Again, slips are in order of runs. . .Ok so i went to the track and once again i am getting better and better at my launches so i have beaten my old times by .2 . . .my personal best at 13.36 last night with the same "bolt-ons" since my times get put in that category (even though they aren't really bolt-ons) which are drop-in K&N's and Falken FK452's for rear tires, stock size. . .I ran atleast 15 times last night but won't clutter the page with too many, just puttin up the 4 leading to my best. . .

#154


04 GT Stang. . .


Newest Tiburon. . .there was a gang of them out there and they all basically posted the same times. . .


97 built/ S/C GT Stang. . .


03-04 GT Stang Convertible. . .there was a lot of mustangs and Tiburons out last night. . .


so as i got done with my last run i hear a flipping/vibrating noise on my rear window, it was the blade on my rear wiper torn because of the wind. . .well that michelin blade didn't last long. . .they aren't cheap either. . .oh well, had a fun night even though i was the only Z out there. . .except for a 240 that was in attendance, didn't get to see what he ran though. . .

edit: i always wanted to know what my car weighed with me in it and i finally got to put it on the scale in houston last weekend. . .3490lbs. . .that's heavy huh. . .or atleast i am (218lbs). . .haha. . .

 

For easy reading you can circle your car on the time slip. You are doing well. Nice driving.

 

This is about where I want to get. I have a few bolt ons also and getting a tune soon and hopefully with some practice I can hit 13.4-13.5

Good driving btw!

 

Yes very good job.

 

you really can't see them. . .? the pics are kinda large. . .

 

yeah u can see them but easier to look and know which car is yours and not the other car.

 

ok, i'll do that next time. . .figured if there was only one car #154 above the list of times it would be obvious. . .i'll circle them when i post my next times of 13.2 and lower

 

I dont get how you are doing this, I guess I just don't understand the art that is drag racing!
Gotta show me how to launch~

and i have LSD =(

what camber are you running on the rear?

 

I see 13.2X seconds in the future.

The difference between 1/4 and 1/8 mile trap speed is only 20.7 MPH. That difference is primarily due to poor, average or good air. On a good air day, I would like to see 105.XX MPH.

Go for it!

 

all suspension is stock. . .haven't changed a bolt on it. . .tightened or loosened. . .just put some crapier tires in the rear and some drop in k&n's, which don't do much in my opinion, except for breathing a lil better. . .but nothing has really changed. . .

 

i'll get there. . .when 2nd gear throws me back in the seat and continues to pull, i'll know i've gotten there and beyond. . .thanks for the confidence. . .

 

bump. . .

 

Nice times. I also use falkens for racing. They havent failed me yet.

 

once my falkens are done with i'm goin for invos. . .just ordered them for the front. . .gotta wait for the rear to fade away, as much as i've spun in my 452's it just doesn't seem like they are loosing any rubber. . .

 

does anyone get a lil slip when they throw third hard. I noticed that the last time i was at the track. Second hit nice just sometimes third. Another thing, what rpm are you launching at.

 

not quite sure what you mean by "throw third hard" and why wouldn't you get a slip for it. . .?

i really don't launch at a specific rpm by letting it sit at a certain rpm, i rev up to it. . .i think the track prep allows you to launch at a good rpm. . .if it's sticky as hell then you could probably slip it at a higher rpm. . .the night i made these runs it was hard to heat my tires up sometimes. . .
