This is the first time i went to the track and im running a terrible 15 second. I was really pissed off we did about 5 runs all at 15 my 60 foot is terrible 2.361 is the best one. Now its a 2000 ss camaro manual ls1 and the first gear seems to be messed up. I do have a noise in the transmission. What do you guys run with a manual tranny what do you stall at? i was at 1500- 2000 rpm max on take off. my 1st gear seemed to be really slow hence the bad 60 foot time and than it picked up when i shifted to second. Could there be something wrong with the transmission, motor, driver or where im stalling at?

What did you trap?

hello440

97.17 mph made 15.083 i forgot to mention i revved it up to 3000 on the street today and it took off very good felt better than at the track. At the track my rpms were at 1500 than i dumped the clutch it revved up and than dropped back down it felt as if i was in 6th on the highway cruising at 1000 rpm than flooring the gas.VERY SLOW ACCELERATION

low trap and a noisy transmission would concern me.


id start there unless you just need to get used to your car.

I have a stock 01 TA and when I first took it to the track I launched pretty similar to how you did and I ran a 14.1 with a good amount of wheel spin. Something definitely sounds off, start with the trans issue since it's already evident that something is wrong with it.

hello440

thats what ill probably do. Anyone know any good clutches for street and strip i wanna go fast and im planning to do cam,heads,headers and intake any suggestions?

I'm sorry, I know I'm going to sound like a dick, but SEARCH. There's dozens of threads out there that sound JUST like what is quoted here. A **** load of information on this website waiting for you to discover it.

Are you running stock?
I did 13.7 first time at track also own a 2000 Camaro SS. Maybe this will help turn off your traction switch rev up to about 1000 and take off you should be ok. If you want good time treat your car like a bitch on the track. From first through third be quick and aggressive!

hello440

did you end you bringing it down?
and ya its completely stock

Sound exactly like what happens when you leave traction control on, if running street tires dumping the clutch at 1500rpm should lead to tire spin not bogging.

hello440

traction control was off. You dont think i should bring it up to around 3000 and than dump the clutch??

Not if your on street tires you'll spin all the way down the track

I've only ran my car 4 times since I've owned it and my 4th run I ran a 13.7 at 106, and that was with a lot of wheel spin. With a better driver I'm sure my car could run low 13's easily.

Oh man
First off and most important is where are you from?
**** here in Denver people will run 15's stock due to altitude but then go to sea level and run 14's or high 13's.

Also. Do maintence on the car. Tune up, fuel filter etc. also yes rev it higher then you were, and good tires and practice.
