Well i got the 16g on did pull a better time (barely) but the mph is sweet (i think).On the first run i spun 1st AND second gear , 2nd, i was happyand sad at the same time. Netted a 2.66 60' and a [email protected]. My best for the night was on a 2.58 60', [email protected]. I have definently got the power, i just need traction, and practice. I'm thinking of either geting some DR's to put on my stockers, or some adjustable rear suspension to stiffin up. Overall i was happy with the power, but not with my launching (duh). I did, however, win all 4 runs, now my offical track record is 8 and 1.
 
yea learn some self control on that sucker and you'll have some nice 60's...and low 14's from what i calculate
 
whats up FlaTout-gst, I was the green gst(see sig). I got one more run only to get basically the same time again. 3 runs and all were 14.07, 14.03, 14.01 @ 104.7(2x) and 105.4 :rolleyes: . I couldn't get traction on the 18's even with the Quaife, 60ft- 2.5's and a 2.44. I knew my et.s would suck but I wanted better mphs. Only thing good about the nite were my reaction times--.708, .528, .551. Oh well, she's built for the street, not for the strip.
 
Hey man, dag i thought they had closed the lanes or i woulda stayed for another run! 14.01..ahh sooo close to 13's. I'm hoping i can get back up next friday i want to try and get as much practice as possible before the season ends. I am thinking of putting my stock rims and tires back on the front, i know the tires arent quite as nice as the 450's (plus they're bald), but the lighter rim might help. I'll probably test them on the street first and see if traction is that much worse. I'm looking around for a good DR, anyone have any suggestions?
 
I hope you get to run, and i hope i see it (larry). You've got an agp lr2 right? Man i bet getting traction is gonna be a pain in the $@!$#@! Probably not nearly as bad as me (because of my driving of course, not turbos by any means), but the power that thing puts down has got to be nuts! The season ends the 1st of dec doesnt it? I hope to be able to hit high 13's before then..we'll see, i've got a ways to go.
 
I WAS there last night 11-15, got 4 runs. Still no better really. best was a [email protected] figureed the 99 was because of shifting into 4th, but i only broke 100 once all night even when running out 3rd. I guess it was a little colder last time when i hit 102. My 60''s were a little better, my best being a 2.41, which i was suprised only knocked a tenth off my previous time
14.5@99 with 2.41 60'
[email protected] with 2.58 60'
O well, hopefully i'll order some retreads from turbo trix this week. My ultimate goal is to sell her before college (cant drive anyway) and save a little more for an AWD in a year or two. It just seems so much easier to get ur moneys worth from mods. I know i know, i am no where near the potential of a big 16g, but even w/ the t-25 i shoulda been low 14's with 98 mph. I guess only time will tell!
 
so whats broke now larry:rolleyes: I worked last nite and after work I got to move my friend into her new house...fun... Larry, you better get that car to track before it closes, I wanna see that thing run. Let me know if your heading up next Friday, I'm off.
 
Ill be running the car before Cecil closes, just not sure if Ill make it there this week or not. Ive got a lot of minor things I need to fix on it.

Craig, do you have rims on yer car? I think I saw your car. I was standing next to it trying to figure out if it was AWD or FWD since the decals were gone. I was talking to a friend in his camaro next to your car and you were in front of a 350z?
 
Thats cool, was kinda agravated myself, not that that really makes any difference. Just that you weren't the only one!
 
you guys all run at cecil?? i was going there alot but started going to capital instead there are alot more imports there..also im running much better times there....glad im not the only one with high trap speeds and not that good of times...60' times are still terrible...craig from jarretsville what color is your car??
 
It's black, with 17's...where's capital? It would be cool to have options of where to run. It would be nice to see more imports as well, or perhaps im just lookign to not seem so inferior at the track... But DAMN i have never seen so many mustangs in one place at one time compared to this past friday. Each lane had like 6 5.0's right in a row at any given time.
Larry, don't remember seeing a red one, just a white gst, a green RS with CF hood, and a 1g.
 
I hope u get ur car running soon, i'd like to see the L2R run. I doubt ill run any more tho, might go to watch.
 
capital is in croftin i live in cockeysville and depending on traffic it is closer than cecil..and the imports way out number the mustangs and ole muscle cars...whole diferent scene there i bet you there were atleast 10-15 dsms there galant vr4s as well as 1st and 2nd gen eclipse and talons plus they start earlier and stay open longer into the winter there...how busy has ceceil been the last few weeks???
