I think it all depends on the particular car, and of course the driver. I've seen a 96 RT/10 with high flow cats and catback and a Macedo tune go 11.5 before. It's not out of the question.

I'm hoping to get 11.5 out of my supercharged Bumblebee, I don't see anything close to stock nearing mid 11's...

[2001-V10 Power Nut]

Totally Stock 2001 RT/10, old tires, ran Gainesville Drag Strip, on nice cool day with slight breeze, and best time was 12.2 (approximately 15 runs)

Two months later ran Bradenton Drag Strip, on miserable hot day with high humidity, had drag radials on and best time was 12.5 (approximately 10 runs)

Alot will depend on your tires, the "track prep" and how hot or cool it is, but running anything under 12 would be highly unlikely if your Totally Stock

Definately do it, it was a blast on the Drag Strip.

Have your car checked out before you do it. Make sure half shafts are tight.

Ok, I went back and read your signature. you got a few mods, maybe you could creep into the High 11's. But just do it and dont worry about it. Check with some friends that have done it before to get launch RPM's, Tire pressure's etc. I was launching around 2000 RPM and slipping clutch slightly, I can remember what the tire pressure was, but I know we put alot more air in the front tires

Didn't say it was out of the question-just a slim chance of it happening; with the "easy" part being the question. The car you reference and WANTED's car-if it's not the same one, are about the only posted examples I can remember of cars with low mods running that kind of ET.

Mid 11s with simple stuff has always been very rare.


I managed an 11.80@120 on a so-so 1.8 60' time on DRs running my '99 GTS a year or so ago with some homemade exhaust mods (still using OE exhaust manifolds and rear muffler) and a tricked out OE airbox .


My '01 ACR is going to be quicker - just waiting for M/T to get those new DRs released to see what she'll do.

[97 gts vettslayr]

I have a 97 gts with no cats, 3" B&B cat back exhaust & smooth tubes w/ k&n filters. My best on Michelin Pilot's is 11.73@123.54 w/ a 1.85 60'. My best 60' is 1.79.

I have a 97 gts with no cats, 3" B&B cat back exhaust & smooth tubes w/ k&n filters. My best on Michelin Pilot's is 11.73@123.54 w/ a 1.85 60'. My best 60' is 1.79.

Good lord, you're trapping 123 mph with just those mods? My 2001 RT/10 has a Corsa, Smooth Tubes & K&N's and I consistantly trap 117.xx mph. I trapped 118 one time. I put down 428 to the wheels. Using a HP calculator, assuming your car weighs 3400 lbs with you in it, you're making 493 at the wheels???

Also, I'm on PS2's. My racetrack altitude is 1400 ft I believe.

Mopar Boy is taking his car down the track for the first time, with 3.73's on 20s!,

I have a 98gts sc running mid 10's, Good luck with the sc bumblebee. It'll be a blast But I also have halfshafts to support 1.60 60ft times.

[SidewinderGTS]

Motor Trend did the Viper GTS ACR in 12.19 @119.15mph
First time down the track ,take it easy to see how good the track is and with 3.73 you will be going side ways when shifting into second.
Good luck.
