- Decided to hit up Orlando Speed World for their Saturday night 1320X Midnight Madness on 01-28-17. I was in search of another 11 sec pass on stock 245/45-20 tires, and dang near didn't get it. This time, it's also on video.....finally remembered to turn the Go Pro on..lol.
Great runs Bro! Thanks for taking us along. You made the 11s on 245s, very 😎 cool..
Thumbs up man....nice runs...it's really nice that no haters are here or negative comments!
Thank ya much, and it has been surprisingly positive on the track vids. I have an update vid I need to process/upload though. I had an uh-oh with the Scat Pack, and she has been down for a while now. But, trying to get things rolling for the rebirth, and she will be terrorizing 5.0's and SS once again.
That negative DA over the weekend helped a lot I almost drove up there for it but changed my mind. My first 11s were in Orlando. Now down in palm beach I finally consistently run them. :) good stuff to see another scat on 245s running 11s
It was finally good enough air to give it another shot. I ran an 11.99 @ 115.6 back in Nov/Dec at Valdosta in -150 DA, but I've had to work when the DA was better. I tracked the forecast, and decided it was time. DA was there, just wasn't sure how the track would hold up on a street car night. I almost went to Gainesville during the day....DA was -600 to -700, and they had prep'd the track for NHRA certs. You still on the OEM 245's, or swap to a different brand? I didn't think there was anyone else crazy enough to try running 11's on stock tires...lol. What messes with people about my car....no tune, no tires, only a Hellcat lower air box kit. 11's on OEM parts, gotta love it.
I can't image what hooking in first gear feels like.
Nice #s. Bro. Now i know what my scat shaker can do. Great launch!!!! Low is the way to go.
Thank ya much, and it took a bit of tinkering to get the numbers. These cars will run high 11's in stock trim with decent air/traction.
Nice job bro, that's very cool and I'm impressed with your performance !!From A Vette owner lol
Bob V Thank ya sir, and it took some trial n error to make it happen. People thought I was nuts for even trying to get 11's on a stock 245..lol. New n/a combo is going to be much nastier, and hoping for mid 11's on street tires, low 11's/high 10's with a drag setup. TBH, would love a C6 Z06, but my clutch days are done..bad knee from military service. They are nasty bad with cam, exhaust, tune.
C-7 Z06 is available with auto's, I almost traded for one last summer but mama didn't want to sell ours.A Forum member has his C-6 LS3 running really well with LT headers, CAI, tune, A-6 he's in Georgia and last outing he got 12.02 at 117mph. He's looking at DR's to get in to the 11's.My only choice for a track is Vegas and the DA sucks plus its crowded as hell and a 2.5 hr drive 1 way, bummer :(Good luck on your quest
Impressive!
That is awesome!!! Congrats!
Thank ya.....thinking that might be the last outing on these tires. They are more finicky than usual, so time to start planning on replacement, or a set of DRs for track days. Just hate the thought of not being on stockers though....soooo much fun messing with people when they realize how stock the car is..lol.
Great bro. Best i got in my 18 scat is a 4.4 0-60.
Very good run. That's amazing! I saw 1 other Scat Pack CHALLENGER run 11.50, all stock except he had a K&N drop in filter. I still couldn't believe that he doesn't have a tune, until his brother who also has a 15 Challenger Scatpack ran almost the identical time with drag radials and a tune. I looked the stock one over and saw nothing that indicate otherwise that it wasn't stock. So you're not by any means the only 1.
Thank you, and the car was very consistent if I got the launch right. Doing it on drag radials is one thing, but pulling it off on the stock tires is a whole other game. Its walking a tightrope with dress shoes on..impossible, no..but who's crazy enough to try it..lol. I'm hoping to improve on the times though. Changed to a 275/40 rear plus have a Tazer to unlock SRT Track mode. Hoping to make it to a track next weekend and try everything out.
Next challenge: 11 seconds with a 6 speed transmission
Lol...my knee wouldn't deal with a manual trans very well, so I'm stuck with autos from now on.
Lonnie Aspinwall hope your situation gets better haha
@@Clutched392 Hopefully Charles @ Hellraiser gets the odd valvetrain noise ironed out soon. Car is supposed to be getting space in the shop this week, then tear down can commence. Missing all the good track weather 3 years in a row is zero fun. As for my knee, will never be able to daily a manual again.
Tonight will be interesting though, first track outing on the new 275/40 tires. Time to relearn what the car wants all over again...lol.
great job dude. Keep it coming.
Thanks Perry. I'm hoping to get back to the track either Sunday or Wednesday. I finally broke down and did 275/40's on the rear, so time for some testing. It will be interesting to see if they can eclipse the 245's performance.
Can't imagine a 3.7 on 245/45s WOW!!👍😎 Thought 4.2 was great guess not! Lol😎😎
When trying to run a good number on stock 245s, it's a serious case of walking a VERY thin line between spin and hook. I may try something stupid with the stock tires...can they hook up 475-500 rwhp. If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid...lol. I have a forged, cammed engine going in soon, so vids will start again.
A couple more questions... What RPM are you staging at? What is your ESC setup Off, Sport or Normal? And is the car in Sport or Normal? Mt best 0-60 time is with everything set to normal, crazy! It runs consistent 4.4 0-60's on RSA 245's. Even trying to feather in 1st to 2nd, I get hop or spin in sport ESC. My biggest debate now is the rear tires, I'm stuck on either 275's or widening the WRT's and going with 305's. I should have these burnt off by spring, just in time for some new stickier shoes!
If the track is good, I'll stage at 1800-1900 rpm then roll the throttle pretty quickly. I can always tell when I get too aggressive on the gas....spins/hops/generally not happy..lol. If the track is so-so, I dial it back to 1600 or so, then ease into it. ESC is in Sport, same for trans. I tried a few passes with ESC off, and had too much spin on launch. The TQ management pulls it back just enough in Sport to let the car hook. I have a pair of 275's going on the car tomorrow...went with the Atturo AZ850's. For the price, figured WTH, I'll give them a whirl. If they don't work like I want, next up will be the Firehawk Indy 500's...friend has them on his tuned/sprayed R/T and says they hook really good for a street tire.
Nice job man! People go crazy to have the times you managed with radials! Very nice.
Great run and outstanding 60ft on skinny stock 245's! Poor fox body mustang on the earlier run haha
Thank you, and he was probably thinking "I got him, I got hi....aww damn, there he goes"...lol.
Lonnie Aspinwall hahaha no doubt!
nice!!
Stock tires? That's even better!
With tires 11.6 11.5
Awesome video man! Still can't believe you were able to hit high 11's on those stock skinny tires! That's amazing! Are you planning on getting some drag radials for it this season?
More than likely..yes. I need to stop beating on my daily tires, even if its ssoooo much fun ..lol. I'm looking at stepping down to an 18" wheel out back so I can get a 27" tall tire. Leaving that many rpm untouched through the traps has me curious if there are gains to be had.
Lonnie Aspinwall racestars are 17" and fit our cars perfect and aren't all the expensive either, lightweight too.
That's my other option. Only thing about the Race Stars is I hate the lug/offset washer arrangement you have to use. I had a full set for my '15 Mustang, and they are a PITA to swap on race day. I found an 18" wheel I want to try thats fairly cheap. There's an 18" 555R Nitto that is almost 27" tall..26.87..that I've run before and works great. If it doesn't work, can always sell them and go the RS route.
Lonnie Aspinwall they changed their lug setup a few years back. I heard they used to suck but apparently they have a better setup now. I can't say for sure though as I haven't mounted mine yet
This was a year ago, so I have no idea. Hopefully they stopped with the offset washer mess, and went to something better. I did have the old Type 94 wheels, so that might have been the reason for the washer setup. I know it was a royal pita to swap wheels...put a lot of stress on the studs because of the tight clearance between lug and rim.
No idea what that comment means, but yes...auto trans. shifts a lot faster than ever possible with a manual.
I absolutely love my M6, shifting is extremely fun...but you're making me wish I went with the A8
I loved slamming gears over the years, but these new automatics are the way to go. Even if I didn't have a beat up left knee that forces me to drive an auto, still would have gone with the A8. It shifts lightning fast, never misses a gear, and will shift at the same rpm every time.
stock car? which mods you have?
Yep, it was a stock car with only the Hellcat lower air box and inlet tube. I was running on the stock 245 Eagle F1 tires too. Lots of trial and error to finally get it all dialed in.
@@lonnieaspinwall3862 I cannot get bellow mid 14s on my stock 392 srt. Mine has no launch control, and no mods at all. I wish I could go practice more often.
@@pacomonje It took a lot of trial and error, even with my years of drag racing experience. These cars make so much torque down low, it's a fine line between hooking and spinning. Where are you located? Higher elevation has a big impact on performance.
@@pacomonje beat those numbers in my old RT. lowest on my scat shaker rn 12.7 onlky one pull so far tho.
Hey nice runs. Is your car still fully stock?
Thanks, and only mod is a Hellcat lower air box. I did swap out the mid mufflers for Dynomax mini race bullets, but those were for better sound. Stock exhaust on these cars flows very well for an OEM.
Lonnie Aspinwall so intake and exhaust then...
Not even intake and exhaust. The Hellcat air box is only the lower half of the air box. Dimensionally, exact same as the factory one. Exhaust is still oem, only a muffler swap. The stock system is VERY efficient and high flowing, so it was a sound change no performance gains.
how much tire pressure were u running curious
I usually start out at 40 front. 26 rear and adjust the rears as needed. The F1's seem to like 24-25 to really work best if the track is hooking.
Nice
Any weight removed for this run? As in swaybar, jack & tools, rear seats etc..?
Ryan Cardin Nope, she was full weight, right down to the heavy factory wheels.
And what was the DA for these runs?
Ryan Cardin roughly -150 or so, nothing spectacular. Only mod at the time was the Hellcat lower air box and inlet tube. I was still figuring out launch rpm, tire pressure, etc.
automatic. .....
how drooone
how drroooOOOOONEEE
