1/4 mile results inside

Seems like as you get used to the car, your numbers will be even better. Good job mate.

Yep looks like everything you did is the same things I did. Our times were pretty close to one another and 13.369 is a GREAT time for this car for your first night at the track. I am curious still how many miles you have or had on the car when you got to the track? It does make a difference. The better broken in your car is the better it could possibly run. I know as my car became more broken in and I was able to push it a little harder my times definately improved. Also Im glad you got into the 13.3's! It proves my thoughts that I was capable of getting 13.3's bone stock had I waited a lil longer on the intake. Im looking forward to this next weekend tho, now that the ECU is well adjusted to the intake Im looking to see times in the high 13.1's. Keep up the good work man, and let us know if you post up any faster times while still stock.

Thanks.

I had between 1150 and 1180 miles on the car when I made my first run.

Temps were in the high 40's (probably contributed to the fast times).

Humidity was in the high 70's.

This is also good to see these times and such because it gives a nice little comparison between my straigth base model and your base sport model! I don't really think in a straight 1/4 mile race the tires and rims and wing would make much of a difference but they might!

Good job. The Converter on the car is stock and only allows a stall of 1500 rpm's. Judging by the 60' times on Run #3 it appear you really spun the tires when you left the starting line on that run. That's why the times are so different.

just my $.02 from an old Drag Racer.



P.S. You Red Lighted is the reason you beat the other guy by 2 cars lengths.

When the video is finally up, you'll see that the run shows a completely different story to your thoughts. The times don't match the run. Youtube is taking forever.

mspeasl

Please do the math between all of the runs. You'll see that they are about the same except for the 60' of run 3. when you deduct the difference of 3 and the others you will see they all are about the same then. When I see that it tells me you spun the tires. Please speak to a drag racer in your area and show them the ET slips and ask their opinion.

Thanks

I think i get it now. I red lighted (time started), i did not take off till his green light (so we left at approximately same time), i pulled and completed the run first, but the second and a half i sat there is why my times are way off, even though my MPH are spot on.

mspeasl

Sorry I made that assumption, In the world of Drag Racing your times reflected spinning tires. However, I did not consider that this must be your first time to the strip (judging by the video's). (Please no insult is meant because everyone has to start somewhere. Even those of us that have been around the strip for years did the very same things you did our first times) You will learn and your times will get faster. The reason your Mile Per Hour was the same However, is it is measured during the last 60 feet of the race. Your ET however, is determined in the first 60 feet. Good luck and have a lot of fun at the Strip.

P.S. While you are there, Stay Safe.

the good news with this is that even though I'm currently a terrible noob driver, I could still pull off a 13.3 with this amazing car in stock form, and with an auotomatic!!!
