My FD Ran 10.36 @ 136 ***Video***
 

Again, with horrible driving on my part.

I ran two 14 sec passes, a 12 sec pass, a 11.47 pass, a 11.00 pass and finally the 10.36 pass.

Car has alot more in it, I just need to drive it.

Very nice man. Very nice.
Now get driving that car down to perfection and REALLY impress us all.

you sleeping at the light or what?

Nice!

you know this !

600whp/2200lbs and we get 10.36@136mph? Much better, but I would be expecting traps of well over 140mph considering the cars weight.

Dan's EVO at 3400lbs with driver trapped 133mph with 580awhp.

That last run I trapped 100 in the 1/8th. Earlier when I ran the 12 sec pass, I trapped 113 mph in the 1/8th.

Do the math :)

I can't stand worthless comments like this.

My my cousin's girlfriend's sister's leisbien friend's father's coworker's tax guy's assisstant's neice's preschool teacher's plumber's R34 GTR at 3600lb + driver and passengers (2 in the back seat) with 230awhp trapped 101mph.

Nice goin' Lupe!!!!!

Congrats- That definitely has a lot of room for improvement but the car looks strong!

And on a side note, I would NEVER go to that track if I had to listen to that announcer all night long. Do they think that's entertaining? Ugh... I'd be up in the booth bashing him over the head with the mic

Jesus. 113... what in the world happened after the 1/8? that would bring out nearly 150mph with a full good run.

nice .....how were your 60ft times.....and hows that track (i know around here my track closer to my house isnt that sticky)
but if i went to norwalk, (you can close your shoe)

thats one badass rx-7

:drool:

I need more horsepower.

Here are some pictures from that night.

Next time you wash your car be sure to start a new thread so we don't miss it, okay? ;)

So you go from 444 hp to 603 hp and are only 4 tenths quicker?

If you would have read before posting, you might just understand.

I can fix it for you. Install one of these:

The FD is definately the star of the show. But I can't help but think- a POS Golf ran an 11.47!?!? That's pretty impressive too.

And the car's still for sale, although this helps keep it out in the open :)

I cant help but wonder what a better driver can do with that thing (i was thinking 9.60s were to come from it). . Good luck on the sale man, you have a bad ass car.

very nice...

good work. i knew i would be seeing some better runs out of the car. congrats on the trophy :)

I plan on taking it back out in a few weeks. :wallbash:

Looks like the haters have arrived. :)
You dont have have to deffend yourself Lupe.
In racing it's not about 'should've, would've or could've'. It's about 'who have' done it.
I know how you're feeling. It's takes time and you must have patience.
It took me three different attempts at the track before I ran my first 9 sec pass.
You're allready off too a much better start than when I started on my first attempt.
Just keep at it. It will pay off.
Don't make any changes to the car. Get the two-step to function properly and play with tire pressure next time out. By then you'll know what's needed to go to the next level and also you'll have a lot more seat time.

dude your my hero !!!! hopefully ill show my 10 sec pass on here on of these days .... but seriously good going your an insparation to all of us fd owners who love straight line performance ....

nice run, very nice love the car. it would be a low 9 sec fd if you stop eating bigmacs :)

jokes just jokes

I can't get enough of the big macs! ! ! ! ! :rlaugh:

excellent run! i know this can sneak into the 9's... though this is amazing for a car that can be driven on the road!!! who can hate on this car? whoever it is they must be really uptight. can you link me to your new mod list i know it changes... :)

-Lance

nice, and especially nice with the AC/DC in the background

Thanks, I'm not racing unless I can drive it to and from the track. :)

Here is a write up that Bret Kepner (From ESPN) did of my car.
