Well, I went to down to the drag strip nearest me (in Newbern, NC) and ran my car. I had to have a helmet, which was a bother, but not too bad.
It is A LOT different from the street. A LOT. The pavement is actually sticky.
1st Run:
Reaction: .825 (on a .000)
60': 2.3 (on 11" DRs, WTF?!?)
1/8: 9.2 @ 78mph.
I bogged on launch (about a 2.7K dump) and didn't powershift. And I shortshifted into 4th before I finished. It was a fun experience, though.
2nd Run:
Dialed the car up to about 4k, dumped it, and broke it. Probably snapped my ring and pinion--again. Damn GM 7.5" 10 bolts. Damn Nittos.
Oh well, if I have the money, I'll get a Moser 9" to go in, or if not, I'll replace the ring and pinion and put street tires on.
