Before you ask why my times are like this, I must say that it was my first time there, I had my crappy street tires, and I WAS TAKING OFF ON 2ND GEAR. (first gear pops out) I wasn't even going to race but my buddy kept calling me out. He's got a 97 GT.

1st run
I revved at 3300 rpm and it bogged on the take off and I missed 4th gear.
reaction: .247
I1: 2.468
I2: 6.616
I3: 9.789
mph: 95.867
1/4: 14.861

2nd run
I revved at 4200rpms. My car moved but was spinning. I missed 3rd.
reaction: .278
I1: 2.434
I2: 6.323
I3: 9.665
mph: 99.156
1/4: 14.701

3rd run
I revved at 4500rpms. As I took off it spun way tooooo long. The anouncer even said that I had to let off or I wasn't going to go anywhere.
reaction: .481
I1: 2.855
I2: 7.766
I3: 11.309
mph: 96.485
1/4: 16.521


What do you guys think?

I think you need to fix your trans. Otherwise not too bad. Definately not a true representation of what your car is capable of doing. Soooo, did you beat your buddy's 97?

Yep, I still beat him. He was pretty happy tho, he thinks that he did ok against my car. Even though he took me in the launch(duh) and then I took him.

I'm thinking my trap speed should be right around 103-104 with my first gear and good set of tires.

I think I am going to see what my maximum bench press is with a broken collar bone.

i have gt40x's and an ecam among other things. with my old t5 i got to make 3 passes with it and my 3.73s before the trany blew up on me. my best time was a 13.3@103.6.
i havnt really been able to run with the new t56 yet. after i get my windows fixed im going to the NED to see what it'll do.
I would expect your times to be somewhat like mine, which were on kumho street tires. work on your 60ft after 1st gets fixed your rt's seem decent.
