There were 1.5L mirages doing better than that stock I'd be pissed if this is what I can expect. Moving to Orlando and can't wait to get on a real track so I have a base time to work from.
anyone?

Oh BTW our cars are 500 pounds heavier and have 30 more HP. I had a mirage.

In O-town, eh? Find Geo and his crew of DSM'ers (I'm sure you can find his addy on the mirage board). Of course, there are a lot fierce competition for track time . . . you might get to have at most 2 runs for the whole night (what I've heard). BTW: the facilities are good compared to Bradenton, but not as good as G'ville or W. Palm.
That's about right for manual stock Lancer that I've seen.
question about tires
hey B ... whats the biggest size tires i can get on 15s?? 205's ? also whats the lowest i can go.....50?? i want to get bigger tires and more low-pro if thats possible.....thx
DADDYWAGGS: what rpm are you launching off at and also what rpm are you shifting at...are you all stock or do u have any mods...i cant seem to get under 17.8.....well now that i have my CAI i should be under 17.8
The stock size is only 195/60-15, so yeah they'll fit. You'll accelerate, faster, but you'll lose some top end though. And your speedo will be out there. I can't think of a better bang for the buck tire out there. All the auto-xer's running street tires are running azenis. I'd get them but 225s will rub with the offset and spring combo my car has.

Don't worry I only want to run once or so. I want to experience it for myself but I am not going to make too much a habit of it. Here in Tallahassee right now there is no track so this will be an exciting experience for me. I went to a track in West Palm once and saw my dream car run. It was a black Supra and the guy had a bottle too. I don't remember how fast he ran but it was quick.
Anyway I can't wait. I'm sure I'll be one of the cars that looks like it is standing still off the line compared to the REAL racers but it'll be fun nonetheless.
I hope to run quicker than 17.8.

Black Supra . . . there are plenty of them batting in the 12 sec range. A majority of them are out of O-town being sponsored. There is one has a plate: "R U Lucky" that's a good one.
Supra
The one I saw did not have a wing. I thought that was odd for a supra but it looked really nice. It seemed to be running as quick as some of the more real looking drag cars. It just didn't pop the wheelies off the line like they did, but it was right there until the end. I think it was close to being street driven because the interior still looked pretty stock.

I am all stock right now except for my airbox filter, which was replaced with a K&N airbox filter. That in itself made it sound better and have better response from 1500 on up to red line. I rev the engine up to around 4k where peek tourqe is at. The breaks barely keep the car stopped there and then right before the green light I let go and bam i'm gone. I ****ft right at 5900. I run anywhere from 16.3 to 16.8. But I am also in Ohio where the weather is cooler and very unpredictable and we race at night from 6-10 on wed. at National Trails Raceway in Kirkersville. Wed. I am getting a front strut bar, and new hoses from RRM and a CAI from injen on the group buy.

I ran a 16.84 1/4 mile time in my OZ. My car is still stock. Wanted to see my time before the CAI from Injen and custom exhaust system going on this coming week. Not real fast, but not to bad for a economical grocery getter.
i went to morroso motorsports in West Palm Beach this weekend for the car show.....i didnt get to run my car, but i will be going on friday for test & tune night 6pm till 2am $15 for it, i hope i run at least a 16.6 with the mods i have....i will post here when i run....i may go down on wendsday too, so stay tuned
