well 1st time at track it was very very very fun. I got to run a total of 10 times in 2 hrs. Heres my best time on street tires All i gotta say is time for some more mods. Wheel hop sucked bad on a couple of runs. I did beat an 87 grand national tho.

reaction--- .5029
60 ft---2.2842
330 ft----6.3171
ET@594ft---8.9161
1/8 ET----9.5062
1/8 MPH----76.25
1/4 ET----14.5921
1/4 MPH----97.40

 

Was that your only run? Your trap seems low, was it really hot out?

 

no 55 degrees

I ran 10 times

 

Thats about stock times and less than stock trap. Something may be wrong with you car. Does anything feel wrong?

A lot of junk in your trunk or something?

 

What were your mods when you ran? You should be trapping a lot faster if you are running stage 1/2 with a 2.9".

 

not to bad for your first time at the track.

 

Great job man!!! Good 60' for your first time. It is a fine line between wheel hop or spinning.

 

with those mods you should be 14.0

 

yikes, you should be WAY faster

 

yeah I kinda thought that as well. Presuming he is on the mods he has listed. He had a OK 60' though, thats why I got confused. Unless he really cannot shift, like, at all, I don't know why it isn't faster. Even the trap, you can have the worst 60' of all time, your car should still trap high. Hell i was trapping 106-108 all day and I was in the 14s half the time if my 60' was poop.

 

yea your 60 isnt terrible for no traction mods, but your trap is terrible. either you need to let someone else drive that sucker or your car has some probs. something is way off

 

^ agreed

 

87 Grand National... aren't those supposed to do 13.9 stock... hmmmm either your lying or that guy didn't know how to drive.

Am I seeing a .5 reaction time??? Maybe you should work on that and you would be close to 13's.

 

Depending on the track but most I've seen a .500 is a perfect reaction light.

And unless it was runnign pro(all three yellows light up at once and then you go) the run time doesn't start until you cross the first beam

 

please refrain from ever posting again if you feel any of this is true. reaction time has absolutely no effect on ET.

and not all cars of a same make are going to run the same thing, blanket statements are usually moronic statements

 

could it be the elevation its over 3800? I was figuring 13.9's is what i thought. But my buddys ls1 z28 was running 13.8's so hell i dont know

 

man it still seems pretty damn slow, i think something is up with your car

 

His 1/8th mile traps look fine for where he is at. Still a bit slow, but not by too much. The quarter though probably has a lot to do with his altitude. Hey at least he made it down the track ten times! That's more than I can say for myself whenever I go!

With more practice you'll probably do a lot better. Time for some wheel hop mods first though!

 

lol, some of you guys are ********. It was the guy's first time at the track for crying out loud. Instead of making lame statements like he can't drive or his car's broken, how about doing some contructive criticism? I'm glad he had fun at the track. Oh and about the GN.......a lot of people seem to forget that there were two types. Regular GN, and GNX......the GNX is the one that ran mid 13's. I see regular GN's run mid-low 14's all the time.

 

LOL. Learn up on drag racing there bud. RT has nothing to do with ET. If you are bracket racing, sure, that could effect if you win or not. If you are running for ET you can sit there 5 seconds then go, not gonna effect you.

 

Even on a pro tree, the run time still doesn't start until you crossed the beam.

 

His 60' shows he can launch it decently, which is very good I think for a first time. What is odd is his trap speeds. Anyone (I hope) can shift 1-2 and 2-3. Even if he shifts REALLY slow, he should trap atleast 100 with stage 2, period. My first time ever at a track it was 80+ out and I only pulled a 2.2 60' once out of like 7 runs. But every time I was trapping 102-104.

His altitude almost has to be the factor. Only thing I can think of unless he goofed up shifting.

 

Prolly has something to do with the stage 2 tune, either you are running pig ass rich (which is what I would suggest) or super lean!

Eh, what do I know anyway!

 

constrcutive criticism isnt going to tell him something is wrong-

here is my cobaltss.net approved comment for those that cant handle the truth-

wow man cool car! you can smoke civics with those times! just keep going and let us know when you paint your headlights!

 

well dont know if wind is a factor either but it was blowing 40-50 mph last night. well im still gonna save and get it hp tuned or would a dyno tune be better?
