i never actually raced my car either. but i can tell you that you absolutely can get a 110% better 60 ft time. what rpm did you launch at? awd: you should be launching at like 5800 or something i think... keep practicing.

Your first time at the track and your R/T was .533?? Thas bad ass ... yuh my first time was like a ... 1.23 or something... Damn I suck!

 

[packofqtips]

well i go alot and wach my friends and i think i can drive okay not a great driver but im okay i think i can do better which is why i wanna go once more this year

 

[packofqtips]

also that was my best run my worst reaction time was a .7something

 

[tinted.blue]

Yea I went yesterday and my r/t was alot better, my best was a .523 so I was pretty happy. I guess I just wasnt use to the track... at least thas what all my friends say, I still think I just suck. I'm just use to street racing. And Still a .7 isnt too bad.

Why are you guys even worrying about RT on a .500 tree? It only matters if you do bracket racing. If you do “real”, heads-up racing, you use a “PRO-TREE” which is completely different.

[packofqtips]

the pro tree goes 3 yellows at once then green once you are both staged right?

 

[GRNDSM]

Right. Many people are intimidated by it, but it is actually much easier than a .500 tree.

[packofqtips]

my main thing is biuldin my truck the car is just a daily driver thats im gonna do some small things to cant keep a car stock for some reason

 

[jake98gst]

between a truck and turbo awd, i definitely wouldnt guess the jimmy was the weekend warrior.

 

[packofqtips]

if you saw the jimmy you'd understand who wants to drive a bouncing car everyday

 

[13secGST]

Yeh...you should be getting much better 60' with the AWD...launch a little harder...and you have it...for a completely stock GSX...thats not bad...do you have any extra weight in the car? Sub/s?

And how can you keep your car stock...do you realize what you have? It will love you if you mod it.
