What is wrong with my car?

I have a 2000 se automatic w/ a warpspeed y pipe, berk intake, and custom exhaust. My best time was 16.2 at 83 mph with a reaction time of .116. My SES light has been on and I think that it is either a bad o2 sensor or a bad coil. Could this have hurt the trap speed and my 1/4 mile time significantly.

I would say so. You are running a second and 10 mph slower. Maybe it's time to get that SES looked at.

chris we need to figure out what size rims you have and how much the wheel tire combo weighs. i didnt get a chance to look over your max to see the rims (car looks awesome by the way). Big heavy rims (-.2-.4)


also what was in the car ? big stereo - subs ? (-.1)

check your cel lights and see what comes up: 02 sensor could hurt if its a front one i believe, and certainly the knock sensor.

with a few changes you should be rewarded ! i wasnt able to run my best either, dang shifter, but we also had 90 percent humidity which wasnt helping.

Do you all think that my 19 inch wheels hurt my time this severly?

No point in going to the track with a CEL that has not been checked out.

I am sure the 19's are not helping, but it should not be your only problem seeing that you traped so low.
