Talking Damn I'm slow...

I took my car to the track tonight for the first time... ever. Never been on a track before. Ran 17.128 at 81.3mph and beat my friend's 99 Saab 9-3 and then ran 17.046 at 81.9 and got raped by my other friend's GLI.

I have horrible reaction time. 0.5

2.2cl with a bone stock everything.

So.... flame on everybody.

Do some mods to your car, go to the tracks more often, you'll get better and your et's will drop. no worries!

He kept messing up at the launch and ran 15.8's and 16.0's

My other friend had a 1.8T and ran it better than the GLI.

lol yep. No need to be ashamed.

I was always wondering what I'd run, but now I guess I know.

Do you have an auto or manual?

Manual. I was expecting to be somewhere in low 17's.

You have a 3.0 though so you might be somewhere in 16's.

Yeah but it's an auto.

I'll take it to the track after I finally start doing stuff to the engine.
