Well, depending on how well you launch, how good your RT, and 1000 other variables, 11.5 is probably your best likely time, and 13.5 is if you stall when dumping the clutch

The Polkster isVERYwell versed in 1/4, and our go-to guy around here. So if you ask a general question, you will get The Generals answer

Jazzer welcomes you to the Saleen / Roush and Boss section

"The Polkster isVERYwell versed in 1/4" ......very true!!!

With the power you are saying, 11's is no problem.......if car the car is set up for it. The S197 get big time wheel hop on the stock suspension! Our car has gone 12.3 @ 116.8 on small Nitto's and stock suspension. This is walking it out of the hole from 2500....trying to keep the axle hop to a minimum. We have now put upper and lower arms on and (if I put the 12oz down) will be putting on the line lock and get back to the track.

By the way, our car is Full Saleen.......suspension, 20" wheels (front), etc. Power .......who knows? I change /tweak the tune more then my undies

I ment no disrespect to PolkThug.allthough his responce was in no way helpful.What he probably should have said was, if you can driveyou should be able to hit mid to high 11's. Anyway i was just bored and im going to the track on friday night with weather permiting so i figure i would see what you all had to say.

Kind of like when I said "from 11.5"

*gazes into crystal ball* Although I'm not really seeing you break into the 11's at all. I'll give you a 12.65 at best.

I'll stick by my 'from 11.5 to 13.5' initial estimate and I want vids of all your runs so I will be proven right.

Have fun and practice, practice, practice!

Now your just being a jerk. Dude you dont know me or how i drive. with 450rwhp and 450 torque if i dont run at least a 12.1 with slicks i shouldnt be driving this car. 11.5 to 13.5 is like telling your wife youll be home for dinner between 4 and 8 and showing up a 7 pist off because you diner is cold . if you dont want to help and all you want to be is a dumb ass then keep your smart ass commitsto yourself.
