Went to the track and my 06 GT ran a best of 13.73@101mph. The first run was a 13.89@100.17 which I was very happy with. I was expecting a low 14 in the high 90s. The second was the 13.73@101.39. The third was a 13.93 @100.00. I left the traction control on and manually shifted from 1st-3rd. The Car bogs off of the line until about 3500 rpm and then really pulls hard. The only mods so far is a CAI from C&L. I ran 87 octane. 60' were in the 2.15 range. Yes it an Automatic

 

Don't Manu shift in the first place..............it doesnt work well and can screw up your tranny........Second thats a pretty good time and a decent 60 ft. I would like to see a print out.

 

Here are the time slips

 

Take traction control off and spin the rocks off them pirellis. Brake torque the car and give it the beans. you might lower it 1/10 or 2/10. all in all, great numbers for basically a stock mustang!

 

The track was prepped pretty good. Everything from 1500hp to stock cars was hooking. That last run was against a Turbo Supra (damn him). The 60 and 330' could have been better. I noticed that my car bogs until about 3500 rpm.

 

Yeah I see some consitancy in the runs where you had trac-on and off.....take trac-off all the time do not manu-shift since you have street tires spin your tires just enough to get the crap off maybe drop the tire pressure a wee bit and you'll be set to ge. Good runs though, but your done experimenting...lol no more of that.

 

I dont know how the weather is by you but get them pirellis at 31 PSI warm, and burn them tires up in front of the water pit. I have the same tires but in a different size. If its a nice day like 75 or up, them tires will turn sticky. Keep out of the water with them as much as possible.

On mine, I get in front of the water pit, and spin the rocks off, back up a tad bit, and ROAST the tires all the way to the tree.

 

Uhhh ok thanks. That was my first time at the track with the Stang but not my first time running at the track. My Hayabusa runs 8.20s I also used to have a 1984 GT . Damn that was 21 year ago.

 

you dont need to heat street tires at all just a few secs to clean off the rubber is all thats needed.

 

Ive got Pirelli Pzero Neros just like the new GTs do. They turn sticky if you warm em up enough as I mentioned above.

 

Well I think we know who the fastest person on the boards is now....

 

Dude, i love sportbikes, im just getting into them, im taking my MSF in the next couple months, and then im gonna get a ninja r500, or a CBR f3 or f4

then hopefully ill work my way up and get a gixxr 1000 or an r1 or mabey even a ducati 999

and damn. thats a fast busa

 

nope with a street tire just do as above street tires do not need ot be smoked that is a waste of rubber regarless of what brand tire you use unless its drag radials or slicks dont bother doing big smokeys at teh track it will hurt your time rather then help a simple 4-6sec burnout will be good enough to clean them off.

I noramly go around the water (ever car without skinnys up front should also do this) then rev it up dump the clutch let them spin for a few secs press in the clutch and stage. This was back when i had street tires and cut many 2.0x on stock good year rubber.

 

I never said anything about sitting and smoking them. I said warm em up because they get sticky. lol

 

it sounded like you ment smokking them, just clearing out confusion i guess?

 

I do a smokey to scare the little ricers next to me at the track......they have good reasons to be scared...bwahahaha

 

ya ive been wondering that now that i have dr's am i supposed 2 go thru the water? or just smoke them a lil and heat them up or wat

 

check the new sticky at the top of this forum.

 

How is the tread wear on yours? Those are what I got I noticed if you rub your finger on them rubber comes off after awhile...

 

where are you from? And what tracks do you go to. I am from maryland and we got some bike to try you with. not trying to start nothing but if you got a 8.20 busa you now how it is.

malcolm proctor.
"straight out the lab"

 

Um not too bad. Ive had well over 50 1/4 runs on em, plus ate them alive brand new on a road course. I dont burn out at all on the street or anything like that. ive got 11k on mine and they seem real good still.

 

ha, yeah, I ran a quick supra once at the track, the guy couldn't hook worth a darn. He had a 2.3 60' to my 1.9 and I had a bit better RT, about halfway down the track I hear what sounds like a jet plane go flying by me... lol

he beat me pretty good (pre blower)
