JamieP Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Really really fast Auto's are the king of drag strips, you need a lot more power in a 6 speed supra to beat an auto down the drag strip. Mines only really really fast from a rolling start thats why i dont drag, like i say one day when the box is in there I hate 0mph starts due to lag of the auto transmission on the single Or if i can borrow my bros 6 speed manual Or if it was a rolling start i d be doing it lol *Anyway like Scotty says lets get back to people putting there names down the the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilkorangerover Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 All you need to do is install LAUNCH CONTROL. Install launch control and get rid of the slow start , get some 17s on the rears and rip out the ice to get some good times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Install launch control and get rid of the slow start , get some 17s on the rears and rip out the ice to get some good times All depends what you think 'good times' are 15" unstead of 17" make more sense There is a lot less to go wrong running an auto up the strip,for a 1/4mile virgin don't worry about not having a 'proper' gear box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do I think I might arrange a mini meet to come meet you guys I know mate. A TT6 too. There will be a short amount of time where I hate you, but I'll get over it haha I'd be up for a mini meet mate. I have a little brake problem at the moment, but nothing that would stop me venturing down. I usually wander down and meet the Chesterfield guys. Where are you based? Most Supras will be tucked up nicely in garages being read to each night. Mine isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
