Whats going on sl, just wondering what will a stock tc with a catback tsudo exhaust run in the 1/4 mile?

 

go to the track and find out!

 

probably like a 15.1-15.3 depending on your driving skills.

 

i doubt 15.1 15.3 is reachable with just a catback and totallly stock tc

 

i'd say no difference from stock exhaust, 15.4-15.8

 

It's hard to run good times on a stock tC...the car runs 15.7 bone stock...but that is with a professional driver...on stock tired it's hard as hell to run that time. Last time I went to the track the best I could run was a 16.2 I'm all stock except headers and exhaust...I couldn't get traction for sh*t..I spun out through 1st and 2nd and a little in third before finally catching traction...and that was with a good burnout.

 

Spinning through 1st, 2nd, and a little in third...... sounds like someone needs some new tires and foot work lessons.... if you get that down...you'd be blazin some 15.9's for sure lol.... I'm not flaming you.... I'm just remembering myself when I was stock lol..... those days were sad!

 

11s

 

psh.... 10's for sure!!!!! ......in the 1/8th

 

my buddies tC with I/H/s-Pipe/E, short shifter, dropped ran a 15.7 at commerce drag in GA. the track has a slight positive slant.

 

3 seconds

 

With a good burnout? So....what kind of drag radials are you running?

 

lol.... Im mad that I didn't catch that one first lol.

Did you drop tire pressure too?

 

You don't need to do a good burn out with radials.. Just a quick spin to get any rocks and dirt off the tread. I haven't been to the track in a while but when i was stock i ran a 15.7 with the spare in the hatch and a half a tank of gas.. Also ride the clutch a little out of the hole, that will help you not breaking the tires loose.

 

Road & Track tested a stock Tc with a manual transmission in February of 2005, their best time was 15.6 seconds @ 89.9 mph. Even $1000.00 worth of I/E/H won't get you into the 14s. If you want better times for less, buy these:

and run the fronts @ 20 psi!

 

Stock tires....dip____...no I didn't drop tire pressure any.

I tried launching at 3,000 and at 2500RPM'S which is what everyone on here told me would be best for stock tires...and those were the results.

 

People should have more then minimal amount of skill and knowledge before taking a car to a track and wondering why they ran such crappy times. First understand the basics of drag racing on a track. Racing on track and street is much different.

 

thanks killaspice, that was PROFOUND

 

Ummmm no sh*t?

 

It's all practice, thats all.. The more practice the better you get. But to answere your first ? The tC stock should do a 15.6 to 15.7 on a good run and if you run it with little gas and no spare tire you will drop a few tenths.
