Its right around 3000 ft where I am so those times are about right. Best Ive done is 14.33 @ 98 with a 2.0x 60ft. Ive got an 03 Z 5AT.

 

 

ZLadie..

How'd you do on Weds.? Are you going again tonight?

 

I didnt do well on Wed. that's why I didnt post anything in the drag race forum. I think I may need new rear tires, they are 285's and my launch was still a 2.4, 2.5 60', thats pathetic especially for those tires. I think they are getting bald already

 

bummer..

I got ahold of some Cobra-R wheels with some DR's on them.. I am stoked I cant wait!!

 

how much do those wheels weigh? much lighter than stock?

 

I will weigh them when they come in.. they are 17x 9's.. A pic..

 

Are you sure it's the tires? How are you launching?

 

Dont put to much faith in the Nittos, they are sadly not worth the money unless you got them dirt cheap

the BFG's are VERY VERY good and very sticky ---dont last long on the street but as a dedicated track tire they are pretty nice

WIth 2700ft elevation you can expect about a 4-5 tenth decrease in times to sea level so if you were low 14's then I would say thats pretty good ---- 14.4 = 13.9 so for a G thats moving

 

Yea but I want to get into the 13's here.. 13.9 I would be stoked..

The wheels come with the tires.. Both wheels and tires for $250 shipped to me.. I think thats a great deal.. I will put some MT Streets on them when the Nittos get worn out..

 

I know the feeling its the effect of having a 13.9 on the slip no matter if your at 5000ft in Denver lol you just want the 13 sec slip lol

I say make a trip to a sea level track ready to lay some times for yourself ---- its worth the trip and youll make some new friends with the proper planning lol

 

come on down to Florida, in Orlando we're almost at sea level... we're like 27 ft above sea level!

 

Closest almost sea level track would be Cali I suppose.. Mexico is south but no way am I going to see if they have drags..

 

How do you launch?? I might show you a new way to do it next time i am down at the track. I was allways in 1.9 or 2.0 60 foot but becareful coz your tranny is going to let you down... Trust me i have change my tranny once before.

 

gotta preload your tranny before you drop the clutch.. Let the clutch out to the point where your not rollin forward, but someone cant be in fron tof you pushing your car backwards, get the car to 4K rpms then drop that damn clutch..

 

<--------------- By FAR not a pro, but thats what I was told works and I am still trying to get it down..

 

they actually do have some drags in northern mexico...south of you in mexicali, fast drag racing cars but i dont think they have any imports

 

Hey bro she has an AT
