My 1st Run

[WhoTippedMyCoW]

I ran a 16.260 in my 98 Eclipse GSX. it was defintaly not what i was hoping for but i wanna see if i did anything positive. My Reaction Time was .197 and 60 was 2.646. 1/8 was 10.575 @ 67mph 1/4 @ 16.260 @86.14

Any tips or any comments. Btw car is stock and i cant launch because the clutch just burns so i just feather it.

Repair the clutch (I know $$$) but the vehicle will launch (and finish!!) much better. GS-T, minimal mods, slow reaction time and spinning through 1st, 14.6

deff in the launch and 60ft. spend the money on a good clutch set up and youll be happier. just remember to properly break in your clutch

First off don't worry about reaction time right now. Means nothing to your final time. Yeah, 2.6 is a crappy launch, but you still should net a higher trap speed and time. A 10.5 @ 67 for the 1/8, hmm...... Something is not transfering power. Either your clutch of tires. Obviously, you already know the clutch is hurting, so start there.

Or, of course, the car is not running right.

I need new tires but like i said stock clutch is hard to launch off of. I think there is something definatly wrong with my car though but im not 100% sure what to check first besides a boostleak test which i have not done yet but lookin to do soon.

Im just kidding, I would definately look into a boost leak test and definately go to southbendclutch.com for an upgrade of some sort.
