i ran an estimated 1/4 mile and ended at 83.0 mph. i was lookin at the 1/4 times, and other N?T cars were runin mid 16's, would this be where i am about? just lookin for a rough estimate, i will try to get a stop watch on it some time. thanks for ur time

16.6 is my guess. i went 16.7 in my 2000 Eclipse at 89 but I think the 3g's are heavier.

probly gonna time it tonight let ya know

 

[Mr. Talon]

i just timed my 1/4 mile. take into consideration, it may be a few feet off of an exact 1/4 mile. it's techincally 400meters Which is very close). anyways my 0-60 was roughly 10.3s and my 1/4 was 15.97 seconds @ 85 mph. i know i must take into consideration human reaction time and and all that but this gives me a base to think about. also it was nice and cool, and my engine had just warmed up, so cool air was good. also this is with a car that i weihed today (on a semi truck scale) as being 3044 lbs. i know this sounds heavy, but with half a tank of gass, 100+ pounds of subs/amp, spare tire, my bro (timing from start to finish) jack and all that it makes sense. now, if for some reason this time sounds imposible, let me know and i will maybe remeasure the 1/4 or if u have any suggestions. this is a practically deserted road, we sat there for 10 mins warmin up the car and no one was in sight. thanks for all your help.

mods: plugs/wires, Ram air (K&N), magnaflow straight through race series muffler, test pipe.

p.s. my rear shocks are pretty much kaputz, would new shocks keep more weight on th efront and help traction?
