what is wrong with you is a better question, it was his first trip to the track. the story may not lign up %100 but give him some slack. The track is open alot so I'm sure he will practice, a 16 sec. pass on my concience would drive me insane and I'd strive to do better.

read what he said. it paints a picture of a guy who can't drive a car, no matter where he is behind the wheel. telling him to maybe not add 150whp to his car is simply a caution. he can do what he wants.
notice I did not say a word about his times, nor do I care how fast or slow he was. my comment was just directed at his seemingly careless operation of his car. maybe I didn't phrase it so nicely, so sorry on that account
my opinion stands.

, it was his first time at the track, there is no better place to "learn how do drive your car"....... even if you werent reffering to his ET, plenty of people rag on their cars, .....your comment was really unnecessary.... I'm curious to know what times you have put down at the track?
edit, just saw the second part of your post... either way your comment still seems unnecessary.... my opinion also still stands

well, i know what happened when i was in the car seeing as i was driving it, a chirp in 4th on a cold day in my mind seems entirely plausible (seeing as it did happen!) when i did not stage my car, warm up the tires and it was about 11am, but hey what do i know!??! my clutch could be slipping, but at only 16,000 miles?? who knows...
as for putting the twin turbo kit on adding all the power and "i cant drive", well i guess im going to have to find out the hard way. im still learning, putting the kit on my car has something i have wanted to do since i have owned the car. my ride, my mods!!!
no i dont plan on becoming an ultimate racer, weekend track person, or drifting. i just want to put the kit on it because well, i want to.
yes, the kit im putting on my car as with most turbo packages are made for track use so why am i dropping 10 grand for a car that will barely see track days....again, because i want to
i appreciate all the responses, both positive and negative, as well as the the encouragement to practice!
as for the person who saw me at chipotle, AWESOME!!! thats usually my first stop when I'm home!!!! if you see me again say sup!

if and when you hit the track please post your times, if you are willing to share, and maybe anyone else on here could learn something from your experience as i here have learned the lesson from mine: it takes practice!

And don't forget, it doesn't matter whether you win by an inch, or a mile. Winning is Winning.

On top of this you're a teenager in college and you want to twin turbo your daily driver?
Probably not the smartest thing to do.
