i ran a 15.4 stock TL type S with some crap in the back
my car weight about 3750 and out temp was about 97
is my time normal or i should of done better?

 

15.4 ???? u should have pulled atleast a 13 dude.

<~~ smokes crack :o

 

WTF are you talking about. Are you being sarcastic, or are you just sadly mistaken. I WISH a stock TL-S could do the 1/4 in 13 seconds. The time he did under his stated circumstances seems about right. On a good day, a TL-S should run in the 14s if the conditions are right, i.e. cool weather, 70 or so; empty car, etc.

 

Um... I think he was joking... If you read his post, he said he smokes crack

 

maybe he meant 15.413 not 13.000. Considering the 15.4?? was before the 13, that's one way to read it.

 

I think this guy meant "15.13" not 13 seconds........15.4 doesnt sound bad maybe the conditions were not favorable.....97 degrees is pretty hot to do some runs....and you didnt mention elevation either which also affects the performance of cars

 

I ran a 15.2 with like 2.5-2.9 60' times in similar conditions and 100% humidity. I had 40 psi air pressure in all my tires. Next time I'll try to run it right (i.e. empty car and lower tire pressure up front to 23psi). I'm going back this weekend to see how I can do. I will post results early Sunday morning.

 

I don't know anybody who predicts a 1/4-mile time to the hundreth.


He was obviously joking with the 13-second run comment.



15.4 is actually pretty decent in 97-degree weather. I ran a 15.2 in 76-degree weather with a K&N only, 100% humidity. Then with all my mods right now, I ran a 14.5 in low-70's weather with 100% humidity.

By the way, how did you figure the weight? Just curious what factors you were using.

 

Wuh!! What were you thinking pumping up the front tires to 40 psi!? That's probably why you were getting crappy 60' times. But it sounds like you already figured that out, so I'm going to spare you the lecture.

 

I guess no one bothered to read the smokes crack part. I'm Rick James Betch :sqntfawk:
