I did the Burnout to clean the Tires a little bit. But Yeah I didnt change Tire pressure. And that .251 was my R/T my 60ft was 2.38 for that run.

you always drive around the waterbox.

yea water box you always avoid, spin the tires after you go around it.

pretty much what slow swap said. unless your on slicks you want to avoid the water box completely UNLESS you have slicks and plan on warming them up. go around the water box then as your about to go up to the lights give your tires a quick spin to clean them off. work on your launches a bit aswell and you will see the times go down. good luck.

As was already said, water box = the devil for street tires. No burnouts, just a quick clean off spin. Work on the launch.

Decent run though man! Saw the 2.5 60' and thought "damn 15's FTL".

if that was the first time out with the cobalt, and it is stock i say you did a good job.

you guys have it all wrong. the solution is not avoiding the water box, its buying tires that can actually benefit from a big burnout.

OP, its all about practice man. just keep trying

You're also in Oregon, altitude is probably higher too.

If you want the fastest ET's, go to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. Everyone gets obnoxiously fast ET's there. For example, a stock 2011 Mustang GT will run low 12s with just rear suspension mods at that track. So if you want bragging rights, head over to Cecil.

Thanks for the Advice Guys. And thats a Little to far to drive Metro, but thanks.

I wasn't being totally serious!

FWIW, the stock tires aren't that grippy. I have traction issues just driving aggressively. They're decent tires, but for straight line acceleration you want something that sticks better to reduce your traction loss.

Driving when it is cooler (denser oxygen mix in the air) and at a lower altitude also helps a lot.
