also i just installed 4.10s in my car and i have a 5 sp. is my time gonna be any quicker since my 4.10's and im bout to get tires

my freinds 98 stang stock ran 9.4

 

[stangman]

just looks like a little seat time is needed & you'll be good to go don't worry too much about it, it'll get better with some practice

 

[StalkerStangGT]

keep practicing and my guess is ud get a 9.2 once u get it to the ground, just leave easier so u dont spin

 

[tarch]

yeah learning how to launch your car will greatly increase your times

i mean decrease your times

 

[trikeffex]

here are my times:
r/t-.287
60ft-2.113
330ft-6.034
1/8-9.245/76.62mph
1000ft-12.011
1/4-14.352/95.69mph
98 gt coupe 5speed

The only way you will get better times
is if you pratice.

 

[SRMobile]

Your 60foot is way to high! Keep practicing your launches and watch those times drop!

 

[Justin03GT]

Don't feel bad. I took mine to the track for the first time last week and couldn't get better then a 2.4 60'. I need to practice my launching pretty badly.

 

[Mike97gt]

it tough too learn too launch right. what i would do if i was you is.

1. practice when you can. try different launch rpm's on my car i like to go above 3500..

2. when at the track forget the light. let the thing go. that way your not tring too rush it and you will learn what your car likes at the track. BTW the R/T has no effect on your et. the clock starts once you are moving.

thanks for the advise.. i think i need some drag radials tho i got my 4.10's in and it spins bad. i can just roll of the line then hit the gas and the tires breack lose in first or second.im gonna try again tonight.

but this might be my last weekend with it someone is looking at buying it monday for 6,000.. too cheap!!

well DR's aren't gunna solve the problem. they may make it better by a little, but that's it. just looking at your times all that is needed is some good ole fashioned pratice

 

[super302]

...or mine:
60': 1.90
330': 5.487
660': 8.443 @ 82.86
That's with the stock h-pipe and N/A.
On street tires before the gears it was easy to launch, just walk it out of the hole.

all ive did was practice a little bit and put my 4.10's in.. last week i ran 10.3 something
what would the next upgrade to my car pi swap(i wanna keep it n/a)

 

[Brad03GT]

Not too bad, 60' still needs some work though. What was your mph? Get that 60' down to around a 2.10 and it'll go 9.20's I bet!
OH ****, just saw you're in P'cola! I live in Milton and was out at the track tonight. I wasn't running. My car was parked behind the stands next to a yellow SRT-4 and an IS 3000. Tag says "1SLOGT", did you see it? I don't really remember seeing your car there though.

 

[97gtblue]

i dont know if i can get a better 60' i cant get traction the first sixty feet
im gonna keep practicing

i didnt see it .. i was in line forever so i didnt get to see much.. do you ever hang out at beals on davis highway? ill prolly be at the track in 2 weeks when they open back up

 

[Brad03GT]

Used to go out there everyonce in a while. When I get my tranny fixed I'll be out there lookin for some 8.30's-8.20's (depending on the weather and how much more wear my nitto's will have, lol). Prolly won't be out tongiht, well I will, just not with the car thing. I turned 21 about 3 weeks ago, and I'm goin to Flounders and some other places.
