...in the 1/8th mile

seriously tho, what should a 2.4 be doing in the 60' i feel that i am losing most at that point because i have so much trouble getting traction.

 

So you would run a approx. 20.522 in the 1/4 mile and you have traction issues?

 

no... you are still accelerating afterwards... you don't hit top speed by 1/8th mile.

Lets see some more information from your slip...


I am not fully sure but that sounds like a high 15's in the 1/4

 

you're right on the money, that should net approx a 15.8

reaction. .393
sixty foot 2.406
660 10.261
mph 71.45

for comparison, the last 1/4 i ran was...

reaction .772
sixty foot 2.475
330 6.865
660 10.405 @ 69.57
1000 13.419
1/4 15.947 @ 88.25

 

well a 2.4 60' does suck, get some DR's and go back

 

well, that's my point, i'm a **** driver, i know that... i'm just curious what people that do well are running in the 60 foot.

i'm not even worried about reaction at the moment, i'm not a bracket racer.

 

Man it sounds like someone needs a driver mod lol JK JK what rpms are you launching from that could play a role...

 

i've played around with it, seems that my best runs are launching around 2k, but even that, i'm spinning through first pretty well. i'm thinking that i may also just have **** tires. i shouldn't have the power to just spin them at will.

 

okay you dont have an ETD do you??? I lauch from about 2.5k-3k thats what i suggest... but thats me...

 

if you mean the torque dampener, then no, i don't.

i have poly filled mounts, which helped a lot, but i'm still not where i really need to be.

 

you should be able to dip into the reallly low 2's if not 1.8's without dr's

 

so, i should be looking for around a two even? thanks.

a 2.1 is a good 60ft time for street tires just more time practicing at the track is all you need

 

yeah try easing into the gas a little easyer man, should be able to get some pretty kick ass times out of that.

 

that's what i am thinking.

most peoples ideas are of the "just throw money at it" variety.

this is the first 5 speed front drive car that i have ever had the "pleasure" of taking down a raceway....

 

yeah when i go sometime i get excited and i'm like green light GO! *foot to floor* but I've calmed down and i'm really getting my 60's down and you will to just takes time man.

 

Yup just keep practicing and you'll get better.

There was a how-too i believe on launching a car which gave me a few good pointers that I wasn't doing.

 

thanks for the "your cars ugly" rep, real cute
