10's or faster then just making power. Those who have tried, know this, those who haven't will know when they get there.

Racing in general is humbling(drag race, road race, whatever..) when you actually do it.

Nah uh! making 600hp is a guaranteed 10 even when you get locked out of 2nd!!

















.... right?:lol:

Yep, you get to find out which parts of your setup suck, both your car and you.

Racing is a strong word for what most of us are doing. I'm just trying to keep my car from being bored. If it ran right then I'd be failing miserably...
