Dang man, Id figure the v6 would cut better 60 foots. Nice time though.

how were you starting? any power braking or just chilling and easin into the throttle nicely, these are things I should figure out prior to hitting up a track and makng a big fool out of myself.
yeah, u should power brake, its helps a lot on the launch
sorry for the delays guys. the car is an automatic and I was powerbraking everytime. I found that the warmer the G gets the less she wants to do a quarter mile.
so i guess were about the same.. but i noticed that my first time was the best and then the rest were shit.. couldnt get any fasterQuote:

Don't dilute it, use it full strength. Put it into a windex bottle and put it in your freezer the night before you go to the track. While you're at the track, it should thaw out, spray your intake manifold down with it. If you can get your intake temperature down you should be able to shave a tenth. Trust me. If you're running 16.00's all day, you'll thank me. Just remember putting ice on your motor is usually prohibited at the track because you'll put water on the track. As long as you use an alcohol based liquid it will evaporate quicker than water. Just a little freebie mod. I don't want any posts about how its not worth it for a tenth.
seth, ima cry (jk).. i went to the track the other week and my cluch started acting up after the first run.. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif i got 10.923 on the first run w/ a .7 reaction time(wasnt ready) anyways.. i guess ill slap a slave and a new line on it and bleed it extra good and try again..
oh btw thats my 1/8th time.. i havnt gone to the 1/4 yet..
You 1/8th is about the same as Kevins(Grims), in which he ran a 16.8 with his slipping clutch. Fix the clutch, you could run mid 16s all day.
I don't have my time slip. In my country there is no such thing as time slip.....if want to see yours u have to go to the circuit tower and look it up for yourself...no printer...
Anyway, my best is 14.7. I have 8g galant with 6a13tt FWD auto trans. The mods I have on the car: emanage ultimate, custom down pipe n 2.75 exhaust piping, HKS titanium exhaust, and greddy boost controller.
all i have to say is that running your car with problems isn't the smartest thing, but if i break something it just gives me an excuse to fix it. i did a pass witht the following problems:
Completely shot clutch
Bad lower ball joint
going bad motor mounts (had them checked, they are on the way out)
and my injectors are clogged (additive in the gas can only do so much)
best time 17.6
worst 18.3 - clutch slipped at take off and almost stalled the car
best reaction time .7
i was very disapointed, but the good news is by spring i will have fixed these problems and added some goodies. and try another pass! and yes i have a 5spd with intake.
FYI: the sticky stuff they put down is not your friend, for the whole day i had whatever i stepped on stick on the tire.
I wish there was a way to compare autocross times.
15.8 @ 86 mph
Stock 4G64 with CAI and axle-back
back seats & passenger seat removed, trunk gutted and emptied.
left foglight removed for airflow......
18.5 @ 75.65 mph
no mods
full weight plus sound system and heavy 18" wheels
SES light came on my the end of the night

So on average.... what would a stock 6G72 auto run the 1/4??
At our altitude? :lol: Mid 17's. I ran a 16.1 with 5 lbs of boost out at RMR if that tells you anything.Quote:

Not terrible, but wheelhop was owning me. I will be in the 14's next time.
good shit man. now get yourself the ingalls engine stiffy and solve that wheel hop problem. you are definately on the fast track. what was your rolling setup? (tires, pressure, etc)
i cant wait to get back on the track with mine. the best i saw was a 15.4@ approx 93/94mph at 4500' elevation. ill be in the 13's when i get back dammit
I already got the stiffy. The car should be in the 14's, but traction has been a problem. I was at 15 lbs up front and 45 lbs out back, that was a weird experience.Quote:

That was on 205/55/R16's, and they wouldnt hook and wheelhop, or it would bog. I really didnt want to slip the clutch that much.
Should be better next time on some 225/50/R16's still at 15lbs, I shouldnt need to air down further. I'll also gut the car for the most part, and bring that weight down a couple hundred lbs.
All I need is an N/A 14.99 run and I'm spraying to 13's.
wow 3400lbs?! man i got mine down to 3040lbs the last time i weighed her. i havent cut any good times on the 205's i used to have. i now have the 225's and lowering the pressure made some difference but when you make as much low end as i do it doesnt matter. man i tried to launch in second and still lit them up all the way through second. i got a really good launch in first by letting it slip a little and peddling through first. that was when i cut that 15.4 @ 94. if i get a good launch i know she's a 14sec car here in utah which means trouble for those at sea level.
We dont have boosted cars, partial throttle first gears arent going to have the catastrophic effects on et's like a turbo car will. The only way to get a FWD car to get traction in 1st gear is to ride the clutch. Some of the best drivers will spin the tire and slip the clutch.Quote:

I need to race my car, Im hoping low 13's
With what?Quote:

looks like a 8g vr-4 would pull out some good numbers here!! Lol
Well, I pulled 17.2 with my almost stock automatic 8G. If I could've got better reaction time, I could've got into the high 16's.
Reaction time is taken out of your quarter mile time, that is a fucking classic ricer excuse.
on gran turismo 2 my 8g super vr-4 got it under 10.23 does that count?
Reaction time does not affect your 1/4 mile time. You could sit at the line for 20 seconds, and still run a 10sec 1/4. The clock does not start till your car brakes the invisible start line.Quote:

I would be ashamed to take my 8g there all stock with the auto trans. lol
haha dont b ashamed stock neons and civics go lol.. and i wont b ashamed cuz my auto keeps up with many cars it shouldnt and idk y but i love it lol
automatic is better in Drag racing anyway. just uber fail for anything else.
exactly!!! my dad changed between auto and 5 spd 5 times in his 87 mustang gt only 2 realize how much faster the auto is.. if i dont do the 5 spd swap im def building the shit outta my auto
take the same car auto and manual.......... the manual is faster. even in drag.Quote:
