i got up enough nerve to actually make an ass of myself today at the sport compact event

best run of the day

[email protected] mph

60ft
2.3

explanation for ya on this one
second gear is SHOT
i would lauch it at about 3500, slip the clutch. run it up to 6k, let it idle back down. slowly hit second. then give it hell the rest of the way down the track

i know im losing at least a second between that shift. and i know i can do a better 60ft, due to i did a 1.81 first time out.

clutch hated me after that 60ft time as well {stock}

so with that mph and the lag time i have{and crappy 60ft} i know its a 13 second car. easy.

just thought id share with ya

300 dollar car
all free mods
some more little things
no money spent in mods
:thumb:
 
i was sitting here figuring up things
doin a little number crunchin

with a clutch
1.7 or better 60ft
and a new tranny, i should easily trap 102 mph on more boost and higher octane fuel{c-16}

to come in a month
cams
tranny
clutch
and some other secret beater style stuff!!
 
Thought you weren't gonna run da beater. hehe Too bad I didn't make it back up (ended up having to catch up on work and then the girlfriend).

Yeah, with that mph and your crappy 60's you are definately in the 13s.
Not bad for 300buxs. ;)
 
next spring when i take it back to the track it will be a lot faster.
im saving massive amounts of cash right now to do this
and buy a second car so if i pop it, i won't be so pissed off
