Disappointing track time :(
Well like the title says I went yesterday to the track not with the intention of racing just went cause a buddy of mine bought an 06 impala ss and wanted to take it to the track. Its bone stock the only thing it had where my slicks that I lend him. First pass with me in the passenger side 15.3 (its his first time at the track btw) Second 14.66 then third pass 14.35 I was still in the passenger side. After three passes I was all thrilled so I decided to race him but really didnt want to cause my SS after I put the catlless dowmpipe last week has felt kind of sluggish . So we go for it and the results him being stock with slicks and me cai,tbc,tunned,and catless downpipe:
My car R/t .245 My buddy's car R/t.230
60' 2.20 60' 2.04
1/8 9.19@77.49 1/8 9.13@75.91
1/4 14.21@98.46 1/4 14.25@96.79
I was like WTF I figured I would smoke him since I had recently added the catless downpipe and Ive been doing constant 14.00 -14.08 with the catless downpipe. Any ideas as to why I did such an awful time? could it be I need it retuned? I got to admit it was a badass race to he had a car and 1/2 and towards the end beat him by a fender!!!!

you lost all your edge in the first 60'. You spun badly per your short time. killed your e.t. but the higher trap speed shows you up a fair amount on power over him. Anyway, you won, that is all that really counts.

To the OP,
Next time I go down to the valley I'm gonna have to hit you up and make a track day out of it. I was down in McAllen last month but I didn't have time for anything, plus my tires are getting pretty bald!

Sounds like a plan just let me know ahead of time so I can schedule myself off in the afternoon. Probably even invite my buddy as well (btw his SS is black too)
