Buddy had my g/f and her friend shoot some video.. this is my 15.79 run or w/e against a stock 03 v6
Bad shot quality, she'd never done it before.. I'm somewhere around 2:20 http://youtube.com/watch?v=AiU0qyubrn8 |
Talk about boring, seemed like the whole thing was in slow motion.

spin spin spin spin spin spin hook race is over. i talked to about 20 different mustang owners this time, and each one was experiencing 60' times in the 2.2-2.4 second range. some of these cars were 16 second cars, some were 12 second cars. i find it difficult to believe ALL of them are bad drivers. something else is wrong with the track IMO. im also ordering subframe connectors, and some other minor suspension mods to see if i can get more power planted to the pavement. if not, drag radials will be my next purchase. |
+1 for radials..and suspension..
My first two passes I spun a little, my last pass I spun bad all the way down the track..and i was in the far lane..whichever that is..all three passes.. Really need low end power and some acceleration.. Considering my buddy with a lightly modded 02 GT was running 13s on radials with a top speed lower then mine... I'm cussing..lol.. Unfortunately my power isn't built until like 3rd gear... But ya, the improvements are slowly coming on for me... I'm slowly becoming satisfied lol.. |

just go to the track more and more and hot lap the shit out of your car and you will figure out whats wrong real quick. i think it took me about 3-4 track trips with about 15 passes each trip to have my car down locked to run consistant 13.5's when i was N/A. i did all of this on street tires stock suspension give for pro kit springs.
|
15 passes per trip? Geeeeze. At atco your lucky to get 3 in during the whole 5-6 hours your there.

I've never been to Cecil. Atco only really has street cars on tuesdays and thursdays. Sometimes only tuesdays. Cecils something like 2.5 hours away whereas Atco is only a 30 minute drive.
|
atco was about 2 hours from dover and cecil took about an hour to get too...that was my commute for each trip i took i went about 3 times a month from feb to may and october to december. racing in the summer is a waste well i thought it was for me.
one night i drove from cecil all the way to seaville to take a girl home. i tell you that was a long F'ng drive she was worth the cause though LOL jersey girls all the same. |
lol
|
Gears much. I've got 4:10s and the posi waiting in my closet, I just need a tuner and master install kit..
on a good night here guys will get 5-6 passes, the two times i've been i've gotten..3 each night.. If I were n/a street tires wouldn't be a problem, but its the sudden jolt of a 75 shot that causes me to break traction... except for the last pass, where i didn't even hit nitrous because i was already breaking traction.. |
Without spraying you were losing traction? In a 6? How hard are you leaving dude?

Doesn't it make your car rack up miles quickly? Or is it tire revolutions? n00b question. |

On a side note, how do i calculate the revs per mile on my tire? I have 275/40/17's and my tuner is set to stock value. Anyone know?

I'm going to try and not sound like prick when I say this buy you guys really need to go do some real racing...
Find a track day event and go to it. If you think drag racing is fun, you have NO idea... No idea... Honestly, this post isn't to step on anyone's toes. Just YOU NEED TO GET TO A TRACK DAY! You don't know what you're missing. You'll never want to run a 1/4 ever again. This is me at Sebring in my '03 Mach 1 http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...deoid=16527500 http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...ideoid=9671233 This is me at Sebring in my '03 Z06 http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...deoid=36439777 |
i'm truly jelious sebring is one of my favorite tracks

All I was saying was how fun track racing is, settle down. P.S. Again, not to speak out of line but for the sake of our eyes, please use some punctuation. |

To each his own, you should stick to drag racing.

Again, not to speak out of line but for the sake of our eyes, please use some punctuation. i'm competitive. so, naturally i hate losing. thats why i stick to drag racing when im driving my stupid mustang. when it comes to the subie its a different story that little SOB will make some turns and cut some good times. i am comparing these times to cars that are on coil-overs and on better rubber. |

Every step I made up the mustang ladder was so damn fun. First I had my black, brand new 2004 V6 with 2 miles on it. Then I entered the V8 world with my BULLITT (amazing car by the way). Then I entered the 4 valve world with my '03 Torch Red Mach 1 until finally hitting the top of mustang line up with my '03 Cobra. I'd still own my mustangs if they just made them right. That Cobra IRS Just needs soooo much work to be in contention at the track. Ironically, nobody wants a mustang with IRS so what's the point. I was forced to buy a chevy and I'm still a little upset about that lol. My Z06 is faster on street tires than my cobra ever was on slicks. Not to mention after a few laps and the supercharger gets too hot, the cobra motor is about as limp as a noodle lol. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know you can cure it with a whipple but we threwa whipple on my friend mystichrome and every event it'd boil his coolant so believe me, I've done my research lol. -B |
