well went to atco raceway lastnight to see what she runs. Last friday it was 60 deg and like 90% humidity, and my best time was a 14.59. I was really disappointed so I went back lastnight ..

temp was 45 deg, 53% humidity. Spare out, jack and tools, vsa off, left it in D3, and popped out the 03 plastic thing so the icebox could get more air (roadlamp replacements).


(I'm on the right) read sig for mods.

What has everyone else got with similiar mods and automatic?

And do you think 13.9 is possible once the Unichip is in on a nice cold night?

Where's Atco raceway?

blader

southern NJ. Where in NJ are you located Mclaren?

Nashua_Night_Hawk

Amazing times, CLS loves the cold air! Your 60 ft time of 2.1s is impressive!

anothercls

NJ is great for racing because it is below sea level.

was there a requirement to wear a helmet in Atco? I heard there was, but never confirmed either way.

good times

mclarenf3387

Yea, those are pretty good times.

I live middle-to north Jersey, like 6 miles away from Newark, in Livingston. You planning on going to Englishtown?

Ant7701

Nice ass times man....I think Mattg has u by like one onethousands of a second w/ a 14.16 but very impressive. Ohh and welcome to the 2.1 second 60ft club!!!

Ant7701

ohh...did u have on the 18's or stock rims and tires???

Chaptorial

Uh oh. I don't think we'll be lining up against each other on the 27th.

Awesome run.

blader

Yes, Atco requires you to wear a helmet.

I'll definetly be at acura wars. hopefully repeating that time or a 14.00

blader

I ran with the 18's and 235\40 pirelli pzero rossos. that setup is 6lbs lighter per corner than the stock wheel\tire setup. I dropped the front down to 26lbs and jacked the back up to 44lbs. seemed to work good, I stuck like glue out of the hole .. 2.17 60ft.

Chap I'd love to get a run against you .. I'm curious to see what you do with the pulleys\bpipe. I REALLY hope that Unichip can put me at a 13.9.

Randys

yeah yeah yeah... i got first dibs on blader...

hahaha, just kiddin... i can't wait... i promise not to spray ya the first time we run

blader

bring it Randy, with those heavy 19s

Nicky Pass

14.1 is very respectable. You'll beat most stock Mustang GTs!

blader

what are they stock, 14.6 I think right? I was running right next to one on the highway lastnight with two people in my car.

ga2000

blader with your tire pressure like that were you just punching it out of the hole or were you easing into it ..... and did you have your rpms up at all

ferizzo

maybe autos. Sticks can run low 14s pretty regularly (one guy ran a 14 flat while I was at the strip last time).

blader

I torque braked to about 2500 I think, I wasn't really looking it all happened quick. then when the last yellow light lit I just punched it. stuck to the track like glue

I've never jacked up my rear tire pressure, only lowered the front to around 22-23.

Does jacking up the rear make a big difference. I'd like to break into the 2.1 club but for now I'm stuck at 2.211

blader

I dont know how much of a difference it made, but it certainly makes sense to do it. The more air the less rubber on the ground, less drag, wheel spins with less effort. Definately can't hurt to try

njtls2

what car do you drive?

Randys

hey blader, you are gonna let me borrow your wheels right??? i'll let you throw my 19's on the back of your car... hahahaha.... i guess i'll be throwing 2 stock wheels in my trunk and switching them at the track...

blader

I hope you have different tires on your stock wheels Randy, cause if you have stock rubber on them you'll never stick. have you ever weighed one of your 19s?

Randys

nope... havent weighed them, but they feel pretty heavy,... i'll see what i can do once it stops snowing

as for the stock wheels... i have some soft compound dunlops that stick pretty damn good, so i should be ok...

its gonna be a busy weekend this weekend... gettin ready for Acura Wars

sgmotoring

What is perfect R//T? How much do you weigh?

blader

what do you mean? what is the perfect reaction time? I dont know but on one of my runs I pulled a .130 something reaction time. I think .05 is red lighting.

I weigh 150lbs.

Don't worry.. you can still beat him... it goes by your dial-in time.. it's not straight up racing (if they do it like last year anyway).

BTW, nice times!! Nice reaction times too... mine are usually either a tick over or a tick under one second....hehe.

lou_RENAMED

yea good runs Blader but I we will run on the 27th

good shit to and I think your car could sub 14 after the chip

you're going to the wars ??

blader

Yes lou I'm going to the wars. Your running your Benz? Will they let you run a mercedes that day??
