08SS0144 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Got my First "official" kill Today on Dragstrip ! Had a friend of a friend ( you know how that goes ) that kept on talking sh** so we met up tonight at the dragstip. Only a 1/8 mile track and only my first time behind the wheel dragging but lets just say he ain't talkin trash no more. ( not sure but the people at the track said he was spraying the f### out of it too ) Got a set of Mickey ET Sreet radials that I played around on a little to get the feel for. Anyway, here are the times : Supersnake 60ft----1.862----Estimated Time----7.51----MPH----99.909 Corvette Z06 60ft----2.189----Estimated Time----8.35----MPH----88.037 Still had some issues with wheel hop which I'm going to have to address but loved it for my first "official" track run. A copy of the time slip is attached above. :D Edited August 14, 2009 by 08SS0144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Owner Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks guys. It feels good when you can shut someone up who thinks Shelby's are slow ! I would be interested in knowing what you find that will prevent the wheel hop. When I picked up my SS, I was told if I ever added some stickier tires the wheel hop would come back.

When I picked up my SS, I was told if I ever added some stickier tires the wheel hop would come back. Shelby is coming out with adjustable Upper and Lower control arms that should be available within the next six weeks. I could put Steeda Upper and Lower on now probably a whole lot cheaper but i really would prefer to stay with the "Shelby" brand. They have three different options for configuration. ( They actually look nice too ) I will definitely post the diffence in reaction and time when I get them on.
