: 12's possible stock?
TexanAviator 09-18-2007, 09:31 PM Now that we are about to get into some cooler weather, anybody out there think 12's in this beast is possible? I've had a pretty good history of getting my past cars to run extremely well out here at HRP which last time I checked one of the fastest, or THE fastest track in the nation....
Any ideas on this?
QBNKID 09-18-2007, 09:39 PM I would say, very much so.
Don't we have one here that has dipped in the 12s bone stock? I think we do.
Wow, HRP is a faster track than ATCO? That thing on a down hill? lol... :D
Razorecko 09-18-2007, 09:40 PM somebody hit 12.9 stock before so i'm sure its possible.
SilveRT8 09-18-2007, 09:54 PM somebody hit 12.9 stock before so i'm sure its possible.
I went 13.02 Stock, but in very cold conditions like DA-3000 you could drop another .2 sec or so.

PALELLA 09-18-2007, 11:04 PM I want to run 12's in all weather conditions!!:D

Pfft...man... I'm running 9s in all weather conditions... 1/8 mile that is....:D

I don't know if it is faster, I did not want to get myself into trouble for comparing tracks when I don't know what I am talking about. ......
Just looked it up, HRP is one of the fastest tracks on the NHRA circuit.
With our elevation, mixed with some cool, dry weather this winter, I think I should be able to crack into the 12's bone stock....
Anybody here from Houston wanna plan on headin out there once it cools off?
SRTFreak 09-19-2007, 03:42 AM thinking about it myself this friday just to see if my free mods helped any. best i got before was a 13.4 stock. so i guess we will have to see.

I might swing out there, not supposed to get too cool at night, along with high humidity :(
Inferno SRT8 09-19-2007, 05:13 AM Absolutely possible, last year at ATCO a stock JGC SRT8 ran a best 12.7 stock!!!
I was there and witnessed it along with a 12.8.

You should have waited for the 6.4 500hp version of the SRT-8 (like I am)

Or he could do exactly what he is doing and enjoy the now, rather than wait for something that is nothing but a rumor
gculver 09-19-2007, 06:39 AM It's certainly possible....ice the intake.....pull the panel filter....and hammer it in D.....:D GC
Jred22 09-19-2007, 06:41 AM I went 13.02 Stock, but in very cold conditions like DA-3000 you could drop another .2 sec or so.

Yup, Silver is the fastest color after all.

I've been waiting for the weather to cool off before I go back. :)

have you noticed that going half throttle then wot seems to pick up speed faster rather than flat out stomping to teh floor..... or is it my imagination. stupid drive by wire. someone said that in 1st gear the TB only opens to 80% anyway.
CentralTexHemi 09-19-2007, 10:13 AM Hey several of us from other truck forums are going to HRP on Oct 19th come on out and hang with us or me as far as I know I'm the only Jeep going so far I need some backup

That's funny because I was out last night testing that very thing. Very strange. That is stupid about the TB as well. My Vette was like that, but it was an easy fix as it was not drive by wire. Maybe somebody, or yourself can come up with something for that.

i and some other people have been trying to figure something out. But for the time being have been unsuccesful. only thing we have to look forward to is SCT. that will fix a lot of problems....
Nvr4get 09-19-2007, 11:02 AM Well I will be heading to hrp in my stock 07 srt8 hoping for a high 12 this winter. So I guess I will see you all there.

WTF the dude. i saw you at 518 and dixie frm rd last week i was in the srt10 turning onto dixie. i wanted to do a dig race but after last night(note) i dont want any part of that.
note: my wife and I raced from a dig me in the srt10 her int he srt8. I wasnt pretty at all, I lost by atleast 2 trucks out of the holeand tried to play catch up to 70 or 80. I spun bad and she just flat out kicked my ass off the line.

I'll put that on my calendar. I hope we have some decent weather.

That was your truck on 518? Zac and I were heading to the gym and we were wanted to race but then you turned left on dixie farm rd. That thing looks awesome by far the best looking srt10 we've seen. It also sounds nasty! I retired the Vette from dailydriving and once I saw the jeep I was in love. Small world, hit me up when you plan on taking your wife's car to the track.

cobrakid 09-19-2007, 03:36 PM ice intake, do free front scoop mod. pull filter. pull abs fuse. shallow stage, hammer it

HoustonSRT-8 09-20-2007, 08:10 AM Naw, I don't think tinted tails look good on silver.

thinking about going tomorow night you up for it. let me know i will pm you my cell number but zac has it also.
TexanAviator 09-20-2007, 03:58 PM Naw, I don't think tinted tails look good on silver.

S8ER01Z 09-21-2007, 10:04 AM Anyone around Cordova Dragway...my car club has a rental in November ;) Get in touch with me later this year if interested...I will be trying to squeeze a 12.9x...air should be great and the track sticks. Track is 640ft.. and should be negative DA unless we get freak warm weather.
