Thread: Track times? Stock

Has anyone ran there stock Gxp and how bad we're you spinning?

I only have an 1/8 mile time when i used to have the gxp. Spun bad with a 2.2 60ft.......went 9.1 @ 78mph

What tires were you on? I'm afraid to see how I hook at the track vs the street I feel like imma spin my ass off at the track lol

It was on some Hankook all seasons, and yeah the track will be a different world, I wish I had more practice b/c i know i could have done better.

You can pull off a decent pass if you get enough practice and feel for the car

On the streets I can hook like no other I mean I put 3 cars on a mach1 off the start, my first track session and first track session period is going to be bad but hopefully I can keep from spinning with either bf Goodrich gforce or the Micky Thompson street radial 2's

Here's the video

The tires should help you out a lot, plus that Mach 1 driver needs to learn how to drive IMHO

Plus I ran Mickeys last year on the camaro at the track and they were great! got them all the down to the cords and they still hooked !

Which mickys? And ya his 2nd gear sencro was giving him a little hassle but I also was running 87 octane in that video I'm on 91 now and running 10x stronger . I'm going to run on the tires I got now then switch tires to see how much it helped, just scared to hook to well and blow something!!! Thank god for a new tranny

I ran the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials, not the 2s, but I think either way they are good tires. 275/40/17s pulled off a 1.51 60ft

Do you have a tranny cooler?

Not yet and did you drive daily with those? Ever get caught In the rain? I need a good rain tire to lol. If I so get the mickys then I think I could pull off a good 60' with some practice

I'm look at 265/40/18 in the mickys 255's in the gforces

Id recommend getting a tranny cooler asap.

I did not drive DD in them, but did get caught in the rain a couple times, just went really slow, but it was sketchy at times.

The downside to good track tires is that they all are not going to be "good in the rain" i would highly not recommend counting on them for extreme weather, but you can get through rain if your very very careful. All in all though the gforces and mt 2s should be better then what i had in the rain.

But you def will see better 60ft times

I just wanted to make sure If I get caught in the rain that I will have some control lol I know on a rwd in the rain there sketchy lol I can't imagin a fwd where all the control is lol, I might try to find a set of rims to get to put them on

Any suggestion to which tranny cooler? And where to mount?

I want something good lol if you find something worth something post it up lol I'm on my phone and amazon freezes it so can't get on lol
