These are the numbers 97cavie24ls' qaud-4 cavy that I ran against in the second run. It's a 4 door auto. This was the best time he's ever cut in his car. He beat me by a bit cause of the launch and I just about had him at the end, but ran out of track. By 3rd gear I was reeling him in hard but it wasn't enough. Damn your traction!

ExHondaMan 10-22-2005, 02:01 PM bulldog you have the yellow cobalt w/ hood ?
BullDog71ss 10-22-2005, 02:07 PM Yes, yes I do.
ExHondaMan 10-22-2005, 02:10 PM I saw you run a 15 something :p:
I went over to the In&Out on Ray and I-10.... didnt see any SS or Cavys.... So i just took off over to Firebird and watched the races.... Who had the stock black ss... eeekk his times sucked !
*EDIT* Oh ya... some schmuck was standing next to me when you ran the 15.... After you ran he was like "Yeah thats all those cobalts are good for stock anyways... my SRT would smoke that thing" .... I was gonna say something to him.... but.. probably wouldnt do any good anyways.. :lol:
BullDog71ss 10-22-2005, 02:22 PM I bet the schmuck didn't see my mid 14 sec pass then. I launched it from 800 rpm, heh. I mostly just took off like I was at a stoplight in a bit of a hurry.
The one he saw was my 2nd run..it was a 15.2, but lets not talk about that. I tried to launch at 1500 rpm while slipping the clutch. God, I thought it was gonna rattle teeth out of my head it wheel hopped so bad.
The track was worse lastnight then I've ever seen it. Stupid ass fun ford bs weekend. I had to listen to my asshole Ford buddy rant and rave about that shit all night...ugh. Then he tried to tell me how he could drive my car way better and it was impossible for my car to grab with both tires without the LSD. He kept calling it a peg leg. I hate that guy when he drinks.

LOL.... Damn drunks...
Ya i saw your mid 14 pass... looked like you got a really decent launch... atleast compared to the other SS that was out there anyways.... What mods do you have ? I could hear the SC pretty well .. CAI ?
Ive never ran at firebird before... So i figured I would go and watch.. see what was going on down there... I may run here pretty soon..
BullDog71ss 10-22-2005, 02:32 PM Actually, it was a horrid launch, because it wasn't a launch at all. My 60 foot times are just pathetic, but there's nothing I can do to really improve that as of now. Who had the black SS anyway?
The only thing done is the CAI. I wish you would have come down to the pit lanes and talked to me. I was hoping to meet some more of the SS crowd in Az. You better come to the pavs tonight!!! :-D

I didnt mean it was a great launch... :lol: ... I meant better then whoever had that black one... He was havin issues...
Ill go to Pavs tonight... Is anyone gonna meet before hand so we can line up ? Will they actually be there this time ... :rolleyes:
BullDog71ss 10-22-2005, 03:00 PM Where do you wanna meet up at...I'm coming on the 101 north from east mesa.
ExHondaMan 10-22-2005, 03:08 PM Im coming from cactus and sr51... Any suggestions ?
BullDog71ss 10-22-2005, 05:58 PM Meh, I sawy we just get there at 6 or so which is early enough to get some spots. I usually show up at 730-8
SS4ME 10-22-2005, 06:07 PM Those are some terrible 60ft. times. Don't mash the gas soo hard in 1st and you will improve the 60ft. times! I run 2.2 60ft times with slower ET's. Try rolling on the pedal!
mchat 10-23-2005, 12:55 AM Firebird on a "street car" night... well lets put it this way, you'd get better traction on an ice-rink.
Eddie 10-23-2005, 02:25 PM nice buldog, not to shabby at all, lil more practce an i can see u cuttin 14.3-4 easily. does youc car have the lsd?

No LSD. The problem isn't wheel slip or spin though. It's massive wheel hop.
And I'm not mashing on the gas either. If I do anything more than 1/4 throttle from idle it goes into wheel hop mode. So I just kinda have to put off the line at a snails pace.
Like mchat said, that damn track sucks for traction. It's like a bowling alley it's so slick.
If I'm at a stop light on the street I can outlaunch my buddies modded 5.0, and he's a great driver.
OniMirage 10-24-2005, 04:18 PM /sigh the black ss as im sure your aware was me :cry:
but all is well considering it was my first time at fireslip (firebird) or at a track period. My best was a 14.9 all stock so I know I will do better. If you guys can commit to racing one night or meeting up before the races I will most likely go again but being alone at the start of the races then leaving because I saw no support was pissin me off.
OniMirage 10-24-2005, 04:19 PM by the way im completly stock and will stay that way until tax return time comes around
OniMirage 10-24-2005, 04:21 PM so if I get even remotely close to you guys with mods all I can say is ... ^ ^
