Something wrong with this 60 ft time?

KevinJ99GT · March 16th, 2011, 11:45 PM

Damn that brings me down a little. Isnt there one guy on here who claims 8.7 with just an x pipe and gears?

can't find the time slips for my wifes 08' v6 'vert right now, but I'm looking at one of my timeslips from my white car when it was stock & it went 9.46 with a 2.27 60' so that GT seems about right.

I ran a 9.4 when i was stock, the guy your thinking about is Mrbigjeep. He ran like a 8.8 with gears and no mufflers or something like that but he was launching around 3,500 on some street tires that were HOOKING good and also his is a 5spd

I definitely wasn't calling you a liar, sorry if it came off that way. It think there is either something wrong with the clocks at your track or there maybe the previous owner put a different converter in there, who knows. Either that or you have the most factory freak auto new edge ever made.

Did you say you can foot brake the car up to 2,000rpm?

KevinJ99GT · March 17th, 2011, 12:22 AM

Oh i know your not calling me a lier, its more than likely a track error, it just didnt make sense to me that everyone is running the correct times that they should be and im not.

judging from the way you can foot brake the car so high, thats the direction I would start looking.

a stock converter wouln't go to 2200 on the foot brake, period.

KevinJ99GT · March 17th, 2011, 12:29 AM

What direction would u start looking? And i guess we can just end this and say they are wrong and that we will find out my real times in a few weeks when i go to a 1/4 mile track.

BaznastyDave · March 17th, 2011, 12:30 AM

Yeah i cant wait to run a 1/4 track, all i have ran is just 1/8th

KevinJ99GT · March 17th, 2011, 12:30 AM

Yeah, being on spray will help more on the big end anyways

I would think that mabie the car either has a converter installed by the previous owner & the times before were biased due to the tune, or the track you just went to has issues (doesn't explain being able to foot brake the car to 2200 though).

I agree, don't loose any sleep over it now, see what the other track shows you.

based off the 60' & 1/8 you listed, the car should run 13.2/13.1 in the 1/4 +/-

Thanks guys

Definitely let us know how you do! You can also pull that little plastic plug on the bottom of your trans bellhousing and look at your converter. Maybe casper can elaborate on this, but the factory converters should all be pretty much look like bare metal. If you have any color paint on it, chances are it isn't factory

Those are pretty good times man. My TA with almost full bolt-ons, dr's and a 3650 race weight went 8.213@81.78 n/a 1/8th 12.991@103.25 1/4 with a 1.714 60ft. So your pretty close to a 12 sec pass in that thiing.
