Default Track Times

Traded by 99 Trans Am for a 1999 C5 99Mongoose400SS.

13.16 @113 w/ 2.45 60' on the balled original EMT's

How is that?

I only regret buying it when I'm not driving it! What a car!

:lol: Your 60' times look like mine. You definitely have the MPH for a low 12 second car.

Well you go try and hook up with balled Run Flat tires, they don't hook up when brand new! :rolleyes: I managed to get a 2.2 60' one time, that was my best, but I shifted into 5th instead of 3rd lol "shrug"

I went sideways power shifting into second every single time, and almost always lost traction shifting into 3rd.

People there were only cutting 1.8-9's on ET streets, so I don't think I was off par. I know how to drive pretty good, but ya I could always use practice. ;)

I just bought the car, has the original tires, and I didn't get the rims and tires switch over form my old car yet. Friend was going to the track to run his NOS'ed Trans Am, so I went with him to see what she could do. You sure are kind of a smart butt hehe, but that's ok. I figured well if I beat my prev time set by my T/A, on balled tires, I'd be plenty happy.
