Well, I ran my car at the local drag strip Friday night. It was definitely an experience! I can see myself going back often...
The only mod on my car right now is a JWT Popcharger. However, after sitting in the line of cars for about 20min before running, I could tell that heat soak was an issue for me.
My first time was...
14.97 @ 92mph.
I was very nervous, and wasn't ready for the light to go green, and bogged the launch, and missed 2nd gear. Oh yeah, and hit the rev limiter in 3rd. Good times.
However, each run got progressively better.
My best, was:
REACTION ---- 0.1131
60 FT ---- 2.0417
330 FT ---- 5.9264
1/8 ET ---- 9.0964
1/8 MPH ---- 77.33
1000 ET ---- 11.8127
1/4 ET ---- 14.1023
1/4 MPH ---- 98.79
My 60' time kept getting better with each run, and if I could've gotten another run in, I'm positive that I could've got a sub 2.0 60' time.
Also, I think I could've dipped down into the 13's.
I was VERY surprised how well the car was hooking up. I was launching at 4000 - 4500 rpm, and the tires were slightly squeeking through first gear.
I plan on going back in a couple weeks, and trying it again!
