first time at track with my 06 roadster auto

zroadster123 · 07-18-2008, 10:32 AM

it was at the bradenton track in fl, it was around 90 degrees..the reason i am posting this is that i ran a 14.7 at 96-97 3 times consistently......is that a little slow for a z roadster auto?

Depends on the conditions at the time of the run and your driving skill. Do you have knowledge of what other roadster owners are getting with their cars at your track?

Do you have a slip you can scan?

Sounds right based on tranny and conditions. Ive seen 6sp Verts run that here in MD in similar conditions.

tips:
- 1/4 tank of gas or less
- take out any extra weight (i.e. spare tire)
- turn off the AC and vents
- roll up the windows

little things help out alot
