Default My first time at the track

Its a 94 z28 A4 with 110,xxx miles.

mods-air intake and hi flow cat.
everything else is stock.

My very first run was 14.31 @ 96 with a 2.1 60'

My second run was a little better after I realized
I could launch it harder I went 14.06 @ 97 with a 2.0 60'

With some cooler weather and some new struts and shocks
I bet I could easily hit 13's with out anything else done to it.

I was expecting slower times than this so I was pretty happy tonight.

Sounds like your car is running as well as it would've back when it had 10k miles on! Congrats/good luck with future moding!

Yeah those are some good numbers, you might be able to hit 13s with nothing if you practice a little bit. Get some MTs or Nittos, you will be more than pleased

Yea, you look to be on the way to good times. Not sure if you've ever been drag racing at a track before, but you seem to have down what to do.

I could only hope I'd do that well haha (nearest track is 3hrs drive, bastards)

Yea I should clear that up it was my first time with this car at the track.
This is my first Camaro Ive ever owned. I was used to my lil cobalt ss which took
me forever to get some decent times out of it.

I'm still debating on what to mod next because I want an exhaust bad but it needs suspension work!

I ran pretty much the same time with my car. Good job. Now you just gotta get full exhaust and go back.
