I ran a 15.97

Hello all i have just spent the day out at the drags. I was bloody hot with no wind.

My best run was 15.97 (0.64 reaction) at 87.72mph

That was with the car in full street trim (all trim,spare wheel, stereo gear, etc etc plus on 98 octane fuel)

Its a bit strange my first run was 16.5 (wasnt ready for the lights) but i got 90.54mph??????????????????????

Sh*t now i'll have to hurry up and get to the strip so that i can compare how well my car does. Dam you Grunter!!1 :D :D

good run dude. you gonna get a nos kit? get you into the 14s. :D

Your 16.5 was the faster(mph) of the 2 runs but you took to long to leave when it hit green.
The time starts when it goes green....you could sit there for 5 secs if you wanted to before you leave and run a 21.5 @95mph.
As soon as the amber lights come down you want to leave on the last amber before the green for a real good reaction time.
The time it takes to go from amber to green should be enough time for you to just get the car almost rolling without breaking a red light.
Hope you understand all that dripple from me :p :p

Can you post your 60ft time too? That's also a real big factor in your times. Considering your 16s time had a higher trap I'll bet your 15s time had a better 60ft time.

I used to run like a 54 or 55 in the 1/4 mile. I don't know what my top speed was. Probably like 30mph. I had no mods, just a nice set of Nike's.

ok my 60 foot times did very,
on the 15.97 run it was 2.484

What quarter mile times has others managed ???????????

My best so far was about 4 months ago (last time i went). It was about 95-100 degrees out, on the track probably hotter, and this was at about 8pm at night :D I managed a 15.8 @89.xmph. That's with a 2.5 60ft. I have a worn out set of Nitto 555zr tires on my car, and i think they are part of the reason I am getting suck crappy 60fts, that and at the time i wasn't used to my lightened flywheel. i think this winter, when it gets down in the 50's or 60s at night, and now with a tad more hp (the 15.8 I was at about 133whp) I'm guessing around 145-150 depending on how much that Primera cam helped. I'll hopefully be able to pull around a 15.2 @91mph with about a 2.2-2.3 60ft time (just a wild ass). I'm hoping to go to the track the day before thanksgiving, i'll post the results when i get back home. Maybe if my friend lets me borrow the slicks from his se-r (dual lug pattern wheels), 14's will be possible, or i make my car lighter somehow.

Congrats... a 15 is a 15 :D
