New PB on Drag Radials Auto 3.5
Decided to go to the track again so my GF could get some runs in HER car and she ended up running a new personal best lol. Her first run was a 14.0@101 and she was pretty mad that she didnt break 13's. It was mostly her launch so I told her to try it again and her next run was 13.74@101 and she was super happy. We let the car cool off for a little while while my brother made some passes on his drag radials. Then we mounted them up on her car and I told her the first pass will be the worst until she gets a feel for them and I was right. She did a pretty bad burnout and floored it when she launched and smoked them halfway down the track lol. So I told her to launch like she was on street tires and she ended up running 13.58@103 2.19 60' 
. She was lined up with a modded 03 mustang GT that ran 13.7@103. She was pretty pumped to say the least. I took it down the track on the last run of the night and ran 13.66@102 2.23 '60. The car loves this cooler weather ALOT. I heard one guy yell out "A turbo maxima??" lol. I'll post the timeslip and pics of the car later today. I knew the car had it in it!

Black one is his brother's that has the fastest N/A time in DMV. The gold one is his GF's that this thread is about.

LOL I aint mad it just means I did a good job teaching her.
Yeah I still need to get a 2.0 60' on them.
Thanks. The car is sooo much fun to drive.
Yeah next time were putting 15's in the back to see if it makes a difference.

You make me want to build a 4th gen so bad. I can find them for like $500-800 with a blown headgasket or something else wrong with it. Then swap in a 3.5 and have some fun.
I'm lazy, do you have a build thread on your gf's car?

If you want a bigger improvement, get a higher stall converter. Then you'll need some slicks. That will drop your times quite a bit.

Thanks man. We have 2 mods in the works for the car you probably saw pics of one of them on FB. We'll see how much of a difference they will make once everything is on and we hit the track again. Truthfully Im happy with the 13.5 but I think we could get a 13.3 before the tracks close. If only I could pull a 2.0!

I really think we need more practice on the radials. Maybe Im crazy but I thought drag radials were supposed to hook no matter how you launch them. I tried launching at 2200 and spinned them off the line. A higher stall would just make the spinning worse. I guess if we were on slicks it would be different.

Yeah, definitely won't be the easiest thing to do. lol
