problems at the track

91cobra5.0 · September 28th, 2008, 11:43 AM

Something sounds wrong man. Your at sea level and running the samething I am at 5000ft. And im getting the same 60ft spinning first and beging of second. You should be at mid to high 14 even spinning just becuase of the elevation difference

Honestly 91cobra... some foxes are just wicked slow.

that 93 mph trap speed will see him a 14.8 not much better. Which for all those mods is not good. My gt ran the same way. never took it to the track, but it felt like a 14.9 car with 3:55's intake and full exhaust. So I bought a motor from an 89 low compression forged bottom end and worked off that.

lol changing tires at the track gets old, i don't blame you
slicks in the rain are fun

Honestly the only time I've ever had problems is on those sealed concrete roads or if there was standing water in the road. On asphalt roads I've never had an issue if I drive normal but that sealed conctrete is like ice when you add water and slicks.

93 mph trap speed can net you mid 14's *if* the 60' is decent.

This is becoming more and more apparent,... Ive noticed that most foxes are either really fast or really slow....

Hunt_chevs · September 28th, 2008, 05:22 PM

i hate seeing those that are really slow,... it hurts my feelings

Traidmarx · September 29th, 2008, 03:19 AM

i'm sure your car is capable of 13.5's or better. i mean obviously your gonna need a tire your 60ft. was pretty bad. as far as reaction time you were sorta sleeping lol but time your E.T. doesn't start until you've moved 13 inches from the staging line. anyway work on launching the car..and good luck man.

patwrecked · September 29th, 2008, 04:44 AM

Tony_90fox · September 29th, 2008, 12:28 PM

gotn20 · September 29th, 2008, 12:38 PM

i'm like 91 cobra i'm at 5300 ft above sea level. I've seen stock fox's trap 85 mph lol.

93hatch · September 29th, 2008, 12:41 PM

dam im glad my fox isnt like that, she ran like a champ when she was almost stock

flattusmaximus78 · September 30th, 2008, 09:10 AM

Hatch your one of the lucky few. When you get your stuff retuned again, it should run really well. On 8 cylinders not 7.
