I cut 1.50 60' all day on ET streets, launching at 8000rpms and dropping it. My friend Willie is now cutting 1.45's on ET streets and he launches at 8500rpms.

I did notice it came out of the hole alot smoother than when i had just rev it up and dumped the clutch, this could change though with more pressure. All in all im looking for the best 60 i could achieve without serious damage or chassic and suspension work.

Are you people dropping the clutch off the rev limiter to achieve these 1.5 short times?

This isnt mine, but my friends crx just ran a 1.2 60' today at woodburn raceways in oregon. Its a drag car, but its engine is hardly built, only internal mods are hardend sleaves and hardend pistons to accomidate the 24psi from a big t3/t4. But yeah ... I figured I would mention that since we were talking about 60 foot times. I have never seen a fwd car pull that kind of 60'. It was also a 10.6 second pass.

1.78 60ft
on summitomo 265 X 45 ....160 tread wear rating is the trick.
Nitto 555 drag are only 100. So 160 on a true street tire is awsome.
Have posted vid of launch before.I can get down more but that wiil wait for new motor.

NEW best 60 foot for my RX7 1.557 
Would have had a deep pass but I lost control of the car after the 330 mark and crossed over into the other lane. Scared the feces out of me.

I was able to cut my 1.557 by bouncing tha car off the rev limiter (8100 rpm) and the dropping the clutch. I'm able to build about 5 lbs at the line that way.
Does anyone else have a problem with their ET Streets walking all over the place down the track? Scares the crap out of me!

I had a 2.1 with Pirelli P7000 Supersports at full inflation (32PSI) with no burnout.... dumped the clutch with 4500RPMs... not much in the way of mods for my car (dp, catback, intake, underdrive pulley, M2 stage 2 ECU)....
