Good point. There's quite a bit more to running a given time than just having the power to run that quick.

 

i think the hardest part about our cars is the launch/60 ft time. my friend cut a 1.70 on stock tires, but then missed 2nd....would have been a nice run.

 

Makes me wonder now how fast my car would be, never tested it out yet...I think I will try to hit infeneon raceway sometime...my car is running really good at 13lbs of boost...just need to practice my launch a bit since I dont drag that much anymore unlike the old days...

 

..no midpipe??? you should hit mid to low 13's with a stock midpipe. When you take that off it make a world of difference, and a world of smell.

 

thanks for all the info, once i can sell my dam Mustang (lol) i can afford to get a FD

 

I told tim that and I'll tell you the same. I was cutting low 1.7 short times on drag radials and there is no way your friend, which tim told me was you......... can cut 1.7's on stock type tires.......

 

fyi, i ran 13.4 @ 103 whe my car was bone stock

 

Ditto, 13.36 with even stock tires for me at 1200ft above sea level track. Just replacing the main cat and muffler with a crush bent 3" pipe and using M & H dot tires with nothing else done dropped me to 12.67. Actually that might have been without the tires. It's been over 10 years sorry : )

Damn, I thought I had the fastest stock time

atleast it's you.......

 

all ive got on mine is a downpipe..havent had the time to take it to the track yet...what do you guys figure i can run with that..i think im a pretty decent driver

 

I was pretty abusive to get that time Garg so don't feel bad, I'd never drive the car like that normally : ). When I say abusive I mean things like, err was I supposed to have my foot off the gas when I shifted? It also took A LOT of practice. We used to have all night street racing here in the early 90's with hundreds of cars and you'd run all night long. I miss my youth.

yup I remember those day's of street racing....the fun day's

 

alright so when i buy my first FD (hopefully soon) i plan on going DP, catback, intake, comp, and maybe nittos or something along those lines.

 

sounds like you are a smart man....and please dont turn the 7 into a ricer car when you get it...

 

with that combo, you should have no problem pulling low 13 second runs.

 

all i have right now is a DP...havent had my car long...what do you guys think i could do?

 

Probabily high 13's to mid 14's- depending on tires, engine condition, and your launch.

 

got 25k miles now on my original engine...had 18k when i got it check it out..

dont worry i hate RICERS with a passion it will look stock for maybe the except the wheels

 

stfu

 

...gargamel...i will show you the slip of the 1.7 next time i see you. And they are stock shitty tires.

 

no offense but it sounds like an anamoly...1.7 on regular shitty street tires sounds pretty close to imposible to me.

 

Was it a 1.70 or a 1.79? I could possibly see a 1.79 with gobs of traction compound sprayed on with a good clean track. I think the best I ever managed after in excess of 100 attempts and being a reasonable driver was a 1.82 or 1.87. I forget which. The norm, of course, was 1.9's on the S-02's err were they S-07's or 02's stock?
