Went to the drag strip...

Postby Robert_K » Mon Nov 24, 2008 9:14

Went out to Lonestar Motorsports Park this past Saturday. Track was very cold and everyone was fighting traction issues. All times are with a Pro Street Light. Ran with 3/4 tank of gas, full audio, spare and, my 285/35-19 Advan Sport tires. 12's are capable with more practice and traction. Overall I'm happy for being the first time I've ran the Z with the TT kit.

Best for the night:
R/T: 1.20
60": 2.23
ET: 13.252
MPH: 111.75

Others:
R/T: 1.22
60": 2.24
1/4: 13.482
MPH: 114.62

R/T: 1.28
60": 2.37
1/4: 13.456
MPH: 112.92

R/T: 1.07
60": 2.32
1/4: 13.535
MPH: 111.22

I could get those numbers in my 8!

Haha...just kidding. Good job, and looking forward to some numbers once you get more runs (and traction) under your belt!

Nice 114mph trap speed Robert :)

The traps should be good for mid-low 12's with a set of DR's & good 60 ft. One thing I miss about Texas... drag strips are open year round :(

You can definitely see the traction issues, as at sea level (Temple Academy Dragway), my old WRX used to run consistent 13.3-13.4's on the stock turbo (puny TD04-13T) with bolt-ons (TBE, up-pipe & pulley) & tuning.... but was only trapping about 100mph :lol: 60's spanned anywhere from 1.7-1.9. With your car trapping 14mph higher, that car has potential to pull MUCH lower ET's. Either way, good stuff Robert!
