Frank, in the 2 runs that I saw him, was very consistent. 12.89X and 12.90X.

Shahid ran a 13.1XX for his first run, then this 14.4XX

Shahid needs the driver mod..lol... :bowrofl:
im sure he could run better with some more track times under his belt..

I think it was less Shahid's fault so much as lacking an LSD, in this case. Although Frank was just rolling out of the box - he wasnt even launching lol.

nice if he wasnt trying to launch hard then he should be able to run a tenth or so faster if he can find the sweet spot for rpm/wheel spin and get out of the hole a bit faster.

Run #1

13.1XX

Yeah I see a 12.7XX or so at least with a good launch.

yup yup, if he had slicks he could prob get to 12.5 with a hard launch with minimal wheel spin.. not a bad time at all for haveing basic bolt ons and a tune.. :tup:

This makes me want to try this badly.

Not at all. I remember years ago (around 2005 or so) in my almost-stock LS1 Camaro, when people ran up to my car once I ran a high 12 and how it was pretty quick. Ahhh, back when a low-300 HP V8 wasn't bad...

you should man.. the drag strip is a ton of fun. its a great way to learn shift points for your car. you can learn what rpm in what gear is best to shift at to maximise responce for the next gear... autocross is also tons of fun, u can learn breaking points for your car, what it can and can not do at different speeds threw different corners. it helps a lot when your having some fun doing spirited runs on back roads..

ah yes i remember those days.. if you could hit 12's u were the man.. i remeber people flipping out when my little miata with a zex kit on it ran 12.99. it was on my last run of the day too.. i was running consistant 13.1-13.2 all day long.. then i sat out for a few runs to let it cool down a bit.. the right before we left i did one last one and got a perfect launch and ran the 12.99. i was gitty...lol.. now tho so many cars can hit 12's it kinda crazy how far cars have come on the past few years..

Dude I got a Miata for you to take a ride in when we meet up at Carlisle. It poops on my Z even right now and the Miata is still be beefed up for more power. =/

im all about it..i love miata's iv owned 3 of them..lol..

Ever since seeing what they can do I have had a new respect for them. Truly amazing and cheap to mod.

This one is sitting at 190hp and 210tq. Just got a new manifold and turbo and VVT tuner and 3" exhaust. Should be around 250/250 mark. Then new rods and tranny hopefully before Carlisle for the 300/300 mark.


ALLLLSSSSOOOOOOO
Daddy got a new toy today...
