ok, I've run my car before, but I dont want to talk about it, as it was my first run ever and was horrible. with a good launch and trap what should I expect? I'm open to all suggestions. any tips on preventing wheel spin?

If you want to prevent wheelspin buy slicks. I believe a GXE should run around 16.7-17.3s @ 78-81mph at a good track.

With a good launch(2.2-2.3) , around 16.5. With a typical launch, you are look at at least a 16.7

16.5 or so at 84 or so should be pretty good, I got lucky and pulled off a 16.346 stock, but that is pretty unheard of.

there was a 3rd Gen running when i went to the drags. i did 1 run against him and that timeslip is up on my homepage. check it out. he got a 17.1 i believe and he was a 5 speed. he had a decent launch too, but everyone was gettin crappy 60' times that night

1/4 mile? you're lookin at 16+

umm 17.7 no slower
