These ET ST Rs are a better tire than the S/S and they were aired down to 25PSI, I do not believe they spun at all. All 4 runs I believe they did not spin one bit.
One thing is I did experience wheel hop during burnout with this car/tires that I NEVER had with the 2001. I'm wondering what the cause is and how to stop that. This is what I was afraid of with IRS vs solid axle.
I was wondering what your opinion is on this and what your door sticker says because you have basically the same car I do? https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=619404
Yeah see, exactly my point. There's way too many unknowns and variables to figure that situation out. I did a quick search to try and find more info about that car but that pass was never posted on here. Iv never posted any "corrected" stuff so I have no idea. It only adds to the unknowns/variables.
Let me know about what you have on your door sticker I'm curious what ya got  |
Joe, I never got any wheel hop whatsoever. Perfectly smooth burnouts. My only advice is get the RPM and wheel speed up very quickly (like 5500rpm) in 1st gear and immediately paddle up to second gear and maintain the RPM while holding the car steady.. My GVW info is within two lbs of yours. I used some neighbors scales to weigh my LT1, 3600 LBS on the button with a full tank of fuel, Front sway bar off, front bumper reinforcement off, all the plactic off the engine and under the front, w/s washer tank removed and back seat removed 28lbs. That equates to over 50 lbs off the nose of the car.
