Default First Time at Track With Stock 98Z28

Went out to Speedworld in AZ last night. 14.35 was the best I could do.
I know its a Vert (heavier) and has 2.73's but I thought I would at least crack high 13's.

What was the weather like? What were your 60' times? Hard to say whats going on without that info. The car might just need a simple tune up, plugs, wires, clean air filter, etc.

Temp was around 65 degrees. 60' times around 2.1. Just got the car a few weeks ago. Changed all the vital fluids but have not replaced the plugs, wires etc yet.

Being from AZ and raced at Speedworld a lot. You have to remember youre dealing with 91oct, 1300ft altitude, and horrible everything. I just checked the DA for last night, it was 2300ft. what was your trap speed? It may just be you need more practice.

thats low even for AZ...hmmm you are auto...but i would still expect atleast 100-103 area. I would start by checking plugs and wires to see if anything is up

I have not been through the car as far as a complete tune up, but overall she seems to be running fine.
Have some time off this week and will be putting on a catback and ftra, I'll change the plugs and wires also.
I know there are the factory freak fast cars, I hope I didn't end up with the factory freak slow one!

I see nothing wrong with the ET of this car! My friend had a 98 TA 11k miles and bone stock it ran 14.3@98 here in Vegas he had 3.23s though.... He added an SLP lid,i cut his air box underneath and went again and ran 13.8 next mod was DRs and a NX 150 shot and ran 11.77

3.23s or 3.42s,3600 minimum stall,big tranny cooler,SLP lid and watch your car run in the 12s at your DA
