I went to the Speed World Dragway here in Orlando...

First Run - 1/8: 11.765 1/4: 17.925 Launched @ 4500rpm

Second Run - 1/8: 11.662 1/4: 17.810 Launched @ 5000rpm

Third Run - 1/8: 11.171 1/4: 17.263 Launched @ 4000rpm

Yeah...I only got 3 runs in... I didn't want to wait in line anymore. Not bad for completely stock, minus ground wires. I was wondering what others who've taken their x* to the track launched at. My third/last run was my best, but there was wheel hop...Next time I go to the track, I'll try launching @ 3800 to 4200 rpm...

I'll scan the timeslips later tonight or tomorrow...

 

pretty good, what are those 60 foots like?

 

Here is the scan of the timeslips... 60' are there... I need to work on my 60', need to find my rpm sweet spot for the launch...

 

looks like you were starting to improve a little :D Dam almost had the ranger! got exhaust? j/k no more plugs from me for a bit.

 

Yeah, I got to the track around 5:30. Around 6:30, some BMW 3 series blew his radiator hose and the coolant had to get cleaned up...that took about 45 minutes, it started to get packed. I didn't want to wait an hour to run again...I was trying to find my sweet spot rpm to launch at. I'm gonna try 3800rpm to 4200 next time I go to the track...

Wish I had a 1/4 (or even a 1/ mile in my backyard...

 

Very nice 60' on that last run. Definately shows in the 1/4 mile time.

 

hopefully i can take mine to the track today... I was actually expecting 17.4's 17.5's... but this gives me hope! congrats again on the decent times!

 

From those slips it looks like you should practice timing the tree. your reaction times are killing you.

1.3 secs on a rt is too much.

it's funny to see your best reaction time .950 is when you luanched @5000, you beat your first runs rt by a half a second but only got a tenth at the end.
did you have alot of wheel spin on that run?

practice the timing of the tree and you'll get into the 16's for sure :D


keep on trying,

 

Most trees don't have anything to do with overall ET's, they only determine if you really beat the other car or not

 

launching with your rpms that high on a car without awd is pretty high... i can only imagine how much you burned out. i know what you mean about the wheel hop, i got that when i launched mine around 3.5k... those times look really good... someone was saying that these things wouldn't get any lower that mid-17's stock.. you just got into the low 17's and i'm sure you could hit high 16's if you practiced it some more. :D

nice work!

 

Theres several people that ran mid - low 16s with stock and mostly stock xB's..... I'd say it's all in the reaction and launch.

 

i think it was thefoth that was quoting you on that in another thread about that being bs and he'd like to see a time slip on it. these cars dont seem like 18sec cars... i wouldn't doubt it in an auto, but manual thats no way gonna be 18 sec...

i'm retarded, i forgot where a track was around socal... anyone got suggestions and pricing?

 

I don't care for my reaction time right now... It's my 60' that I'm worried about. It's still going to record my time correctly even if I waited 5 seconds after the car next to me has already left...

 

great job....we ran our dealer's xA at Budds creek last friday ....only did 2 runs in a auto stock everything but exhaust...... you got good times bro good job

 

damn you know your cars sad when you have to go by the 1/8 mile time, holy ____ my civic was running as fast as that wrx haha

 

wow...leave your ego at the door. Who said we were going by 1/8 mile time?

The WRX had a bad run, it was doing 13.9s with just a axle back exhaust... He stopped running because they said he needed a helmet.

What'd you have in your civic that made it run 14.1?

 

dont know what those new ford f-150's run in the quarter but i slowly pulled away from one till about 50 then left off from a green light....only have intake/header.....kid driving it was mad...hehe
was suprised how hard i pulled in first
launched at about 2,700rpm just a fyi

 

my civic hatch ran 13.8's, b16 intake and a 50 shot =D 2.0 60's broke some mounts after that run so i decided not to spray off the line again unless it was important :D

 

I'm not a fan of nitrous...

 

i love wrx's and i knew he had to be driving horribly from that time, my buddys runnin 13.1 in his STi with only a BOV. My 89 civic hatchback had a GSR swap with full 2.5 thermal exhaust, nothing else.
