Default NEW (and first) E.T. s

This is on my stock 92 6 Speed.

REACTION .676
60 FOOT 2.550
300 fT 6.404
1/8TH 9.452
1/8 mph 80.52
1/4 14.2
1/4 mph 103.00

I left traction control on that bogged the motor of the line hard. OOPS. What do you all think I could run If I learned to drive ?


Also car was at 225 Degrees when run.

If you had trouble hooking up you could try lowering the PSI on your tires. I ran a 14 flat with just muffler elims and a 2.30 60 foot.. last time I went I have Corsas and got a 2.00 60 foot and I ran a 13.4@102. I would imagine you would run somewhere in the mid 13s :yesnod:

You really need to work on launching, but if you had the ASR on, that wouldve been a major factor in that 2.55.

Mph is good though, you can drop that time SEVERAL tenths.

As suggested, drop the psi in the tires a little to help with launches.

With a 103mph trap speed you have mid 13's, and a lot of it will happen when you drop that short time into the 1.9s or 1.8s. Optomizing your shift points and technique will also help.

Are you hooked on it yet?? Have fun.
