Im heading out to the track tonight! **TIMES ARE POSTED**

[Zim]

for the first time ever im taking my car to the drag strip. However there is one catch, its a 1/4 mile strip, and my car wont go over 76mph right now with my gear ratio since i havnt removed my rev limiter, but thats ok... im just gunna go for 1/8th mile times. It is going to be funny though how ill never have a run past 76mph lol... ill prolly run like 19s

[Rellik]

Take pics and Vids if you can. I'm going to the track tomorrow But I'm sure I'll be going faster than 76 MPH

[Zim]

well you dont have a 4.10 gear ratio now do ya!!! lol...

[Rellik]

Nope... cuz I'm not crazy :P

[Zim]

good lord you reply fast... :cough: aim :cough:

[Rellik]

AIM and Work dont mix :P

[Zim]

pff... work

[Rellik]

Yes work.... It is what lets me take up most of my boring day... and allows me to mod my car :mrgreen:

[tire]

good luck zimstang. ice the intake or at least let her sit for half an hour between runs for good traps. are you an auto or 5spd with 4.10s.

for the record... they arne't fun on the highway, but 4.10's aren't that crazy as you may think on the street. in fact, i didn't feel much power at all.

[Zim]

oh i defanitely feel a difference with my 4.10s


got back from the track times were as follows (.000 was perfect for reaction time)
1st run:
R/T - .280
60' - 2.413
1/8 - 10.7 @65.37
1/4 - 16.8@75mph (dont forget i cant go faster then 76 lol... my rev limiter kicked in well before i was done with the quarter, so like i said, i was racing for 1/8 mile times )

2nd run:
r/t - .371
60' - 2.3
1/8 - 10.7 @65.19
1/4 - 16.8 @75 (at least im consistant)

3rd run: (i shifted through my auto on this one... i dont think ill do that anymore
r/t - .356
60' - 2.4
1/8 - 10.8@63
1/4 - 17.009@76mph


all in all it was a fun night, i saw a 7 second mustang that went 176mph, a car flip over, a mustang destroy its driveshaft, wheelies up the wazoo... cool ass cars, and lots of under 10 second rides. Was really fun, i just wish i could go faster then 76 :shrug:

[tire]

a 10.7 isn't bad, but i know you have 10.55-10.60 in her with better 60's.

[Zim]

i know i do too... thats the first time ive ever run my car, not to mention its a 95 auto... about the slowest stock combo you can think of


oh yeah, heres a vid of my second run...

work on the 60' times...those are crucial

[tire]

i'm hoping for 9.8@~75mph on my first runs with the new rear. i just want to never run 10's again!

[Autobadges.com]

i wonder what i will run with my new suped up engine

[Rellik]

Erick, You better not be running anywhere for at least a thousand miles!!!!! You blew it up once, dont you DARE do it again!!

Zim,
I only hope to be pulling under 17's tonight. Damn my car is slow . I'm halfway done d/ling your video. Cant wait to se it. Those arent bad times at all for your first time out!!! Congrats!!!

[Autobadges.com]

oh hell no i won't be driving it at the track for a good long time, just WONDERING what i would run. I have to break in my Spec Stage II clutch for 500 miles as well...and it just came in yesterday...hell yeah :mrgreen:

I am excited to get my parts, but my stang is not even close to being ready

Who lives in the West Covina area?????? I need you to pick me up an autometer shift light and my a/f gauge from some guy!

so how do you get the 60' down on an auto? my best is a 2.3 and thats with 8.8 rear, 3.73 gears, upper and lower control arms and better shocks!
