well went to the track last nite for the first time with the z. here's the best time i could get and it was my first run near the end of the nite track prep was near none and it was spinning like crazy.this time was done early around 7ish.


r/t .614
60' 2.231
330. 6.185
1/8 . 9.367
mph. 77.86
1000. 12.070
1/4. 14.362
mph. 98.76

my mods are a lou's short stick and a k/n filter..
what would it take to get this car into the 13"s?????????

anasazi

a better driver



get that 60' down to 2.0 and you'll be pulling 14.0's and 13.9's

lol yeah well first time out there with it i was pedal happy..
i thinking of buying nitto d/rs any ideahs on what you think it would run on those?

mnypitTA

HahHah--my thoughts exactly Anasazi. All 4th gens should at least hit high 13s. Its not a Mustang for cripes sake.

just work on the 60' its not bad but if I can pull a 2.106 on an open diffy, bald factory 235s... I think a 2.0 is reasonable for you with LSD, and decent street tires.

which woudl put you possible in 13s...

Makes you feel any better my 1st few times out I was getting 2.3-2.4 60's wasn't used to going back to an open diff...

Seeing how that was your first time at the track and how most LT1s are high-13 and low-14 second cars, your time isn't bad and can only improve with practice.

The first time I went to the track, I found out my brake booster was going bad that night, I also didn't know how to properly launch my car, and wound up with a best of 14.0@102 because I kept hitting the brakes before the traps.

You actually got closer to your car's average times than me, I'm about a second slower.

Practice ont he launch and get better tires if possible.

I went to the track wednesday for the first time in my car and only managed a 14.135 @ 98.27 thats with 2.2 60' times .Detailed times here . And thats with Shorty headers, cat back, and CAI. I also have 275/40ZR18 Kuhmo that suck ***. I cat hit the gas and do a burn out with out movign forward inch with no brakes lol.

You should be able to get atleast a 14.1 or 14.0 cus our 60' times and MPH are the same. Once you hit a 2.0 60', you shoudl have your 13's

WELL THANKS FOR THE INFO GUYS I GUESS IT JUST COMES DOWN TO I SUCK AT DRIVING.. THANKS AGAIN!

SFB767

Don't take it personally like that, it does take practice.

In my honest opinion, I would rather take the time to learn how to be a better driver than spend money to load my car up with mods to get the time I'm after to compensate for my bad driving skills.

MustangEater82

yeah don't you are not going to get a good time first time out... launch is completely different then anywhere else...

I managed to get improved times everytime I went to the track over a period of 5-6 trips... Jsut a little more practice each time helped out

DanBUCF

I ran a 14.3 my first time out at the track...for whatever thats worth. Just need some more practice.

red96gt

LOL SORRY IT CAME ACROSS LIKE THAT I REALLY MENT THANKS FOR THE HELP.. AND I WAS AGREEING I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO LAUNCH.. NO HARD FEELINGS AT ALL....
