cmax, your max has some power dude ! if my max weighed as much as yours with big rims I would be running mid 15's maybe even high 15's .. lol !

Weather is getting warmer so that never helps. Im not sure about what is possible in an auto but the 60 needs work, a 2.20 60 foot would have put you in the 13.7-13.8 area. Its really hard to judge since you are Supercharged. I know with my maxima I would expect to pickup a .1 for every .1 i knocked off my 60.

As for as i can tell you have a very fast car, she sounds like she is in street/show trim rather than race trim. On a cool night with a little planning, you could own.

Your 60 is killing you, too much wheel spin. Ive noticed that SC maximas get best results by launching at 2k, but dont go wot start rolling and then mash it.

thank you ceaser that is an honor coming from you. and yes the car is half show and half performance but now i want to have some fun. i knew the numbers would'nt be that high due to rims system and weight but i wanted to see where i stand. and sonic yes the weather was not good, lots of rain and heat before the race and my 60' sucks that i know.
now that im itchy im gonna get some racing radials for my 16 and take out the system then see. i had to have an excuse thats why i didn't trim the car blame it on the rims LOL. also i have the timeslip at my site

That is pretty good for how heavy your car is. Lighther/smaller wheels, no subs, and no passanger seat could make a huge difference.

3600lbs...that is with you in the car correct? How much gas did you have.

I think you could see mid 13's easy with a better 60' and wieght reduction.

thank you I30tmikeD. yeh thats 3,596 with me in it. i weight just over a 150. the problem is the dynamat and 1 in thick wood for the custom install and soundproofing. im going to take it out soon to redo it to fit my new program maybe use some lighter weight material. im also putting on 16's with racing radials that i ordered today. this is getting fun seeing my big bad boat float down the track.
