My First Time at the Track!! 15.3 do i need to b doing better??

I went to the track last weekend and had a lot of fun! But my lowest time was 15.3!! My CL-s auto w/ sportshift is all stock!! Should i be doing better than 15.3?

15.3 is not bad for your first time at the track, but its better if you post your entire slip. Post your 60 ft time and trap speed.

BTW a stock cl-s should be around a 14.8-15.1

next time you go to the track lower your front tires to about 20-25 PSI depending on the track. a 2.4 60ft time indicates that you must have gone full throttle right form the start, you have to feather the peddle until your about to grap traction then mash it. Its all about the launch. practice that and your 60 time will go down and so will your 1/4 time. a good 60 time should be around 2.1x-2.2x.

92 MPH might indicate a broken actuator, but im not 100% sure but it dosent hurt to check.

the actuator is located near the middle of the strut bar. you need somone to rev your engien to above 4000 RPMs and see if the actuator turns. there should be a FAQ about this, ill try to find it
