I remember seeing a video or something some took of a SHO launching. You could see the front wheels moving back and forth, not up and down, due to the way the suspension is designed from factory.

Yea the stock suspension design on the sho is good. I just need some sticky tires. Currently im running Yokohama Avid H4s which are good tires but not nearly good enough to hold the power of the car. Im having my slicers professionally painted then the rims i have on the car now are getting some nice track tires.

weight reduction and seat time you can get that thing mid- high 15s easy

take out the spare, any removeable rear seats, lower the tire pressure a smige (if your having wheel spin issues, which i dont think u do) etc. all these little things get over looked but when your going all out stock style you need everything you can get lol

When i ran the 16.3 i had a full interior but i also had some 235/50/18's. I set my front tires down to 26psi. It did spin a bit but i think that was because of the stock suspension. It was so soft i thought the front tires were gonna come off the ground. The eibach springs should help with that. Im gonna lower the pressure on the tires that i have now and hope for the best. If i get the intake mani that will make a improvement as well especially if i upgrade the cams. Im hoping for 15's this year.

Btw this is what i mean

nice, the mods will help a bit, also like i said interior removal even if its just for the runs at the track is well worth it.

since u posted an action racing shot it made me wana dig up mine lol



that was from my first time at the track....that shot is actually my 13.6 run...believe it or not my first ever run, first ever time at the track with that car was a 17.2 spun all through first (had 40psi in the all seasons!!!) and got beat by an accord

since the 13.6 all i did was put Nitto 555s (the street tires), upgrade to a 17" wheel, removed the spare tire and subs out of the trunk and just got better at driving and pulled off a 12.96

oh an gas, that thing must be a fuel slut and have a huge tank (could be wrong) try to get it to the track with 1/4 or an 1/8 of a tank, ull notice 1-2 tenths of a second faster.


lol and just noticed your not wearing a helment, must be nice to be in a car slow enough to not require one LOL 80-90 degree weather is nobodys friend with a helmet
