nice ed, what was ur mph?? U should be good for a mid 13s in edmonton...(better traction and lower elevation) it might be worth the trip

 

My best trap speed for the night was 101.85 mph. I'm going to wait a bit, but I do plan on hitting another track this year.

 

sidejam, what tires you runnning?

 

tiem slip is in the car.. ill get it, i still hate the fact i only hit a 17.0XX, wat a **** off, first time EVER at the track racing, im goin back!! i thought id hit atleast a low 16...

 

Hes running Lexxani I beleive.

 

Soory bout the quality, had it in my pocket all night and it got wrecked so its a little hard to read. but its there. btw: jekyl were you heading out to opsco on 43 sunday moring around 7-8 am? though i saw your truck go by.

 

On the front, I'm running Nexen N3000 235/40/17's. The rear have the same tires, but in the stock size (215/45/17). They're nice and cheap and at the track, they respond well to tire pressure changes. I picked them up at Contemporary Motorsports in Calgary.

 

Naw Cruisn, I havent worked in 2 1/2 months..... wasnt me you saw lol.

 

let me drive your car I can get a low 16--hehe. How bad was your 60ft? Was your shifting real slow?

I have never gotten that bad. Hopefully you will improve. I went 16.2@85mph stock.

Then a 15.72@91mph on a real cool night --last year

 

i think next mod for me will be tire related
these giant ass 18s are getting frustrating.

 

Get the tag turbo kit lol

 

im not sure what my 60 was, but g/f doesnt like when i go, i wouldve went again on friday but she was scared i would crash or get hurt.... no quick shifts, my but R/T was .649 or some **** and 60ft wasnt great either...

again slips in the car, ill check it out when i get home, i just pretty annoyed that i ran that slow, i know i can runa low 16...but now i cant cuz g.f is scared.

What octane are 2.4s suppose3d ot run at, the lady who sold me the car said regular was good and i was like umm... i dont think so, 89 or 91??

 

regular is fine.

premium is only recommended for the 2.0L supercharged engines.

Also. .649 reaction time is really slow. You must not have left the line untill after ur eyes saw the green. Next time, as soon as u see the last yellow then launch. But the reaction time doesnt effect your ET.

Ur car isnt fast enough to be dangerous on the track IMO. Tell ur gf that... lol

yeah, you need alot of practice but when u get it, ull notice ur times dropping significantly.

 

yea i was reading the manual for my car and it said something about 2.4 need higher then 87 or they get a spark knock or some **** and it slows acceleration down?

yea i saw the green light and was oh crap.... i know im supposed to launch at the last yellow but for th first time on teh track i was little overwhelmed and **** just runing through my head and forgot .. haha!! i was thinking on my way up... 3rd yellow, 3rd yellow... and i didnt... normally i can do a high .1xx or low .2xx, been practicing... but..

and i know its not dangerous... yet... but shes jsu scared cuz she saw a corvette lose grip and drift towards the wall, i was like hun... i dont haven even close to the power it has.. yet :P

i wanted to go again that night but she was upset so...

 

Jekyl, make an honorable mention list, then you can stick non delta bodies on the list like yourself and n/adc5 on the list, and anyone else who hangs on the site, think there are a few srt-4's, gives us an idea of what our competition will be. I went out a couple of Fridays ago, but apparently you’re not allowed to race in shorts, but you can in a t-shirt...stupid rule. Going to try and get out there again one of these days, but looking at stealing my buddy’s 16" steelies with snow tires, got to beat that 13.9 @ 109 from last year lol. Thinking the snow tires might be able to hook up alot better as well as not have to worry about spinning those heavy and huge 18" tires.

 

Good idea about the honorable mention list. I will add it now. Thanks.

Soon as you run this year get ur timeslip up asap lol

 

yah honorable mention is a good idea.


james you really think winters would hook better than the pirellis?!?

 

maybe not so much the tires, just the smaller diameter wheel. We will see, might do a couple of passes with both the 18's and the 16's.

 

wont you have to shift into fourth, jmac, if you drop diameter.

 

never listen to S/C guys about the 2.4L octane Cody.....geeze man....

91 Octane--says right in the owners manual. You can run lower but power will drop a bit.

 

i may try the winters out, they are a very soft rubber with lots more sidewall.

right now im shopping for a set of azenis RT615s to put on my steelies during the summer.

 

Mike, Ur gonna have to take a picture of where it says in the 2.4L owners manual that premium is required.

It might be "recommended" but im pretty sure they will run with no problems at all on 89 oct.

The 2.0L however are "required" to run on 91 octane minimum.

 

trust me on this Cody...I have an 06 and 07 Cobalt. I read the manual. They changed the wording from 06-07 but the meaning is the same.

The 2.0 will run on less then 91 too---it'll run like **** though.

I put 1 tank of 87 in a few weeks ago---my 2.4L ran like crap. At a light it was shaking and the dash was rattling.

This topics been convered to death here....just go to the 2.4L and ask. You'll see I am right.

I'd take a pic but my camera is dying Just trust me on this

 

 

whats that supposed to mean?
