Ok I'm headed to the track next week friday

last time was a 16.77 at 82mph

Car
98 v6 auto

Mods last time
CAI, TB, UDP

this times the mods are
CAI, TB, UDP, 8.8 rear with t-lok and 3.27 (up from 2.73), custom true duel exhuast w/ stock cats and no cross over, sct xcal3 93 octane performance tune.


closest person gets 10 points (points are worth nothing)

 

15.7

 

If I were to hit that I would be really really happy

 

15.92... just throwin it out haha

 

16.1xx @ 86mph.

 

16.33

 

i am gonna have to go with 16:10

 

16.35

 

I'm going to go with 16.25

 

crazy cuz i was thinking 16.29

 

The reason I am curious is because my buddy is coming with me and he has an automatic 2010 mazda 3 hatchback and it's supposed to run between 16 and 16.2 (but that might be the manuals) and I want to know if I have a chance

 

16.20 at 85MPH.

i better get my 10 points if im right.

 

16.4 @85

 

I averaged all the guesses so far up..... cause I'm at work and bored and the average time is!!!!!! 16.16


which I'm going to be honest I think is a little fast

 

Average them again and ignore the 2 slowest and fastest

 

15.94 @ 86 miles per hour
Tie breaker 2.11 60 ft

 

Too lazy maybe tomorrow lol

 

I'm in no place to guess...but I'll throw one out there. I'm gonna say 15.9 at 91 if you drive it like you stole it. Maybe a 16.3 first run with a 2.3 60ft...

And pics/vid or it didn't happen.

 

Trap speed of 91 would be tough.. Eh' IDK, he could surprise all of us.

 

I'm counting on that 8.8'' with the 3.27 gear to be the deciding factor here. Not a lot of power from the engine, so better chance of it hooking up and having less/no tire spin..still all a guess.

 

I did that and with counting the newer guesses it's 16.15 now lol

I should probably mention that last time I went was my first time at the track and I had no idea how to stage and auto so I went from all break to all gas

My plan this time is to left foot break and get the RPMs up to just before the rears break loose so that I launch with my revs closer to where I actually make power

 

Launch on the third amber light too...it takes time for your foot to go down. Launching on the third amber will give you a better r/t.

 

Only leave on 3rd amber if you're in a coma

Hes gonna be power brakin it

 

im freezing it at low 16's

if you would have gone with 3.73s or 4.10's then i would say mid to high 15's

 

16.15@84mph 60' 2.38

Its still hot around here so I don't know what the weather is like out there. If its cooler you might hit 15's. Oh and run with a 1/4 tank of fuel or a bit more if you are far from a gas station. And take the spare tire and jack out of the trunk along with any unneeded items like floor mates and junk in the car.

Have fun! I had the most fun drag racing when I had my F150 and it was mostly stock and ran 16's. I had the most fun getting it into the 15's with just CAI,Efans,custom catback,shitty tune Superchips tune and weight reduction. Then I added nitrous and got it running high 13's with a few mods.

 

16.20's.


Don't waste your time power braking with the auto. I found the best results to be kind of stutter stepping it. Go 3/4 gas then to the floor. This method got me a 2.01 60' on street tires. No Nitrous, just 4.10's and bolt ons.

I was so damn nervous when I was making my nitrous passes that I power braked it. I didnt want to have to focus on too many things. I had shitty launches and only got a 1.996 60' with drag radials, nitrous, 4.10's and bolt ons. I believe I could of went 12.20's all night with at least a 1.89 60'.

 

I'll have to try that I plan on getting alot of runs in and taking a pen so as soon as I'm done with my run I can write on the back of the time slip what I did at the start and comparing them all

 

16.2x it all depends on how the track is.. on street tires I'd launch the car a little softer to keep from just burning tires..

And I have never heard of anyone on an auto giving it 3/4 throttle and then mashing it but hey, if it works for you..

 

Tried many different techniques and that seems to work the best when your on street tires.

 

Alright its Sunday, need some numbers !!!!!!!!
