I just find it funny that you are arguing with someone that has a car that would DESTROY you.

 

correction...joking, not arguing

 

im pretty sure ralliartist's balt is hooked up and would give you a solid mushroom tattoo that would last a few weeks

 

i could care less about his car
we werent even talking about his

 

^lmao

 

mushroom tattoo...thats all i have to say

 

you are more then welcome to get one as you are pretty much obsessed with it...but no...none of the such for me, thanks

 

Yeah, I ran my first time this weekend and slapped a 13.827 @ 104.5 with a 2.265 60'. Stock (muffler delete - that's all)

 

I'm ashamed of you guys

OP, you had bad luck that is all.

Reaction time doesn't matter unless you are competing, most suggest waiting 2 or 3 seconds before launching. That way you won't be as pressured and be more likely to screw it up and fry your clutch. It's also a way to let everyone know you are a novice who is trying to learn.

Keep on trying man.

 

It was my first time out and I didn't have anything to prove. I didn't want to break the car, but now I am confident that it won't break easily, so next time I can push it hard from start to finish.

I guarantee if I or anyone else did this on the street in view of police they would get pulled over and ticketed for racing. Racing does not mean the car was going as fast as it possibly could go, by that definition only one person in the world could race a Cobalt and everyone else would be a casual driver.

I did fail, lol. But I learned a lot and had fun.

Great time that's awesome. My goal is to come within a second of your time.

Good suggestion.

 

well guys, add it to my kill list. i'm officially faster than a tc with more than 100hp less then him lol.

for the first time out, and having not driven the car much, good job.

 

Damn dude!! If the person racing doesnt race their car up to YOUR top notch standards you are a ruthless D*ckhead to them IMO!! How about you just dont come into the drag racing section anymore. Not everyone likes to launch their car hard and shift as great as they can their first time out, especially those new to FWD and manual tranny cars. I seriously aint trying to be a d*ck towards you, but every thread I've been in where someone went to the track and they didnt meet or exceed their cars standards you have been nothing but negative.

 

i'm not saying hes bad at driving or his car sucks or anything. i think its great he brought the car out to the track. i'm just sayin, in my eyes. i wouldn't call "racing a car down the 1/4 track" when you leave at idle, baby 1st, and hit WOT midway through second

sorry that i'm an avid racer and get in to these things.

 

It's all good man, I just noticed alot of your posts and comments are kinda harsh that is all.

 

well if people go to the track and dont run the car. or run a super shitty time. yeah, i'm gonna critizise 'em

 

I criticize, but I offer advice as well to make them better!

 

yeah me too, they just gotta ask

 

wat do u launch at? do u use launch control.

 

I launch at 2400 rpms. LC is too high and I had no success with it even on the street practicing!

 

ya but lc would still get u a better time and 60 foot then his 15.9 and 2.7 60

 

hahah no, no it wouldn't net a better 60' time

 

lol it would almost have too a 2.7 come on lol

 

i thought you were talkin to wanted

 

o lol no to the op

 

yeah, LC yields greater 60's.

Granted, my 60 could use some work, but I've only tracked once and was pleased so far with my 60s.
