Update: Vid of auto-x down a few posts.
And oh my God was it a blast!!!
All part of Mustang Week.
Autocross is just as fun as the 1/4 mile, but in a different way. I enjoyed them both alot. I only ran twice at the strip though. Track prep wasnt that great, and it was hot and humid so NO ONE was getting good times. And no, thats not an excuse.
Heres what I got (first time to the track).
1st run...
R/T: .584
60': 2.204
1/8th: 9.67 @ 74.22
1/4 15.03 @ 92.36
2nd run...
R/T: .611
60': 2.370
1/8th: 9.762 @ 74.51
1/4: 14.98 @ 93.94
I was happy to bust into the 14's. And before you rag on me about it being slow, heres some reference points. Terminators were running 13's, 05+ GT's stock were running 14.2-15.5, PI 4.6's with a few bolt ons like mine running 14.6-15.5 or so. It just wasnt a good night to run for good times. But, I think im getting the hang of launching, the first time I launched around 2300 RPM, and it squeeled real quick than caught. The 06 GT next to me pulled a 2.171 60', so I wasnt that far behind him in that respect... specially for being lowered. I didnt shift very high either, right around or under 5k, so the car had more in it, I just didnt want to get out there and tear it up for the first time.
Does anyone know that link to find out the temp and humidity on any certain day? Id like to know what it was, and see if I could get numbers for a corrected run.
As far as the autocross, it was sweet. My last run of the day I ran 43 seconds with no penalties. The 03 Cobra that won in its division ran a 41 or 42, I was really proud about that time.
