ran my turd again..

[NotQuik]

alright, car has h-pipe, catback, bumped timing....them are all my mods. first pass was [email protected] w/ 2.22 60'...2nd which i missed 4th gear on and for some odd reason tapped the brake was 2.16 60' (best all night sadly) netted me another [email protected]. The other runs were kinda sad as well..I have whatever teh stock tires on the 04 gt's are 245-45-17's kinda bald on there right now.

[email protected] w/ 2.31 60' (don't ask)
[email protected] w/ 2.237 60'
last [email protected] w/ 2.242 60'

i really need some tires i know....2nd spun alittle and friends standing behind said it kicked out in 3rd gear as well and i felt it of course. I was really wanting a 13.999 tonight but i think if i wouldn't have missed 4th gear I would have hand it on the 2nd run....oh well, next time. Just thought i'd share though...gears and tires are next on the list.

What are you talking about, that's not bad at all.

 

[Adam95GT]

LOL not as bad as me... i havent mentioned that i took the stang to the track and ran a 16.2.... i thought i let out enought air in the 315's got home and had 28psi... no wonder i couldnt get traction 2.7 60's ftl

 

[Therian]

those are excellent times

 

[1TallMF]

I agree, for a pretty much stock motor and 245's, those times are pretty damn good.

+1 for no internal mods and just the bolt on...im auctually kinda jelous of you.

 

[NotQuik]

thanks guys....i'll try and get some tires sometime and head out again....i know it'll go a high 13 with traction though, just a matter of doing it instead of talking about it. I guess that's why i was kinda disappointed because of the poor traction and i'll admit i'm not a great driver either. Thanks for the comments guys

 

[Yobi1Kanobi]

hey thats not bad i ran a 14.01 @101 with a 2.20 60ft with HCI, full exhaust, 3.73 gears...so that a good time

 

[Killercanary]

Have you owned the car since it was new? That is INSANELY fast times for a stock car, especially the near 100mph trap speeds. It takes roughly 230+rwhp to do that in a 94-95 coupe. To say I'm impressed is an understatement.

What track was this at? What was the weather conditions like?

 

[Stanger007]

Awesome times... slap some tires on there and you're guaranteed a 13sec pass w/ those times.

A 2.0x 60ft is very doable on street tires and decent track, slip that clutch a bit on the launch. That puts you into the 13s easily!

Congrats dude!

I see no suspension mods in your list. I would start there. Any chance you pulled the front sway bar when you go to the track? that does help.

 

[NotQuik]

car has eibach sportlines on it, and that's it for suspension. This was at Orlando Speed World and that's the problem, they are not very good with prepping their track...i'm sure somebody might vouch for that. As you can see in my sig. my 89 coupe had the same mods plus headers and trapped the same and went 13.8@99 on street tires with a 2.1 60' but 2nd gear hooked much better as 3rd didn't even chrip. Weather was around 60 degrees out.

killercanary....I've only owned the car for 3 years this january but itw as bone stock when i got it. It had the aode and went 14.7 with these exact mods. honestly i didn't think it would run well at all because the previous owner did not take care of it in anyway...mechanically or cometically...

thanks guys i'm feeling better about what it ran now...plus i haven't been in a 5 speed for 3 years either so i'm learning to drive again as well.

 

[NotQuik]

just thought i'd post a couple pics to show exactly how i ran the car. Full interior, spare and jack still in truck, full tank...just need dr's and driving practice as we all keep saying.

with the auto

with the 5 speed

Dates in camera were never set so that's why it shows 3 years ago and 1 year ago.
