Default 1st track day for the goat this year.

Summit raceway opened back up today and i made it up to make some passes. I was really happy with how consistent the car ran. 60's were in the 1.7s all day and car ran between 12.52 and 12.42 on every pass. Here's a pic of the best pass of the day.

haha ya thanks alot man. It's honestly cake with an automatic to pop 1.7s all day. Being a 6spd is much more difficult but doable. My worst 60' of the day was a 1.780. These are all runs with the borla catback added and tow brace and gas tank brace all removed also.

I would def help her out but shes in Illinois and im in Ohio. I have a buddy that moved to Iowa and the closest track to him is Cordova which is where i believe she said she runs at. He helped me with everything i know about launching auto cars.

P.S. i popped not 1 but 2 1.73s today lol.. felt good to get back out there and get the competitive juices flowing again

haha thanks again.. I think the 12.18 part @ 114 is more than enough to feel proud of. I feel like if i trapped that high of mph i would reach the 11s tho. On my 1.78 60' slip it ended as a 12.52 @ 108.65. I have no idea if i would but just seems like it.

Yea it could be. I just gotta go again since i just installed 3.91's and i gotta get new tires then i could probably reach 11's. I could see you doing 11's just takes practice.

Hell ya the 3.91s should help you out a lot. I would put 391s in mine but being auto the gas mileage would be f*cked. 6spds aren't effected as much by the bigger gear. When is the nearest track opening up this year for you? I bet you could hit 11s for sure.
