First time at the Track...kinda disappointed

[BP2K2Max]

I brought my 02 maxima down to lebanon last night for test & Tune. this was my frist time running at a track. I had my oem 17's on the front and my 19's on the back(i was too lazy to change all 4 wheels). also my MAFS is causing my car to have a slight hesitation at 5K rpm. i was hoping to touch into 14's but, not tonight.

my only performance mod is an intake.
my first run was my best time but my worst launch. i spun all the way through 1st.

i raced a 5.0 mustang with nitrous who put down a 13.1 at 101 mph.
R/T... .676
60'... 2.531
330' 6.525
1/8 9.855
mph 75.49
1000' 12.645
1/4 15.030
mph 94.3

this one i raced an 04 civic, i talked to the guy after our run he had a CAI, clutch, Short Throw Shifter, header, and then some suspension mods and he could only get a mid 16.
my run:
r/t .594
60' 2.417
330' 6.504
1/8 9.801
mph 74.94
1000 12.620
1/4 15.060
mph 87.55
i let off the gas a little early on that ^ run so that's why the final mph doesn't match up, i probably would have gotten into 14's.

my 3rd run

r/t .280
60 2.529
330 6.589
1/8 9.867
mph 74.86
1000 12.665
1/4 15.052
mph 94.22



and on my 4th run, i got to about 60' and the damn car popped out of first gear, so i ran a 16 something. which was still enough to beat the integra in the next lane over. i was kinda dissappointed. i was really hoping to at least touch a 14 but it didn't happen, next time i'll put the 17's on all 4 eventhough they're kinda bald. i figure that's not too bad for an almost stock 4 door family sedan. with a little more practice i think i'll put it into the 14's. at least i was consistent on those 3 runs and i had a lot of fun, which is what matters.

there was an amg SL55 that ran a 13.1 bone stock. i swear, the guy finished his run and came back and picked up his wife and kids at the staging area and left after one run. it was awesome, he musta been 50 something.

still pretty good.... i just raced the cobra for the first time last fri... broke sideways at the top of 2nd and almost slid into the wall....my best run was a 13.3 at 109 mph i only ran it 3 times... my 60' times were close to yours i shoulda been pullin 1.9s 2.0s... i didnt get on it til 2nd gear i just started normal and slammed 2nd... i need to get my launches down...good job tho man.... im racing my bronco this fri... last time i raced it i ran consistant 15.8s and thats stock... its addictive.. lol

[BP2K2Max]

that's a nice cobra. i'll bet that things lots of fun at the track and 13.3 is damn good, what mods do you have done to it?

[ridge_runner]

haha thanks... and yea it is... it gets squirley easy.... i tihnk i cant get 12s with a better launch... oh and its stock...

i just got to the track for the first time a few days ago. i'm glad i had my buddy who knows his shit there, or i would have screwed so much crap up....

the best i could get out of my lightly modified, automatic mustang was 15.35s. my 60' was 2.3. rear gear in the car now is 2.73(stock). once i have new gaskets in my motor, 3.73s out back, and my 5spd conversion is done, i'm hoping for a half to a full second off of that.

[ridge_runner]

got my time down to 12.8s with 60' times of 1.96s and with a 3/4 tank of gas and 30 psi in tires... what i did was held it around 3000 and feathered the clutch out and went i felt it grab i got on it

If you improved your 60' times, you're ET would be a high 14 probably. The size of the rims is going to effect your time as well, since there is more rotating mass..
