330... 5.900
1/8... 9.081
Mph... 76.78
1000... 11.861
1/4... 14.167
Mph... 98.23

Bone Stock!

 

get better at launching.

 

I'm hoping that was in the R32 and not the evo!!!

 

can inbrove on the lanuch and also shifting. may not be smooth or fast reacson. so there for its a lose of time. practice makes perfict

 

nice avatar Should be 14 sec club until you break it...

I don't understand why your mph trap speed is so low; it's definately your launch.

 

Defnitely work on that launch as i see your 60' time is pretty high. I'm sure you know who will chime in any time........

 

first time to the drag strip I got a 13.7 @98mph with a 1.92 60'
You got the same milage so just keep on practicing your launching method.

 

true that!

 

No worries... Practice. My very frist run in my Evo I bogged and ran a 16 I think. I'm still learning how to launch. Best of luck.

 

Your launch needs to improve, with a better launch not only should your E.T. improve, but also your mph.

 

me 2!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude what did you not launch @ all?

Thats a bad time man seriously! even bogging at the line gives you a better time.

 

yeah. a 2.1 is seriously bogging the car out of the hole. next time leave at a much higher rpm, ususaly between 6000 and 7000rpm and release the clutch quickly. you need to keep the engine rpm up where the car makes power.

If you can turn that 2.1 into a 1.7, your 14.1 will become a 13.5. every tenth off the 60' is normally 2 tenths off the ET. the mph will improve as well, as your wasting the begining part of the track not accellerating.

 

Becareful w/ the 6-7k drops at the track on the stock car. A little over a month ago I was at Bandimere and did the 6k drop and now I'm replacing my front diff. $30 to race, $1500 Quiafe Diff.

 

With no mods and being your first time, you did fine as far as the mph goes, so you know your car isn't underpowered. So, now you just need to learn how to launch. Your 60' was equivalent to a decent FWD car, so you need to cut that down by at least .2-.3s. The moment you get that 60' down to 1.8 and then combine it with fast shifting, you'll be in the mid-to-high 13s easily. NO sweat, man, just get some more practice...
