*Yawns* Put it in I and launch with I when you reach 3rd gear slap it in "D" on the track. Traction control means nothing at this point. You want the car in 4th before the end of the track.

 

thought the auto's were only a 3 speed

 

4-speed autos have been the norm for a long time now - I don't think you can find a new car with a 3-speed transmission anymore. Actually, lots of new cars have 5 and 6 speed automatic transmissions.

 

yeah but i was sure the balt was a 3

 

negative, it's a 4 w/overdrive

 

i see i don't look down when i drive my girls car much

 

lol my focus trapped 85 in the 1/4 lol and that was the end of second gear

 

damn 85 in second

 

i took my car to the track about a month ago and i ran a embarassing 16.5 @84mph. i was hoping for a little more(or less) than that. so now i am getting the 2.4L intake mani and a header and downpipe combo. does any one have any idea on how much this will effect my hp and drag times?

o. and it was somewhere around 95 degrees when i ran my car.

 

depends on the wether to cooler air is better

 

i should have everything on within the next three weeks, and down here in tx you can wear shorts into all most the end of november so i was hoping it will get cooler sooner this year.

 

go on a nice cool day and get some 15's

 

lol his car wont hit 15s on a cool day..

 

no but with the mods i would guess a high 15

 

not even a 15.9? lol

 

lol all he has is a catback and an intake.... but then again he has larger rims so it will slow him down.. lol on a cool day im saying 16.2 tops

 

i thought he was going back after full exhaust and the 2.4 mani

 

i was talking about after i get the intake mani, header, and downpipe...

 

i thought so

 

yea after your mods.. and a cool day. yea youll get 15s for sure.. once i get my tune and header/dp combo ill be 14s. and i wanna get my nitrious kit and hit high 13s

 

with the mods he is talking of adding its possible especially if he was running 16.5 on a 95 degree day.

he is talking about going on a cooler day and his car will be breathing much easier and freely

 

but then again i have a 2.4

 

yeah i want my 12's soon enough though

 

i was acctually thinking of nitrous.. but i m not sure about it yet. Any downsides about doing something like that?

 

i ran a 15.5 on a 100 degree day lol.
