that guy keeps saying 12.9 stock. Get some mods and run a 12.0 with turboback or repeat that 12.9.

 

what he said^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A nice shallow stage,like just barely turning on the staging light(2nd light) will give you a nice low 60' time,but you will really have to adjust your reaction time as it will be quite a bit slower than a "deep" staged vehicle.Depends on if you go to the track to be a "Poser" and brag about how fast your car was at yada-yada-
yada test and tune day,or if you go on race day to win rounds.A good reaction time and consistant car will put you further in eliminations than one quick pass ever will.All depends on how serious you take drag racing.To each his own.

 

For people who don't frequent the track every week, it takes some getting used to to get good 1/4 mile times. It takes me about 3-4 runs to get used to launching at the track. Times represent driving skill. Trap speeds represent how much power the car has and how well it's tuned. Geez.. I don't see why people get worked up over the times so much.

 

very well said!!

 

Actually trap speeds will also depend on the driver not just the power the car makes. The driver can raise the mph up by shifting at the correct points and shifting quicker, both will keep the mph from stalling during a run. Key points are dont think about the shifting and dont over extend any of the gears.

 

Hey guys I went back to the track every since I fractured my elbow....it was a hot and humid day thus hurting the cars performance. My clutch was slipping too wich kinda sucked. My best run that night was a 12.7@108. My cousin with his mustang mach1 hit a 12.5 @ 108 with drag radials. The other best car there was a yellow evo he was hitting 13.1 @ 107 so it wasnt a bad night the other sti's and evo's where running high 13'2 and even some low 14 second passes.

 

hey boston evo..nice runs man

i'm the yellow evo u talked to, that ran a 13.1 @107...kinda suck though..with that trap speed i should be able to hit somewhere in the high 12s...still gotta work on my luanch...and my clutch doesnt seem to take it well on launches anymore..oh well..i think i'm gonna go w. the ACT set-up as well...yeah the weather kinda sux..humid and hot...me and one of my boy(w. a red evo), were gonna go back up there next week...if u wanna meet w. us and go up that'll be kool...

hey q dont sweat it bro our clutches are still stock dont forget but they still have sack...it when we are launching the car the clutch is heating up and having trouble holding in the high rpm's...ive noticed that twice in second gear and end of 4th. No biggie. I will def be up there friday should be a good night because my cousin with his srt-4 will be running he has prob close to 300whp...then my cousins red gsx should be there he has around 450whp on pump gas tuned by turbo trix. My cousin with the mach 1 should be there to it will be a good night.

 

I should be up there this sat for NED import wars hope to see u guys up there.
