Just got back from the track It wasn't hooking for ****, and any kind of power/speed shift to 2nd resulted in a 50mph burnout. To add to my traction issues my car decided to start spinning with just the right wheel after I took the spare out. I tried many differnet launches but nothing worked for me, I got it out of the f'ing 9's ONCE!!! I ran 8.89 with a 2.2x 60' mph was like 84.5 and my other 10 slips are 9's!
But to go to prove that it is A LOT the driver, before the track got super slick I let a friend of mine drive my car. He cut a 2.05 60' but it got so loose in 2nd he pushed the clutch in and still ran 9.17 @ 69mph. That would have been a sweet run.
Here is a run down of the slips from this ****ty day at the track, but I still had fun and my cousin's GTP ran a new best of 9.4x @ 74.xx .
This is in order that I ran
9.298 @ 83.736 2.503
9.336 @ 83.957 2.504
8.892 @ 84.483 2.219
9.178 @ 69.212 2.058 <--friend's run
9.247 @ 82.281 2.529
9.198 @ 82.411 2.302
9.059 @ 84.118 2.340
9.253 @ 77.728 2.326 (got loose I lifted)
9.454 @ 80.359 2.354 (lifted)
10.508 @ 57.916 2.569 (got scary loose, left lane really sucked ***)
9.894 @ 73.356 2.461 (another lift,toying with the GTP )
and my last run was with a 240lb passenger, I ran 9.69 @ 79.xx
I am ashamed of those 60' times, those slips will not be getting scanned .
I think before I go back I'll get some Nittos, install the cutout and drop the swaybar finally.
