The 60ft was 2.10!
The car has 70 miles on it, the car was hot it was not cooled down, the track sucked no big deal.
How many people pick their car up from the dealership and take it directly to the track....? Not many.... Only us...

That mph is good for a 12.6 with a flat 1.9 sixty, that and eliminating the wheelhop. I know that in my car(a g35 sedan), I can cut a 1.9 sixty with wheelhop, and cut the same sixty with a deadhoock/slight bog, and I'll pick up 2mph just from traction.

I'm guessing they took the car to Cecil County. They do test and tune on Wed. nights. Fast track but can be dicey with traction. I ran the time in my sig there. I think considering the engine isn't broken in yet, had no track prep whatsoever and run hot it did quite well. 2.1 60ft time leaves a lot of room for improvment. It's a legit 12 second car. The key will be finding the sweet spot for launching and powershifting.

The base GT comes with 235's, right? The Brembo equipped car comes with 255's, right? How much improvement will there be between the two, on average (estimate, obviously) and is there a limit on what the 255 can hit in comparison to a wider tire (e.g. Camaro's 275's)? Might be the first upgrade then!

The car appears to be very tricky to launch. It will take some time behind the seat of the thing, and at the track, to consistently launch the cars on stock rubber.
275s would help a decent bit also.

I remember in 1990 when my dad bought a 90 LX 5.0 that was the same exact thing he did.
Of course he had the motor out of the car by the 3rd day though.

110mph is good news. It is indeed more difficult drag racing on street tires than with a drag tire. Especially with higher power levels.
13.0 will be avg for street tire runs, but sub 12.5's will be avg with drag tires.
