Bad night at the track
Well I finally took my car to the track and was very disappointed. I got in plenty of runs, but couldnt break into the 13's....I hate these stock tires. My best run was 14.01 @ 107mph....i love the fact that my trap speed is enough to get into the 12's, but no matter what i did I couldnt get a decent 60'. I even let the mechanic who worked on my car drive it a few times and the best he could manage was 14.03 @ 106mph. So, now i know my car is capable of low 13s or high 12s, its just a matter of getting out of the hole.
Then on the way back, i was messing around w/ the supra (@360whp) we brought and we did a couple of pulls and were neck and neck from 40-115. But a few miles down the road we got pulled over cause someone called us in. Luckily we both said we werent drag racing and got off with warnings. The only thing that is gonna make me happy is when you guys see the video of me and Fastvteccl from the street because that shows what my car can really do. Keith, you got for now mofo, but wait til i get slicks

Re: Bad night at the track
I guess you have NOS? Trap is very high for a bolt on 6spd.

N02 is not damaging when used properlly and a 55 shot cant hurt much , zoot did you block the rear springs? when you launch did you notice the rear end sitting down? and maybe you should spray after you get out of the hole...oh BTW im not sure anybody can get 12's on a 106 but certainly 13.5's

Type R, no i havent blocked the rear springs, for some reason none of my friends (myself included) can get my car to launch right. Like I said before, I tried every trick in the book and it spun 1st, 2nd, and barked 3rd....and trust me i wasnt hitting the nitrous too early b/c my all motor time i did the same thing, but didnt bark 3rd. Oh well....practice makes perfect

That torque converter in the auto allows for slop but that slop smooths out the launch. For drag racing, particularly when bracket racing, an auto is often prefered. But on a road course the manual is king (disregarding then SMG tranny).
