Default 3RD TIME RACING AT THE TRACK

I went and raced at Firebird Raceway PHX AZ and had alot of fun, It was really busy and I never seen so many turbo diesels before at the strip, there was a variety of all cars there.

I race three times and I have improved a little.

My first race

Reaction time .007

60' 1.791

1/4 15.826

90 mph

Mysecond race

Reaction time .538

60' 2.275

1/4 15.787

90 mph

Mythird race

Reaction time .496

60' 2.455

1/4 15.776

90 mph

I raceda mustang that was heavily modified and a new GTO and a new GT Stang

The GT Stang ran 14.8

I lost all three times but Its hard to match up with a car close to me engine wise becasu there are six lanes and they mix up the races.

A nissan spec v was doing high 16' low 17' in the quarter mile

A ford Focus was doing about the same

I didn't see a new stock stang v6 though

A srt8 Chrysler 300 did 12.5 sec in the qaurter mile.

Alot of fun and a safe time

I predict with my stock wheels I would do mid to low 15's and If it was tuned a high 14 probably with cold air intake and dual exhaust.

Yes I ran with the 20's on for wheels

It is a quick car for being lighter than the monte

You need to take those 20's off or something. In my LTZ with the 3.9 I have beat cars on the streetthat have run from 15.1-15.3 at the track all day long. Also agree a spec v only running high 16's-low 17's. My buddy had an older one and it would run mid 15's stock and he has an 07 now and I beat him by a length, length and a half and that car is faster than his old ones. It's an easy low 15 car
