Keep practicing man! That 60ft will improve a lot and you should be able to get into the high 14sec range once you get more seat time!

All right Chris, getting in some track time! Way cool guy! As John points out there is so much to consider. It's all a learning curve. Congrats!

100% Agree!! SOOOO much to consider and most of it is learned each time you strap into that seat. IMO no substitute for seat time!

Agreed, focus on your launch and 60ft. FWD can be a real pain to drag. I've never launched a FWD automatic, so I don't know what it's like. But trying to get my Caliber to hook off the line is a real fun time.


Keep it up!

Question Found on the Web...You Decide if they R good or Bad ?

^ Hi Conner, post about your Monte in the "Monte Carlo Talk section", yes your Monte is Rare...

================================================== =======
Great to see a FWD like below running in the 8's...My friend `Space use 2 race his FWD Honda & only got in2 the low 13's, but it was fun 4-Sure.... I think Chad's Monte might get in2 the 8's
