First time at the track.

black2001gt · April 3rd, 2011, 02:34 PM

Hey guys I took my car to the track yesterday and my best run was a 14.096
could not break into the 13s, All I have is a cold air intake and a catback exhaust and ok tires. My question is could I build the car to auto x and drag race?

From what I know most of what autox is just a bunch of suspension work, which also helps a lot on the track. I would say if you have a set of drag tires and regular tires for autox and a good suspension including a drop you should be fine.

it really depends on how well you want to do at either one & how much power you have.

auto x & drag suspensions are completely oposite so its tough to do both with the same car if your serious about winning at either one.

So I am going to have my mustang for drag racing and my eagle talon for auto x. You think I will break 13s if If i remove my rear seat, pass seat, and everything in my trunk?

Honestly I think if you drive just a hair better you will break 13's on your own.
