I bought my 03 on a thursday and had at the drag strip on Sunday. This was my first time at a drag strip and i had only logged a couple hundred miles of seat time in the car. So let me know how i did...

My best 2 runs
r/t .66
60' 1.893
330 5.659
1/8 8.879
MPH 76.94
1000 11.631
1/4 13.983
MPH 97.38

r/t .352
60' 1.934
330 5.689
1/8 8.883
MPH 77.51
1000 11.626
1/4 13.946
MPH 98.77

and to answer the question before it gets asked.. yes i my grandma was shifting the car for me.

 

I don't know what to say... those times are really bad. The 60' is actually not too bad. It seems you launched better than you drove. It's like you weren't flooring it all the way.

 

Yeah, the launches aren't bad at all for a newbie, but the car itself appears to suck total ***. Where is Sussex, what is the elevation, what were the temps and humidity, is the track uphill, what octane were you using, was the car weighed down with a dead body in the trunk, and is it modded at all?

 

Your times are fine, your 60' are not bad at all for a noobie. I think you ran well.

 

the car was stock with 23k on it when it was at the track. the temp was 30-35 degs, and i had about a 100lbs, of computer **** in my trunk. the elevation of the track is 2100ft. and i was running 93 octane pump gas.

 

Your times sounds about right..

 

He's only about 2 mph off what a stock car should run.


He can fix the 60 and ET in future runs.

I'm so glad both us and the UK run the Imperial system. What the heck do they have other places, 1000 meter tracks?

 

yeah that sounds fine my 03 stock WITH SUNROOF AND WING AND 18" wheels ran a 13.8 best out of 5 runs. Remember ur not a professional drag racer like alot of other people on here CLAIM or PRETEND 2 be. None of us are running consistent 6 second runs on here. Also 1/4 mile times are the same bull**** on here as hp and (PROPER WAY OF FIXING OR WHAT PART 2 RUN OR NOT 2 RUN). Sorry guys not bashing anyone on here my 2cents tell me that we have 2 many fibbers on here about hp and 1/4 times on here just 2 beat the previous guy that stated a #

 

I hope this a joke

 

me too. People routinely post links to their timeslips and dyno sheets. There's no "fibbing" about it... WTF? In fact if anyone claims ANYTHING and doesn't back it up with paperwork or video they'll be immediately run into the ground. Simple as that. Neither do people claim to be professional drag racers. There's a difference, though, in just not being able to drive. Which (not bashing) means that the car is being wasted. It's like buying a 60" plasma TV and only looking at the bottom corner of it...

 

You did fine - do yourself a favor and make your boost leak tester now and test away. It seems the most common demon for stock Evos.

 

For a stock vehicle with a wing and I assume a launch that wouldn't put your transmission at risk, pretty good times.

 

The thing is that a 1.8-9 60' is a decent launch... it's the numbers after the launch that seem not quite up to par. The suggestion to look for a boost leak is a good one.

 

MBC turn it up to like 26psi with GOOD race gas. u can probably get low 13's and high 12's with nice launch.

thaats not bad either. I hit 13.8@100 stock 03's and with mbc with racegas 13.0@107's
it's an 03' don't feel bad.

 

thanks to everyone for the input. I will have my car back to the track as soon as I get my exhaust on, and i will post my new times.
