NEW TRACK TIMES (1/4 mile) + VIDEOS!!!

0949er · September 8th, 2010, 11:51 PM

OK guys so first time at the 1/4 mile tonight. I went with 3 goals; to beat 13 seconds, to beat a z06, and to beat 2.0 60' times. I am very pleased to say the least. I am a new driver and I know I wont be "on point" with any of my times. I set very achievable goals.

Anyways, ran 3 times. Won each time

Here they are:

vs. Ford Lightning: (Im # 47)

YouTube - Mustang GT vs SVT Lightning

vs. z06: (im # 47..)

YouTube - Mustang GT vs. Corvette z06

vs. head/cammed camaro ss:

YouTube - Mustang GT vs Camaro SS 1/4 mile (zMax)

Overall.... I am satisfied with my results. It turns out I still don't know how to launch a car.... and that reflects my consistent 2.1 60' times. I am buying a set of front drag springs for sure. Maybe even rears.. we will see.

I am also happy wiht my 4.10's actually. I was crossing the finish line each time a 6k rpms... pretty good timing. If I can work on my launch and hold my gears out longer I will be set.

What do you guys think? I know I should of run better, but like I said... I am new. First time at the 1/4 mile. Just learning the ropes

P.S. I think its badass that I am REQUIRED to wear a helmet when racing my car now

you broke into the 12s. good job man

Shaun03GT · September 8th, 2010, 11:56 PM

Congrats man! Awesome. Your trap speed it good, although I could see it higher. I trapped at 117mph with 385rwhp.

As far as launching, youll learn. Heat the NT555R's up til you see smoke at your window, then hold it for like 2 more seconds.

Then launch at like 2500rpm, and dont dump the clutch, let it up quick. Otherwise youll spin or do some damage.

weems · September 9th, 2010, 12:12 AM

Great runs!!

I think the z06 let out haha.

00mustang00 · September 9th, 2010, 12:13 AM

i dont care if your granny shifting the damn thing a z06 no matter if its a c5 or c6 should run WAY more than 17's! was it like a retard driving the thing? haha btw nice times regardless!!!

0949er · September 9th, 2010, 12:19 AM

added z06 video

z06 messed up... I shouldn't even have to say that haha. Its my buddy tho.. and I love my burnout in this video... so I had to post it

tbirdscwd · September 9th, 2010, 12:23 AM

Very nice. With some more practice, you will be low-mid 12s no problem. Based on your trap speed, if you can get that thing to hook off the line, high 11s are not out of the question.

00mustang00 · September 9th, 2010, 12:24 AM

hahahahaahah that z06 video is hilarious! my 07 Cadillac sts with a northstar 4.6 and carrying an ass load of weight could probably do better than that!! hahahahahaha
edit: it just proves that just cuz you have a fast car doesnt make you a fast driver.

BaznastyDave · September 9th, 2010, 12:52 AM

Nice stuff man and good quality vids too, how did the Nitto's hold up?

MustangMan00Vtech · September 9th, 2010, 01:03 AM

ahha if you listen at the end of the corvette race all that popping going on...a damn turbo beamer doing a burnout...shit was loud as hell backfiring

OH03GT · September 9th, 2010, 01:10 AM

Reps for wins! good job dude keep it up!

car looks amazing btw

streetscraper1 · September 9th, 2010, 01:25 AM

Did that z06 almost hit the wall while doing the burnout?!?! Why the hell did he have his wheels turned?

steweod · September 9th, 2010, 03:13 AM

the only problem i see is if you get that thing to launch well you will prolly end up running out of 4th gear.

He should be fine with a 26" tall tire.

manolith · September 9th, 2010, 06:39 AM

Damn that z06 driver sucks! You need to work on the 0 to 60 ft big time. Your trap peed looks very good.

2vPOWA · September 9th, 2010, 07:03 AM

Very nice. You should have no problems getting into the 11s with a good launch. I was trapping at 109 and 110 and I really don't think i was driving the car as hard as I should, with a crappy 60 ft as well. Trust me its a learning experience.
