First time back after 10yrs, stockish car, 100% street trim, 89 octane :x Well I went out last night. It was still about 82* and really humid. Turns out the track wasn't super sticky. Mods are in my sig, I ran it on motor. I just drove it 99 miles to the track without touching a bolt, valve stem or laptop: how it ran is how I daily it, including 1200-mile road trips.
Best was
60'...2.251
1/8...8.993
Mph...82.31
1/4...13.626
Mph...105.4
The tires are only 245/45/18 advan es100's at 34psi. No water box/burnout, just a quick spin in first to dust off the tires. I was launching from the groove with lots of other street tire cars... In retrospect, I may have hooked better outside the groove.
I launched at 2600ish. Amy higher and it would spin. It also spun on 1-2 shift. It was audibly knocking top of 3rd and crossed the traps bouncing off the limiter.
I know the car has a little more in it if I put it in slicks and get real fuel in it... Probably needs new plugs too.
This was literally "run what ya brung".
Overall, I'm impressed with how it did, rolling right off the street with zero prep
