Well i went to the strip. Took about 5 runs, and my best time was 15.9. :dead:

Its my 1st time to the track....... i have shitty tires on my stock rims (falken 512's), had NO TRACTION.... and thats what i got.... yeah its shitty.... i couldn't believe it... :-\ During my launches, i either got ZERO traction or i was choking out on the launch....... :stare: Im supose to be getting 14's :*(

[akuma810]

[LilAznFishinDude]

Hahaha... Do you ever have traction? At least you know what you need before you go next time :)

[SuperblkStalion]

you suck at the drag strip. i think we will have to have a talk.

[TE's02p11G]

I think you need to let me show you a proper launch.... recall that BMW! :) Muhahaha.. glad you had fun. You should have taken my racing rims!

[JustinP10]

What was your mph like at the end of the 1/4 mile?

[SuperblkStalion]

your probably launching at too high of an rpm dood.take my turbo next time and you should be in the 14's or lower hehe.

I know exactly where your coming from, keep it up and it'll improve! :)

[Lu:s]

You need to work on your launch. I got the best street tire times with crappy tires. Did you get any wheel hop?

[99p11]

87.7 mph when i was 149 whp i was traping 91 mph with 182whp you should be hitting at least 93-96 mph is the car running smoth or are you boging

Yeah, lets hope so! haha~

wheel hop, yes. I have solid mounts, and tein/agx, but still got some hop.

[JustinP10]

You're way down on power if you're only trapping ~88mph.

[Crazy4myP10]

Yep trap is too low. What rpm are you shifting at?

I was bogging at the launch.... sucked ass...

Im launching @ 4000-4500. I think i just need to practice more on how to launch my car corrrectly at the track.

[JustinP10]

Even if you bog, your mph will end up about the same. Bogging really only affects your ET.
