• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

can you say driver mod? best ET was 14.47, best trap speed was 100.12. i couldn't get off the line for sh!t. there's something wrong with running a 15.12 at 98mph... once i got into third i started pulling on most of the cars i lined up against. i have a timeslip for a car that took me 14.33 to 14.51. my trap speed was a full 5mph faster than his. there was about a 95 cobra, slightly modded. he ran a 13.77 at 98.95 vs. my 14.87 at 98.59. so basically, if i could get off the line at all, (my fastest 60' times were 2.3) i could surprise some people. i ran faster than a 4.6 auto mustang and a couple sn95's, and woulda had a 350z handily if i didn't miss second. still had a good time, hoping to hit 13's in the future
 


that was my issue at the track as well. my 60' times were **** and then i was trapping anywhere from 99 to 102 mph. my best 60; was 2.1 and my worst was 2.5 so ifeel your pain. the car ws bone stock though. with the ls1 intake swap, exhaust, and tune ill be interested to see my times. cant wait to get back to the states!
 
i was using launch control for most of them, so i was spinning a little bit. i think the biggest problem was when i had to shift. if i took first gear to 6000rpms or higher, it wouldn't go into second, so i had to short shift, couldn't no-lift-shift, and didn't have boost till a good way down the track. i tried to not use launch control once and got a TON on wheel hop, and seeing how i needed to drive it home, i decided against that
 


launch control holds the car at ~5000rpms. when i didn't use it i held it about 3800. it acted like it was gonna go hard, but i had to let out. it makes highest torque at 2000rpms, but it's hard to hold it around 2000 when it's a manual
 
haha it'll probably stall. i'll probably try from idle whenever i make it to the track again. launch control wasn't doing much, so i don't have much to lose. if i can NLS into second it might go better
 


I had the same issues with the SS/SC. Lose traction control, and practice. I eventually managed a 13.95@ 100 in mine, and yours will absolutely be faster.
 
13.63 apparently is the fastest stock SS/TC...bolt-on one was going high 12.8-9's here.

Probably crappy track prep.
