My self, a few buddies and a few guys from the Ontario Cobalt Club went to St. Thomas dragway today and I was looking to improve on my time from mid summer which was a best of 14.80 at almost 96 mph. It was raining like **** down here in Toronto and the forecast in St. Thomas called for a sunny, clear afternoon so we figured WTF let's go! The launchpad was still really damp from the rain and second gear could not hook up for the life of me! It was so goddam frustrating as I have the Fujita CAI intake in now and was consistently running 14.7's at 99 mph or so with a best of 14.68 at 99 pmh. I sat and watched for a little while til the sun came out and then a half hour before the track closed I said F**k IT, ONE MORE TIME!!! I ran a 14.7 again!!! The guy handing out slips told me to do one more and he'll wait so I did and got a decent launch but it felt like every other and when I got the slip......




I'm #183. This car is consistently running 3-4 mph faster than before the intake and I'm sure if the track was I little drier then I could have shaved maybe a tenth of the 60 ft time and really believe I could have ran a 14.4 or so, I mean the mph is there so the car is making power. I guess I'll have to wait until next spring when I have more goods under the hood

 

Nice ET and trap speed!

Question - What were you racing against?

 

My buddy in a 05 Stang GT with a flowmaster cat back.

 

Nice Looks like the Fujita intake is working well. That's the original one you put on right?

 

Yep the replacement should be here in about a week or so. You should have come out Rob

 

That's AWESOME man! Good work.

 

I just got back from my road trip to Philly. I couldn't get a break at the roulette wheel in Atlantic City. Lot's of driving fun though.

 

Here's mine. Hard to see because the original slip is very lightly printed. Bone stock 2006 SS/SC with added weight of side airbags. LSD equipped.

First time I've ever been to a track, let alone drive on one!! Best run of the day: 14.646 @ 98.63 mph

 

Nice run! Just wondering, what were you racing against? Looks like he had terrible traction problems.

 

I think it was the other stock 05 SS that was with us.

 

Yep. it was Matt's.

 

Well if I'd known you guys ended up going to St. Thomas I would have come out for the day...this is where cell phone #s would be a good thing to have . I decided not to go to Cayuga because the forecast was **** and I wasn't all about driving two hours and taking a chance that I got there and it was pouring rain and the track was closed.

Nice runs anyways, hopefully I can make it out next time (and by the looks of it that'll be next year) you guys head down to St Thomas for the afternoon. As for second gear I can't even get my damn LS to stick in second gear at St Thomas...hell last time I chiped into going into third and the temperature that night was about the same as it was in London today...at least it looks like all the sensors were still working.

Permafried-

 

I was thinking of you the whole ride down but I didn't have your number handy since it's in my PM's and I didn't have access to the Internet all day (lol)!! Next year, for sure...let's do it!!

 

As we entered London I thought to call you but then I realized, no phone number.

 

good times guys. I woulda come out but I was way up north of Peterborough, can't wait till next year.

 

Hey no worries . Glad the weather held out for you guys all day and that you had a good time...especially since that makes for quite the haul from TO . I'll be getting a new number once my contract expires later this year so once I get that done I'll PM it to both of you as soon as I get it before I forget!
