Quickest Pro touring car?

[nitrorocket]

O.k. So who has got the fastest pro touring car with low profile tires on the dragstrip??

What are your combinations? Maybe we can all learn something! :unibrow:

[hiwayman]

nitro what would be your guess my 69 ran 10.1sec on slicks i would imagine on genuine street tyres 12sec probly slower

[MSchu]

Nine Ball's sold '69 Supercharged LS6, Jeff Schwartz's Caddie and Ultima, any of SW's cars, and the Aluminator are some of the top of my head :bow:

[nitrorocket]

What are the specs on these cars?

hiwayman- What is your combo? What MPH? :yes:

[hiwayman]

hi rocket 500in big block/t400 mono leafs with Qa1 the rest was pretty much stock that was last year a lot has changed now has the max-g chassis, top end speed 139mph i noticed a lot of cool cars just mentioned did stuart adams get down the strip with that power hmmm

[importkiller69ss]

i would have to say as far as looks and performance the mule comes to mind....dont know specs as far as 1/4 but i know it is killer on the road course...also bob johnsons cuda i think made somewhere of upwards 1000 hp

Nitro -
It's one of those gray areas. By low profile, do you mean something like Michelin Pilot Sports, Kuhmo/Nitto Road Race slicks or Hoosier Quick Time Drag tires? The difference between the three is huge. Also radial-only not bias -ply correct ? Not being a pain, just seein' what you were looking for.

Maybe tires that could be considered both street legal and rain-worthy?

[nitrorocket]

I mean any low profile tires 17" or larger I guess. I have run 315/35/ 17" BFG Drag Radials and Pirelli PZERO Road race slicks back to back, and had the same 60' time. I have never tried a regular tire that is not a track tire. That wold be asking for BIG trouble!! :omg:

same amount of nitrous just changed tires.

[ProdigyCustoms]

im going to put 335 / 18s and bigger brakes on my street racer and it will be a PT car. It runs very low nines. I can use my ET streets right?

For specs,

404 CI
10:1 pump gas motor
a little squeeze
TH350
4.10 12 bolt

[nitrorocket]

I am not sure a road course would like a nitrous car with 4.10's! :_paranoid

[ProdigyCustoms]

4.10s are fine with a 7600 RPM motor, but i'll let someone grab the nitrous on the road coarse! Crazy sheot happens when you add 300+ horse on a roll.

I am being a bit fasicious (sp) with calling it a Pro Touring car, I keep threatening to do it and drive it on power tour. Put 18s on it, some 13" / 12" brakes, a stock deck lid and spoiler, remove the wheelie bars. Dirve it on the tour, pull into Gainseville, change deck lid to wing deck lid, put on ET street tires, put the wheelie bars on, and blast off a 8.99 to 9.30.

[rocketman]

the car has been faster,before i changed the suspension to a pro touring.

i drive it about 100-150 miles.

i have acouple set of wheels

chrome z06 wheels on 265/35/18 and 315/30/18
and
billet specialties on 265/35/18 and 295/35/18

[hiwayman]

frank could you post some pictures of the street car that thing sounds nasty

[Novette_71]

hey.

see, we dont have many dragstrips over here ... so quartermile times are hard to get plus my nova is not done yet ...

if you consider my 1996 M3 pro touring, it was doing 178 mph and I drove that fast if possible every weekend on my way home .... see video and project pics on www.keilani-racing.de

[nitrorocket]

Well, So far myself, I have gone 10.50@ 137 mph on 315's and 93 octane pumpgas. Unfortunatly, that was not a complete pass because I blew up my torque converter. All the sudden it would just zing right to the rev limiter. I was running a 9" and now had to swap to a 10". I am hoping to get to the track sometime in the next month or two and see what it really runs. I am hoping for 9's @ about 150 mph, but I will have to wait and see. Honestly, I am pretty happy with the only slip I have, I didn't think that was to bad given the situation! :D
