if you dont know the temp/humidity/barometric pressure at the time of the pass you could be off .5

 

dang man my best time is a 13.918 @ 102.2mph. I am dying to get some non-bald tires and go back to work on my launch. my 60' was 2.235 but it was around 65 deg F so that probably didnt help the launch. how are you guys launching? I drove a civic before I got the Z so I am like a little clueless on RWD launches.

 

13.918 is good for that 2.2 60' foot time. You are obviously losing traction at the line. 1st and 2nd gear traction problems seem very common in Z's I can't help you with the launch unless you have a 5AT. Tires are abig kpart of the launch though. I am very happy with my Pilot Sports, but I won a set of Drag radials at the drags so I will be using them next season.

 

I launch at approximately 2500 rpms and feather off the clutch till I feel I get traction... then floor it. That's how I got my 1.9 60 foot. I needa work on my shifts though .. with a 1.9 60 foot I'm told I should be hitting a 13.6-7

 

Hey how bout this... I launch and you shift the rest of the way and we will see what kind of times we can get

 

the pilots are awesome, i have pulled my best 60's with them, could have gotten better but didnt have much seat time that day since it was heads up elims. my buddy cut low 1.8s on a 245/45/17 pilot

 

I heat them up and they get fairly sticky for a street tire. See film clip

I don't even get near the water for street tires.

 

I didn't either until I got the PS tires. It made a 2/10th difference @ 26#

 

Burn em! Lol @ the commentary. Nice little burnout you did there. What did you run?

 

At the end you can hear the announcer say my dial in: 13.90

I ran a 13.85, but it was a double break out and I won. here is the race.

I'm pretty stock, JWT intake and Borla exhaust, 5AT touring with spare, jack and tools. on 91 octane.

 

I know it's a dumb question, but what's the water trap for?

 

aka burnout box. that's where all the nasty burnouts occur.

 

no the burnouts dont occur in the box. the tires are rolled through the box and turned over to get wet(if you have skinnies up front) or backed into and rolled over to wet them. then the car is pulled out of the wet pavement and that is where you do the burnout.

 

It's the thing most people should be tryingto drive AROUND.. unless you have slicks..

 

What are the s/c cars running in the 1/4?

 

I have a 5AT vortech SC and other regular boltonss. I ran a 12.4 at the track on street tires.....
