went to the track today. 75 degree weather, half a tank of gas.
took out spare tire/jack, otherwise bone-ass-friggin stock.
first couple runs i kept bogging. came up with a couple 14.8s...and i was disappointed.
then came a 14.3 at 96. followed by a 14.2 at 96. however, my 60 fts. were all 2.1's.
then i decided to DRIVE
at launch i revved to about 5k (it was boging at 4500...sticky track). i slipped the clutch, and floored it, the car shuddered a bitm caught traction, and was gone. power shifted 4th by accident, otherwise let up every shift. rode 4th out to about 6200 rpm, severe power drop off
anyway, this is what happened:
60....1.956
330....5.713
1/8.....8.853
mph.....77.92
1000......11.564
1/4.............................13.857
mph............................97.77
i stopped trying after that. i went to the track with the intent of getting a 13 stock. i wasnt sure if it was possible, but there you go.
btw it was my first time at the track with ANY car, and i got that on my 5th and final run. imagine if it had been 45 degrees out and i had a little less gas in the tank
im so ecstatic that i pulled this off. can't wait to mod
sorry, forgot to mention my car is a GT w/o navi
