Those times look pretty good, I think someone sabotaged the car on race 3.

The supercharged 3800 should do low to mid 15's and the N/A 3880 should do mid 16's.

From what I read the L67 should do the 1/4 mile from 14.5 to 15.0, and the L36 should do it from 15.3 to 16.0. I thought L67's routinely broke into at least the high 14's. Maybe the humidity played a factor? I would like to take my car to the strip some time too. Btw, that is a really nice looking drag strip.

I agree, L67s should be in the High 14s

Have you ever scanned your car for KR?

good tires and launching have a lot to do to get in the 14's and hopefully you are LITTLE lightly modded.

lol no one sabotaged the car. i said in the first post that my windows fogged up so badly right whenever i took off that i couldnt see a thing all the way down the track so i took it easy.

well this was my first time racing the car & i was doing it different than how i usually drive it. i was doing experiments lol. & no i didnt take the back seat or the spare tire out bcuz my tires are so bad that i was afraid that i'd blow a tire on the way home or whatever & not have the spare. & i had two people with me so i couldnt take out the back seat. i was just happy with my times for the first time & yes the nerves got to me so that didnt help

next month if i dont have my new tires i'm gonna run the car harder as long as it isnt too hot & humid

it was probably the humidity. she said it was mad hot. maybe hot lapping it? im sure in cool weather it would probably run alot better. pull that headlight out, drop the pressure in the front tires, and come out under a little rpm. i have faith next time around shell run some awesome times.

And if you were running the original tires, i'd be cautious about going down a track at 100mph. Those RSAs really do suck!
