What do you all think? anygood? :confused: I need to work on my launches...i would get all nervous at the line and those lights counted down really fast...hehe
 
Looks like a mid to high 14 sec run. First time out is always the hardest...know that your know what you are doing you won't be so nervious and whatnot.
 
Im confident i can pull a 9.0 out of my car next time, im going back sunday. Im gonna take out the rubber block under the throttle pedal, turn the boost up alittle, take out my headlight and try and launch better. OOO and my air filter is filthy, cleaning it would prolly help at least a little i guess. Yeah i really hope im not so nervous next time... OMG
 
went back today, did alittle better, this is my new best

edit-o yeah, today they did this ### pro light thing, as soon as you staged it was like BANG!! GREEN, no yellow lights, very nerve racking, but it sure was a rush, hehe.

and i found this dude that had my car along time ago, my car used to have a frank jr on it till he sold the car and stuck a 13g on it cause the t-25 went bad and wanted to put the frank on a 1st gen FWD laser that was doing 8.5 in the 1/8 today with that turbo. AANNNYY way, i let the dude drive his old car and he did a 60 in 1.8 and he dropped the ET to 9.14something.....wish i could do that....LOL
 
well thats cool, what does a stock AWD turbo 2gen normaly run in the 1/8 and 1/4????
