Hey guys! I made a post a few weeks ago explaining the results of my first time to the track in this car. I felt like the DR's were a waste of time on a stock car, and that I left alot on the table with street tires. I was right.
After a few passes, I got a new personal best. Details: Bone stock car down to the paper air filter, 1/4 tank of gas, full weight (left jack and spare in, floor mats in, etc). Launch technique was a 1500rpm brake stall, rolling quickly into the throttle on the third yellow light. Breakdown of the slip:

R/T: .089
60': 1.982
330: 5.605
1/8: 8.546
mph: 83.58
1000: 11.096
1/4: 13.256
mph: 104.47

The trap seems like it's right where it should be. Only thing changed since last time is the dealership replaced the stock cats since it was throwing a code. All in all, I'm very pleased with the results, that's better than I expected to get with the car being completely stock. I plan on putting some bolt-ons on over the winter, and breaking the 12's in the spring.

 

Not a bad time, what tires were you running when you got a 1.9 60'?

 

I'm not sure on the brand, they read "HP 259". They're size 245/50/16. They look like some plain off brand street tire.

 

Wish mine would've 60' that. Looks like we ran about the same. I ran right at 84mph in the 1/8 but only pulled an 8.74 bc of the horrible 60'. Good deal man now do some mods atleast the free ones.

 

Very nice ET and 60' for a stocker on street tires. Sounds like you've got the launch down pretty well. Keep us posted as you mod up!

 

Congrats again! You going to midnight madness Friday? If I see you, I'll be sure to say hi. Rob.

 

Congratulations! What was your best before this? Just keep at it and yes, the 12s will be quick! I'm guessing a new converter will make it happen for you!

Good luck!!!

 

I struggled my first time out with the 60'. I just kept trying different things.

Will do buddy,thanks for the compliment.

Thanks, and to you again as well! I've got to work, so I won't be their Friday. Good luck, I think the weather is supposed to be good.

Thank you! My first time out, I went 13.7 on street tires with a 2.2 60', and 13.5 on dr's with a 2.0 60'. I was determined to get a 2.0 60' on street tires, especially since the car pretty much just bogs with the dr's. I think I'm going to start with just the basic easy bolt ons (lid, filter, free ram air, p&p tb, underdrive pulley, LT's, cat-back, etc). Once I get all of the bolt-ons, I'll probably do gears and a stall. I'd like to see if I can get 11's full weight with only bolt-ons. After that, I'd like to do head's and cam. We'll see how much my budget allows, it's tough to mod supporting a family with 2 kids.
