Really good 60ft for a Rwd? first off no, it's very average at best for a rwd on slicks. Second you say that like there's a better platform than rwd for getting good 60fts at a track.

Not trying to anything from your run sforteen.

Haha, no worries! I thought the same thing, he said really good... I was like meh its not THAT great even though its my best ive ever cut.

Car only gets raced a hand ful of times a year so im no expert, and its on a drag radial not a slick

Im more happy with the MPH and boost level than anything else.

The car is moving out. Some more seat time and it's in the 9'smfor sure.
It's better than Ive ever done in the 240 so far. No 2 step in the car yet so I can't even leave in boost. But regardless the reason for a rwd on the track it's a average 60fy, you obviously knew that wasn't meant as disrespect it's just the way it is. Guys cut 1.2's on drag radials in street driven rwd cars. There's no better platform at the track that a rwd.

I'm sorry. Based off what I'm thinking he's running a (street car), it's respectable. Not perfect, with room for improvement. Lots of variables, track prep, weather, sea level etc. A 1.5 sixty is not bad. Then again what do I know LOL.

Alright, let's bring some life back to this thread and talk about Jon Rogers' S14. The car is a SR20VE powered H pattern monster that just recently became the fastest H pattern SR car in the world running an 8.44 @ 160mph with a 1.21 60ft on a rather small 6870 Precision turbo (class limited)! Jon and David Varner own Import Drag Solutions, who make drag specific rear coilovers for our cars. David is running an auto 2JZ S14 that is no slouch either. Glad to finally have a shock alternative to the extinct HKS sets and other expensive 1-off custom sets.

I will be picking up a set of these coilovers soon and am curious as to which others on here are running them already
