first trip ever to track...tell me what you think please!! Okay, I'd never even been to a track, let alone run at one. I went to SCC at US41 tonight. Got in three runs, beat THREE different stangs.
I am kind of dissapointed. I know it was my first time and all, and I was definately nervous that I would mess something up, and I didn't just take my time and launch how i wanted to i tried to get a jump on the stangs next to me, I tried to do first burnout with ASR on
, etc etc. It was fun though. Anyway, LONg story short, here is my best run.
I have SSF3500, LT's, duals, lid, CAI, and nittos. Made 320/337 on unlocked stock verter.
R/T .545
60' 2.026
330' 5.507
1/8 8.371@85.53
1000' 10.860
1/4 12.972@106.56
Now, I know there are little things I can do, I didnt lower my nitto's pressure till the third/best run. I didn't get enough runs to try different launch techniques like I would have liked to, but what do you think for a baseline? My very first one was 13.1, the second one I 2.2 60'ed it and got a 13.37, BTW.
------> Other people with a similer setup, what do you do to launch? What 60's are you running? I surely must be capable of getting sub 2.0 60's and I want mid 12's

High 12's is very sweet times. With more practice (not more Mods)you should be able to run some mid 12's.
Good luck to ya.

I plan to practice launching as well as ditch some weight from the nose of the car (sway bar, washer fluid, AIR, & EGR will all go)..... got to work on getting my 60' down if i plan on going mid 12's. Are there any other very cheap or free things I can do that I missed while searching?? I already removed my rear seat, spare tire/jack, and a bunch of the insulation from under the carpet. (!65 pounds)
Thanks
