Is that a 28" tire? They look a little tall, and I guess I could see how that could kill the gearing if that's what you're getting at. I like lettered slicks myself, but it looks mean
Nooo, 235/60/15 which is equal to a 26" tire. A few people I know ran them with success but I did not. I could not get the car to come out of the hole, always had low 1.8 60's, and high 11's. Made 1 change back to my 225/45/17 street tires and spun my way to low 1.7's and 11.2's and 11.1's @ 132+. That was enough evidence for me.

What brand are those, I was considering getting drag radials on mines just wasnt sure which to go with yet.
And 11.1 at 132 sounds like a lot of spinning through 1st and 2nd.
No spin in 2nd gear. Car had a bad 2nd gear/synchro so it would fall all the way out of boost on the 1-2 shift. Trans is back @ shep for stage 4 goodies right now.
Then the paint faded, so the Laser was primered back on '04. Unfortunately, the only pictures I have are from last year, which is when the motor went out, and the laser was no more.

NLTS !!! Then you will still be in boost.
If I launch and then try a hard NLTS into 2nd gear the car about goes sideways with a 16g .
Your not following, the 2nd gear synchro/gear would lock the car out of 2nd. I dont lift on shift's, it just would not go into gear at all so I had to wait for RPM's to drop ( I rev to 8k+). All will be remedied this season with the fresh stage 4. Should make more power too with a non stock intake manifold and 4R's.

Oh I see, alright get what your saying now. I have to shift slow like that too going into 3rd due to bad syncro but when I NLTS I still get it in gear in time enough to keep most of my boost. Though I only have a 16g, but yea your shifting definitely explains your times, new trans should do wonders.
Couldn't help it. It looked nicer so I used it. Hangs about 2" lower then the laser and I think once it's one color it'll look a bit more aggressive. To each his own.
Theblizz, yours is the junior version of my car ^ lol j/k man.
Speaking of body parts, something I have NEVER been able to find for my car that Ive always been missing is the mudflap looking piece on the sideskirt that sits right behind the driver side front tire, its a laser specific piece that the other dsms dont have. The Previous owner jacked the car up there and crushed it, so I have the whole side skirt but missing that little piece. If anyone has one theyd sale, or know were I can find one send me a pm and that would be much appreciated.
Keep the pics coming, I know theres more lazirs on this site.
