i ran alot of 14.2 and 14.3
my best was 14.0 @ 99.5 mph
so close to the 13's :x
not bad for a stock motor
cant wait for the boost :twisted:
my setup is 89 crx with jdm h22a no lsd

And I still think there's some power left in it.

Ran a 13.1 @ 108mph. Was very disappointed. :x

Your car, if I remember correctly, looks very nice though.

What kind of rubber are you running? 13.1@108 = lots of spinning.

245/40ZR18 in the front and 285/35ZR19 in the rear.

Thanks. I wanted to stay longer since my ET was dropping as the track was drying up but gf was getting pretty pissed since I was only 6 hours late, lol.

What are your 60 foot times like?

[boostedd15b]

my 60 ft were 2.2's and 2.3's

Damn women. I'd say slap some drag radials on the car, and you've got mid 12's in the bag.

I'm hoping to be in the 12s just stock if I can. :)

Last year, I ran 4 13.0@108's. I was so fucking pissed I didn't get a 12.9 run in the Buick.

Huh?

Ok, not lots, but some. I have seen mid-high 12's out of that trap speed, never at Luskville but that's not to say it couldn't happen.

There is a 12 in that car, just like there is a 13 in boosted's ride, it's all in the driver.

That I agree with. :wink: A 108 mph trap speed with a 2.0 60 foot time and a 13.19 ET means very little spinning. What it does mean is you can not be that aggressive off the line. If he was running slick and could launch at a higher RPM then upper or mid 12's at that trap speed would be no problem.

I ran a 13.2@110 mph at luskville with very little spinning (2.0 60 foot) but I had to take it very easy off the line. At a better prepped track a 110MPH trap would mean mid 12's since I would be able to launch harder.

Mehdi that car looks great man!

[Simpo]

That black CRX wasn't that bad!!

Best time i've seen with the c6 was 13.3s but the car looked badass.


a guy i know ran 13.9 with a ls-vtec setup at his first run (jdm conv. teg multicolor lol)
eg type r 14.4 ( :cry: )

that gsr supercharged orange eg coupe blew at the end???? when i left the guys were looking at the car, hands in the pocket lol... anyways, somethings blew that for sure with the noise it made!!!

shitty times again at sucksville lol.. boring night ahaha

BuzzHaze, nice pics you took. Thanks for posting them. I didn't know who you were or I would have introduced myself.

Jason, thanks for the comments. I was launching at 2000 rpms to not lose the back end. Still trying to get used to the RWD, hahaha. Am I shifting to early if I was spinning too much in 2nd gear or is it because I'm to slow of the launch?

Any pointers from anyone is appreciated.

You use to own a silver mustang? Did you get rid of it to get the Vett?

[-=M=-]

Oh and the vett is sexy.

No problem. I gave you my card because I knew you would want a few shots. Anyone who isn't afraid to tortures a $70K car at the track is OK in my books!!!

I'm sure there is a launch RPM that will give you a good 60ft, maybe get a set of ET Streets on steel rims for the track. If you had slicks, you would be running much better ET's. The Vettes seem a little light in the back end considering the power they have. Weight transfer will be key in getting low ET's. Find out the power band and try to shift within it.

It will take some time and practise but I think you have all the ingredients to make some good passes. Hope to see you up again soon

I tought late model vettes had an excellent traction control system..
Or do you disable it ?

Nope, never had a mustang. I had a 2nd gen mx6 on juice 3 years ago.

You always turn it off before racing.

Thanks man. I never got your card but I friend of mine said someone gave him a card for pics.

They are pretty light on the back. Everytime I hit a slight bump on the road, I lose the back end. Been chatting with other C6 owners that are running mid to high 12s and getting some pointers from them. Next time I'm gonna swing by later in the day when it's a bit cooler and dryer. :)

Will definitely come by again this year, so hopefully see you and get some pointers from you on my runs.

Forgot to turn it off on a few runs which killed the runs. :x Wish it didn't reset itself everytime the car is turned off.

What do you run with the Traction control on ?
How does it feel ? Does it let the car "chirp hop"? Or it just feels sluggish off the line ?

I remembered reading an article about how the traction control enabled the best times 0-60mph in the Corvettes. Haven't bothered checking with the actual owners to see if that was true.

the ECU shuts the fucking TB down. What do you think it does?

In simple terms, you spin the tires a bit, active handling kicks in and cuts power to the wheels. I was getting 13.6~8 when I would forget to turn it off. It would kick in on the launch and the shift from 1~2 since I would spin as well.

[NTIMD8]

I can imagine how many people race Vettes and beat them simply because the owner of the Vette has no idea about traction control and to shut it off if they want to launch hard. We saw a guy at Sanair once running low 14's in his C5 Vette, we told him about tractin control and to turn it off and he was then running low 13's.

So much for that sophisticated performance oriented traction control the magazine idiots where talking about...

I think it is meant more to keep you out of trouble in the corners rather than to allow you to launch eaier. Don't know much about it though.

They were talking about the TC making the car faster 0-60mph. I guess they can't drive or something

On my Oldsmobile LSS S/C the TC helped on the launch and it gave me just as good 1/4 mile time with less wheelspin. I usually took it off because it was more fun. It was as easy as pressing a button right beside the steering column.

However the TC didn't work in the rain or snow. The car would just spin a whole lot.

Yeah. I have a check list I have to go through in my head everytime I line up now. TC off, A/C off, Stereo off, helmet on, and finally gf out :arrow:

:lol:

The TC comes in handy when it's wet ground for sure. When it rains, I don't dare to turn it off. Every turn if your not careful, the back end gets a bit loose.

It would be useful in the twisties as it kicks in when the Gs are getting up there. I think mine kicked in at 0.8 or so Gs.

Its for safety, just imagine one day you're stunting about trying your hardest for people to notice you, and it starts to rain, and you spin out into a wall because your traction control had been disabled.

I suggest you stop worrying about a 12sec et, You have a decent car, YOU know its fast, that should be all that matters. :)

Never really got the car to get noticed. Been a dream I made come true. I don't even notice people are looking until someone yells out something. :)

Getting into the 12s is more for being were I should be running. Once I get there, I'm satisfied. Not modifying it at all. Not worth it. I doubt I will ever go to shannonville because I would be scared to go off the track, if I do, TC will be on the entire way, lol.

That's too bad. I was just going to say you should come to Shannonville with us on the 6th but if you do not feel comfortable then thats cool.

no, the Z06 is.

Would it be worth playing with the PSI in the rear to get traction?

I don't feel comfortable with car completely yet since I drive it only when I'm home Friday nights and Saturdays. Maybe if you guys are going for the August date still, and I got to know the car by than, I'll tag along. :D

Thanks for the invite.

[Scar Dem]

I don't think it'll help much. I reduced the pressure a bit but they are flat run tires 285/35ZR19 Goodyear supercars. 19in rims don't help my runs either.
