Quarter Mile Times

[Anonymous]

5 speed DOHCs are a bitch to launch.....power comes on HARD and QUICK.....ever take a look at the dyno charts? Its either bog or wheelspin....sometimes both. BUT when you are able to get it right......you'll run not slow.

You are dead on. My runs were anything but consistent:

14.78
15.12
15.34
15.46
15.68

You get the point

With an auto, its easy. Just mash the gas and go! :P I ran a 15.7 hot off the street, then a 15.4, 15.3, and 15.4 again. Too bad my highest trap was on a 15.4 run.

That is no joke. I have been able to run semi-close to consistant in the 92 though, 15.5, 15.6, 15.7 in the same night with 18" rims, brakes that could stop Satan in his tracks, and me with who knows how much stereo equipment and dynamat, lol.

EDIT: the 92 also has a gutted airbox (oh boy!!!), a custom tuned chip, and a K&N (another oh boy!!!).

ah they arn't that hard the first time I drove one was at the track and I got a 2.24 60' and ran a 15.22 and the mph was 89 IIRC would have been a good run if I diden't shift in to 4th, should have held out 3rd. I just had to launch it like my 2.8!

Wow thats slow! I though my 2.8 was bad

How much time do you think the trans slip took off? I ran 17.9 with spare tire taken out and about 1/2 tank of gas, and no MAF/IAT sensors present :P . I'm sure I'll beat my time this year since my SES light is off now
