help me guess my track times

[DerekStangGT]

with the mods in my sig, what do you think i should run at the 1/4 track. my buddy and i are gonna go this saturday. by then i should have my new tires on. 275/40/17 Hancook Ventus. im no pro, so i dont think i'll be runnin any 13.6s, but honestly, im a decent driver, so hit me.

depends on the track prep, your skill, etc etc, so shoot for 14's.

I have the hankook ventus 265/50/15 on my 95 gt. They hooked like a slick when they were brand new. With my 4.10's I couldn't even bark second. I've had them on for about a year and they still look brand new but they've lost some bite to them. I hope your track is better than mine or you will still be all over the place. I always hook better on the street than I do on the track. I think you may be able to run a real high 13, but set on a low 14.

First take the music out of the trunk.

 

[XStanger]

with 4.10's you should run in the 13's.

First take the music out of the trunk.

it helps traction in the rear

if you can pull off at least a 2.1 60ft you will get a high 13..........

The fact that you have a bunch of extra weight in the car, and it sounds like you have never been to the track before, I am going to say around 14.2 or 14.1.

yeah, im not gonna go all hardcore with this track thing. im gonna leave everything in my car, right down to the CD case!! and i dont really feel like yanking my subs out. i wanna know what my car will run on the street, or as close as possible. thanks for the help everyone. my goal is a 13.99

btw, what do yo think my trap speed will be

 

[Bullitt_#1346]

Should be around 99mph.

Should be around 99mph.

I'd guess somewhere in the high 90s.Your 60ft will be one of the biggest factors in reaching that 13.99.Good luck

I've heard of people over here in Houston pulling high 13s in a stock 99+ GT, well they said they had tires thats it, any input on this??

 

[GTvert01]

Yeah, that's pretty common with a good driver.I was running 14.0-14.1 stock in my convertible, so a coupe could easily hit high 13s.

thats the thing, i dont know how good of a driver i am. im 18, been driving a stick for two years, have had my car for one year, but i practice my launch a lot!! i know im no pro, or even close, but i dont think i suck.

The timeslip will tell all.Get in a few passes to try to get used to running at the track.Chances are if it is your first time there, you will probably cut a pretty high 60ft and run in the mid to low 14s,but who knows The launch is a little different when you're on the track, but just go out and have fun.The only way to get better is practice. Post your slips when you get back from the track.Good luck.
