      That 60’ and you’re there. You should be able to knock it out with the right tire, pressure, and burnout routine then slip the clutch enough to not hit it hard but also not let it bog. If you want to make it easy get Kelltrac coilovers. My launches were 5,500 with a little clutch slip on the release. Not much just enough to not knock them loose

      The mods listed at the beginning of the video along with dropping some weight. I didn’t lose any comforts just swapped parts for lighter parts mostly and was around 3,100 with driver. Also carbon synchros and billet shift forks when I rebuilt the trans. Lots of driving and tuning to find it’s way from high 10’s to high 9’s.

      @hardwick_performance  Рік тому +3

      On these passes I’d estimate just under 3k lbs without driver. Nothing major removed it still had AC and factory interior. Lithium battery and two piece(factory style) front rotors saved some. Front sway bar removed for weight and better weight transfer. Wheels/tires, catless headers, and some of the other typical mods also drop a good amount of weight. I also make sure I don’t have too much fuel, no floor mats/full glove box and things like that. Washer fluid is typically empty. There’s a lot of little stuff that adds up. I’m around 160lbs.
