im a complete amatuer when it comes to 1/4 mile or drag racing in general, so im just looking for advice.


i have a 2000 camaro ss, M6, Stock **** tires atm,3.42 gears, clear lid, exhaust shop 2.5 true dual cat back, other than that everything about the car is stock.

im just wondering if these track times seem normal??

times got a little better each run and i was hot laping the car which doesnt make any sense either. i dont think anyways

You need to learn how to drive your car... That 60' is horrid.

2000camaroSS2000

im sure a driver mod would help quiet a bit, but that mph is pretty standard for a stock ss?

I'm sure the DA wasn't anything to boast about so I would say the mph is about right... Possibly 1-2 mph low but I would say if you are cutting mid 2.X short times, your shifts aren't quick up to snuff either.

thx for the info... still getting use to the car, only have had it about a month. driven it mabye 500 miles or so, but i feel like im shifting pretty quick. drive rigs for a living so its not like im new to a stick, however i am letting out of the gas when i shift. DONT WANT TO BREAK ANYTHING YET!!! lol

You want an M6 to make the times at the strip, drive it like you hate it and want to break ****... Otherwise, don't compare times! LOL

You will get the hang of it.

Launch control on an m6 really helps to get the 60s down. What rpm are you launching at?

BOLO

Work on that short time. I see low 13's and possibly 12's with those mph. GL.

2000camaroSS2000

can you give me some links for launch control? not even sure what your talking about, like a 2 step? Launching at about 2200, wheel spin was an issue for sure.

awesome thx man, set of fattys on the back is the next thing im doin followed by some suspension.

Your going to have to slip the clutch if you want a decent time with street tires. Try starting at 2500, then move up until you find the limit of your traction. Try going with 1/4 tank gas, fill the front tires up all the way and let a few psi out of the rears.

Also make you are shifting at the right rpm and as quick as possible.

He is refering to you as launch control. And you can get a set of nitto drag radials on your stock rears wheels and they will hook plenty at your power level, but you dont wanna go out and launch 3500 rpm or more on slicks because you will end out breaking your stock rear end.

**** street tires will kill your times. i just went to the track and ran a 13.5 @ 112 on worn kuhmo ecsta supra summer tires. im hoping to get radials soon

so get tires. and get practice

2000camaroSS2000

well was back out at the track for midnight madness,

got my 60 foots cut down by 3/10 and ran a 13.56 at 105.50 will post slip tomorrow but pretty happy!

same tires, havent changed the car at all. just rode the clutch a little leaving and was able to flash to about 3k without to much spin.

2000camaroSS2000

with stock power do i need to worry much about blowing my rearend? plan on getting some aggresive 335s out back, but no drag radials.

white99ta!!

With that old trap its deffenately a low 13. You did a lot better this time
