so i went to a car show today, it was import faceoff@san antonio raceway, after they judged my car, i went to run, my first run i ran a 16.1, which didnt bother me, since the last time i was at the track i ran a 16.5@83mph, so it was a improvement i was happy, well i et back in line, this time i push the car hru the line instead of driving it,i lined up with orngbalt, he ran a 19 cuz he stalled out in first, and i ran a 15.7@85mph, i was so dam happy, all my hard work has pay'd off, i managed to shave almost a whole second off my time

and for those that dotn believe, heres a pic of my car waiting in line ro tun, notice im number 8, and than look at the slip


my mods so far are:
ebay cai;
aem dryflow;
lsj header;
lsj downpipe;
lsj catback;
shot shifter;
turbo tech trany mounts.
my car weighed in at 2800 punds with me in it

next im thinking of getting me some new tires for the front, i have some 195's in the front, which is the stoc size, im thinking of going into some 215's, either that or getting the solid engie mount from turbo tech racing, what do ya'll think?

moved to drag racing

 

nice times man, i was trapping 86 at the track last time... in the 1/8th lol

 

Don't pick on him. He gets better gas milage than you and paid less than you. Not everyone NEEDS a fast car.

(this is not a claim that women don't drive fast cars, just fewer than men. Some men have an ego problem.)

 

hmm, I get 33 mpg on the highway...and 26 city...

nice runs man.

oh, and more proof that these cars do NOT curb at 2991. they curb that with passengers and gas n ****!

 

For the ss/sc you have add the entire supercharger set-up, leather seats, heavier wheels,etc it all adds up.

 

My SS/SC weighed 2875 without me or the spare tire and about a half tank of gas.

Oh, and to the OP - nice run!

 

Nice run, I'm hoping to get into the 15's when I run in the Spring.

 

Nice job.

I need to get to a 1/4 mile track-there is only a 1/8th around here...

 

is you car an auto or manual?

 

my car is a manual, im going back to the track sometime in january, by than i should have the solid engine mount aswell, as some wider tires, i have some 195's, im going 205 or 215, i want that 60@atmost 2.3, im getting 2.4 right now

 

nice! i am looking to run times similar to those after i put on my Header and D/P from ZZP. i also have a K&N SRI intake.

 

my ss/sc 07
No sunroof

full weight without me

2950lb

 

2007 2.2L LS loaded 2670lbs

 

i wish my car was that light, i took out the spare, the jack, i left al the misc thing in though, when i go back im takin out the door panels, the rear seats, and the passenger seat, and ma have some wider tires along with a solid engine mount im getting from TTR

 

FYI, this might be able to help you out with removing the the seats

how to: Weight Reduction

 

yea bro get some engine mounts, tranny mounts, it helps alot on the wheel spin. also did u lower ur tire pressure? that also helps, i think u might hit a 15.5 or so...cause the none wheel hop helps so damn much

 

yeah thanks 4 the link, but i know how to remove everything already, i actually saw that the "how to" on it back when it was first posted and i didnt drop the pressure, i should have, but i didnt wanna bother with it

 

4 tents faster, you could keep up with my ram! j/k

 

Nice news about the improvements! I ran my 1st time ever my "at the time" stock 2.2L at 16.9 at NOPI New England.... now with mods and a bit more exprience hoping for mid-low 15s this season

 

your car looks SICK

 

thanks, i have the BC2 body kit sitting in the garage right now, so it will look even better after i get rid of that LS body, im a be working on installing the kit tommorow, ima roll with it primered grey for a while though, but oh well

 

yeah....and finishing in the 14's still...


Nice times Jn2.
