So, I just sold my 94 sentra, and bought an 88 GTU, it has 173k on it, and has a couple cheap straight through mufflers with no cats. Other than that its stock.

I took her to the track for the first time a couple weeks ago and heres the results.

R/T: .886
60: N/A for some reason it didn't record it
330: 6.959
1/8: 10.824
MPH: 63.70
1000: 14.152
1/4: 16.949
MPH: 80.76

I was just wondering if thats a decent time for a pretty much stock GTU, or if I should be doing better. I had a lot of wheel hop off the line and I think i could have done a little better without the all the hop. Any way to fix the hop or is it just my driving?

 

just don't drop the clutch so much

pretty good times though I bet you could get it down to 16.5 without a problem

congrats on the buy though and don't let drag numbers get you down our cars are made to go around turns

 

Aww.. come on now! They can drag too!

 

Sounds almost identical to my time in a stock 89 GXL, first time at the strip too.
My 1/8 was 10.893 and my 1/4 was 16.962. Hella slow.
Hah, I found the video link. Recorded on a shitty digital camera.

That slip reminds me of my scion tC going down the 1/4 mile.

Just get used to your car, it's gotta get better.

 

Its an n/a rotary. Don't expect mind blowing #'s unless you've got a p-port or b-port and are nursing the bottle.
