Track was slow. Not prepped, no grip.

I've got almost the same mods as Petergnuyen504 and ran the same day/track Eric did - 14.4 here too.


If we were at Rockingham, both accratien and I would've/should've run 14.1's.

Alex did a great job to run the time he did un-modded.

 

^^ Having the same mods as someone doesnt mean you can match his time. Besides you still need precat deletes, a catback exhaust, and the test pipe installed to match his. Those mods would def help you get better times.

 

I didn't expect to match his time - I figured 14.1x - accounting, at least in part, for the differences. Also, not sure when he posted that time that he had the Pre-Cat deletes - could be wrong on that though; I'd have to look at the thread.

Consider this:

Last year in March and similar conditions (low 60's, dry) with Springs, TB Spacer, mudest weight reduction and stock MXM4's I ran 14.37 @ 97 mph. At Rockingham.

This year, with the mods in my sig, plus similar weight reduction, I ran 14.44 @ 98.x mph.

I will not accept that those mods made me slower. Track was slow - I was there. NOBODY was getting hooked up. 14.2x should be easy; 14.1x realistically possible.

 

I stand corrected, I was thinking of matching Petergnuyen504 14.2 before the Pre-Cat deletes.

 

Jim if you're looking to do a better time, Rockingham will be open on sunday the 15th i think. Phantasm streetwars. You should go there and see how you do on that track.

 

G-Tech timers for the gay! WOW...I thought we meant REAL times from a track here...

OK....

10.6 @ 114mph on the G-Timer.


Dude....those things are damn near worthless. I have one myself.

 

Eric....its nice to hear you actually taking your car to the track some! Get er done man!

 

14.28s @ 100.6mph - Traction off (first time ever at the track)
2.9s 60'

Mods: no spare tire and backseat, CAI, Ronjons on Falken 912's 235/40/18

 

How were you able to run 14.20's with a 2.90 short time??

 

gotta be a typing error. 2.4 maybe??

 

I've also seen from decomissioned members run:

types-09 went 13.2 at 107?

OMP Prelude went 13.1 at 105






How about any lurkers here. Come on! Post up.

Excellent!

This is the first time i've seen that post. It has everything listed out in a well organized fashion. Donald did some good work with that post.

Thanks for posting that.

Fastest E.T. NA - 13.7
Fastest E.T. Boost - 13.1

Fastest Trap NA - 103

^^ does a 6MT accord count??

 

Of course it does, it's a 2dr Honda TL

That 103mph trap is with only AEM CAI and CT exhaust?? Hmm...

 

Here is a copy/pasted post I made after taking my bone stock TL-S 5AT to the track, this is posted in the "Quarter mile compilation" thread in the racing section. Post #101

One of my friends that manages the speed shop where I buy the parts for my Z06 had a private lane at the local drag strip yesterday. I had to be somewhere early afternoon so I decided against bringing the Z06 since I didnt feel like swapping on the drag radials (not to mention the car is spotless clean in the garage) so I brought my 2007 TL Type S. The car is a 5AT and it bone stock, I had 1/2 tank of fuel, I didnt remove a thing from the car in terms of weight reduction..... I have a sub box in the trunk, Weathertech all weather rubber mats over the stock mats etc.....

Best pass was:

R/T......797
60'.......2.217
330'.....6.189
1/8th...9.422
mph.....75.85
1000'....12.205
1/4.......14.540
MPH......97.23

I played around with launching the car a bit before going..... I found that stalling the car on the converter resulted in a bog/delay before taking off hard, I found the best result from holding one foot on the brake and the other just off the gas pedal... I simultaneously released the brake and mashed the gas to flash the converter.

The weather conditions were quite good with density altitude running right at the track elevation of around 700' above sea level.

Overall Im a bit dissapointed in the performance of the car, it leaves waaaay too soft despite trapping decent MPH. The auto in this car really blows for any type of racing (quite nice for daily commuting though)..... way too much torque management type of tuning. Im sure a good tuning program or some mods that pick up on low end torque (such as a UD pulley and maybe a J-pipe) would help a ton. I also think a little wheel spin off the line may have helped get the rpm's up on the launch. This track is notorious for being very well prepped (I have gotten as good as 1.75 60' times on regular street tires with my previous vette and as good as 1.80 with my current one) so there was no chance is being able to spin the tires with this car making the power it does.

Before anyone comments on why didnt I just get a 6MT...... I use this car for work, I take clients out, drive in downtown Chicago traffic, multi task etc... I also have a better half who does not care to drive a manual so when I am driving the Hummer she needs a car with an auto to drive so a 6MT wasnt an option even though I strongly considered it.

 

dayum.. How fast are FORd Maverick's stock? My dad was bragging about how he used to own one and he said it was fast, lol. I was like wth is a ford maverick? and did a lil picture research and that thing wasn't that great looking.

had a good laugh, lol.

 

Yeah, ~2.40 is what I was figuring. A 2.90 turned into a respectable 2.20 would drop that 14.28 down to around 13.30 and that's not happening in any stock TL.

 

06 TL manuals are faster then 07 TL-S automatics IF TRACTION HAPPENS.

 

I'm still around just been really busy and this season i plan to break in to high 12s

 

and 07 Types S manuals are faster than all! lol

 

You said it 5AT FTL

I never dynoed my car so i dont know the hp, but i went to the the track this wednesday and friday and the fastest i was able to run was 14.374 @97.63 my 60 foot was 2.236. i figure i get my 60 foot down and ill get better numbers right? thats how it should work, but not for me, on one run my 60 foot was 2.192 and i ran 14.403. i guess i just gotta keep going to the track

mods: Atlp exhaust, Atlp race pipe, Atlp j-pipe, R-v6 pre cats, Aem cai, tb spacer, ur crank pulley, IM gaskets, and dropped on tein ss.

 

Wow, that's quite the list of mods. You should be trapping MUCH higher than 97mph and probably be in the 13s..

 

peternyugen504 (sp?) ran 14.02 @ 101.77 with similar mods. Same car TL-S, 5AT.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=125

 

13.8 @ 102 N.A.
13.2 @ 107 boosted.
all on street tires.

 

14.04 @99.71...2.24 eh 60' (highest trap 100.82)

RV6 Jpipe/test pipe
Fujita CAI
Mid/Driver side muffler delete
Stock tires

 

I will have about the same set-up as you soon. I would be fine with 13.7 1/4 mile @ 101mph. and 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.

 

man i was hopping to break in to the 13s.... but you got a type s and ran 14.3

i got a base tl with almost the same modds but i dont have an exhaust....

 

The best run I've had so far with this TL zMax drag strip, concord NC 4/8/09. Weather was beautiful and temp was nice and cool!


R/T .226
60' 2.292
330 6.198
1/8 9.347
MPH 78.88
1000 12.027
1/4 14.290
MPH 99.87

 

Sorry bro but would you or anyone else care to explain what GTECH PRO SS is ?

LOL.

That link is awesome Bearcat hahaha. Bookmarked.

 

Fastest E.T. NA - 13.77
Fastest Trap NA - 103mph

 

I have a hard time believing the numbers in your post and sig.

 

the only thing that is not true is the ebay electric supercharger, it was a joke, its actually a vortec supercharger, why dont u guys come down to Imstar at MIR, I'll be running my NSX in the street stock class, anyone else running

 

OBX headers on an 04 TL??? WTF. They only made those for second gens and they suck in quality and performance. Even without the E charger doubt that s2k will break 12.5 unless there was some sort of power adder.

 

Cbr. I'm gunna call bullshit on that

 

luda your in richmond Va come up and see me run 12.7 or faster with just a 75shot at imstar


cb169 sold the Cl-S6 to me since then its gone 12.9street tire and 13.4 all-motor Street tire. all with 2.1-2.2 60ft so I know for sure it will do 13.0-13.1 on drag radials ALL-MOTOR!!!! 3.2L

well heres the video of his TL that he only had for 1 week LOL and it ran 13.7
www.Chrisr-photography.com click misc videos then look for a silver TL
