Whats wrong with this picture? (except that my reaction time sucks!)

This is the time slip:

Temp: 88 deg.
Relative Humidity: 39
Absolute Barometer: 30.04

R/T: .493
60' : 2.395
330' : 6.546
660' : 9.905
MPH: 73.35
1000' : 12.805
1/4: 15.261
MPH: 93.05

I have an 03 CL-S 5AT with just an injen CAI and some neuspeed springs. I had my system and spare still in the trunk when I ran it but can that make much of a difference? I found it hard to get traction with my crappy stock michelin tires too!

 

RT doesnt matter.

system probably weighed you down.

and 60' isnt great. remove the system and drop the 60' you should be into mid 14s.

 

any suggestions? maybe shifting past redline or how to brake launch it?

 

yea, brake torque to like 2,000 rpms. take out your system. you cant shift past redline. ?

 

Yea i can, a little bit. When i was brake torquing at 2000 I was just spinning all through first, with 1000 rpms there was no spin but it felt slow so at 1500 rpms there was a bit of spin but not too bad. I think I should be fine if I get new rims with sticky tires.

 

trust me ur not going past the technical redline. it just looks that way on the tach. theres a limiter. practice shifting right before banging it.

 

well I mean i didnt hit the cut-out point.

 

Anybody else want to share their stock CL-S times?

 

60' 2.19 michelin pilot sports. launch off idle. seems to work better for me.


my 1/4 mile is 14.81
my trap speed is between 97.3-98.1 though.
i don't understand why my trap speed is so high, but my time isn't in the low 14's?

 

damn.. my old cl-P ran a flat 15.1 b4 I charged it.. something must be wrong here

 

I'm going to get some new tires possibly rims and take out my system and try running it again, see what i get.

 

Did you go to Infineon? I've been wanting to go for a while.

 

yea i did go to infineon. There are no more drags til august 9th though. And I'm probably going to be going up there the week after.

 

Oh alright, I'll try and make it one of those days then. Maybe I'll see you there.

 

Eddie, let me know when you are going to infineon next time. Sounds like fun, i might want to head out there too. I'll have my spacers and CT headers on by then.

 

how much you pick up your headers for? and from where?

 

Let me know too, it'd be sweet to have a few CLs there and to meet new people.

 

Yeah, we should get a mini meet going to the drags. scuc, the pressure will be riding on you, the 6spd, to give us CL's a good showing with some fast times... hehe

Eddie, I got em from CleanCL here on the forum. He had two sets, one set that he jet-hot coated and kept for himself, and his old set that he no longer needed. I'm gonna swing by Matthel's to get it put one next weekend.

 

Yea we should get a few more cars out there and make it a mini meet.

 

Check to see if your actuator is working.

 

pretty sure it's working

 

So, what's up with Infineon Weds night?

 

I was there yesturday, did a lot better.

 

I went too, got my ass kicked by eddie. I will be back again. Haven't had time to check the IMRC, but I have a feeling it's that!

 

Damn guys, let me know next time. Never been to the track, maybe you guys can give me pointers.

 

i might be going up there again on the 30th of this month

 

The ABP is Eddie's car.

Have fun this Wed. if you're going again.

 

yep thats my fairly stock looking baby. I might be going back to infineon on the 30th if I get my new tires, every1s welcome to come

 

BTW do you have any more pics or vids from the track?
