i don't have any mod's except a N1 exhaust. i know it's slow. I know it's not a real SS. I know i have no business drag racing. but the flashlight drags are in this weekend and i though i might give it a try and have some fun. anyone got tips?? thanks.

 

Your an auto so when you stage make sure your the first to stage and hit the brake 3 times the hold it down and put your gas all the way down to the floor and your car will only rev to 2100 rpms at least mine does and the as soon as you see the last yellow light light up let go of the brake and you will get an awesome reaction time and good take off.

Mine when i did it my reaction times were always around .110

 

thanks man should i leave it in L the whole time?

 

do flashlight drags run a 1/4 or 1/8th mile?

 

1/8

 

no dont leave it in L. leave it in D
i just floored the car on the last yellow light and my reaction time was .003

 

I'd leave it in I honestly. When I leave it in D the car seems to shift a few hundred rpm's earlier in 1st. Could be wrong though.

 

well my car is tuned and it works best to me.

 

That might be why. the tune might be letting the car rev out a bit more. Then again Im an 08 so who knows what all they changed.

 

no idea. ive never ran my car at the track without the tune. i wouldnt know the difference

 

i actually shift myself from low to intermediate and thats it because it will shift itself at about 6200 rpm from 2nd to 3rd and then your done

 

6200? When I get my car back from the bodyshop Im going to need to check.

Pretty sure it shifted at 6500 rpms in any gear when left in D.
But when L or I it would shift at 6700-6800rpm in 1st.

 

maybe it was i was to focused on the track no the tach.
mine gets there faster cause i have a smaller ud pulley

 

what do you run in the 1/4?

 

Stock is 6250 i think.

 

flashlight drags actually use a flashlight lol there is no tree
and if you are going to the ones in waynesburg pa there is a good amount of fast cars there. Most of the time it is a good show.
I may make it out

 

i havent been since i added header/downpipe and a more aggressive tune.
i ran 15.5 with intake,exhaust lsj tb and a weak tune.
im hoping to hit a 14.9 with my new mods.

 

.6 is a lot of time. maybe that tune will clean up alot of it though. amazing the different in the times from an Auto to a stick. i ran 14.9 with a K&N SRI and a cat back.

Joker - If it were me, put the car in L and load it up on the converter, IIRC the autos will shift to 2nd for you, not sure if you will need to bump it up to 3rd or if you will go through the traps first

 

im going to get new tires to. the ones i raced on were almost bald. sedans are a couple hundred pounds more than a coupe also..

 

autos SUCK in these cars

 

i guess..i still win some races that surprise me lol

 

i just put the s/c on 2 weeks ago and im bored already

 

thats why im not going to waste my money on a kit. i know i will want more. thats why i plan on getting something faster later after this one is paid off

 

since youre 2006 get ZZPs turbo kit

 

im not waisting my money on that.
