I did three 1/8 mile runs a couple weeks ago just to test out the Dragy and was able to get the following numbers with a 6spd on 205/55/16 Kumho Solus all season tires. I was at level 5 on 87 octane. I had no traction for the 1st and 2nd but third was good and I got out of the gas early since I did not realize I had not finished the 1/8th mile yet.

9.52s at 76.5mph

60ft 2.42s

Today I tried again several times. But this time I tried level 5 and 7, traction on and off and had better traction with the 235/45/17 Continental dws06 1st gear was still a bust but second gear able to see some traction. I also discovered that even though if feels like it hits a rev limiter at around 6200 I was able to drive through it and stay in third gear. Here is the best I could do however. I did about ten runs and they all fell into the 9.5s-9.6s range with the 60ft at 2.4-2.6s no matter what I tried.

9.53s at 78mph

60ft 2.42s

I even did one run starting off in 2nd gear and only shifting once for 3rd gear

9.63s at 77.4mph

60ft 2.59s

My best 0-60 was 6.1s with 1ft rollout. I did get that number a few times.

I really thought I would be able to get a better 1/8 mile time than I did with the power I have, I don't think there is much I can do until I can figure out how to get traction and lower the 60ft time. I knew having an open front differential and a 6spd would make traction tough but that is the trade off I had to make to get an affordable 6spd that is fun to drive.
