Alright, if nobody else will get off their lazy arses and organize some kind of DSM club for the Houston area I will!! Whoever is interested just post some kind of reply. I live in the Humble area, every Saturday night there is a fairly lame car show at the Jame's Coney Island about a mile from my house. Maybe some Saturday night we could all meet up at my house and head over there for a while, look at some cars, then maybe head out to Rankin or something. I dunno. Or maybe just head back to my house and put a few down or something. Or maybe nothing at all if nobody is interested. If anybody thinks this sounds like fun, or at least something to do, shoot me an email, iland_99@yahoo.com and lemme know what's up. Thanks.

You were getting better with every launch though. Alot of people think you should just be able to go out there and run 12s but it's a little different than the street. All you need is drag radials for the front and adjustable struts all around. You know we need to keep the back end from dipping down and the front headlights from pointing at the sky!!!!!!
Damn fwds!!!

:realmad:A 12 does not come easy (at least for me). With a good launch plus you must have enough wheel power. The trap speed should estimate how much HP you make to the wheels. The ET just say how good you are a driver because it's all with the 60'. When you get better with launching, you will see ET improving, however, the trap usually remain pretty constant (if you do not change anything, boost and tuning remain unchanged). You get better ET not because your car is making more HP but just because you drive better.
I understand why everyone wants a better ET. Yes, to win the race but what about HP to the wheels? Isnt that what you want from the car? I rather have more HP on the wheels than being a better driver. But, that's just me
