16.1 1/4 mile normal???
Finally took my car to the trace tonite....it was raining for most of the day so i dunno if i should have ran it...anyway, i did, had to drive about 1hr to the nearest dragstrip and my best time was a 16.1....the track was a little wet but dried up somewhat later...and also i noticed that when i launched the car....my tires didn't grip to the ground real quick...i got a 97 GXE Auto...COMPLETELY stock...i still got the factory hubs and some Dayton tires which aren't really for performance....i been seeing guys run 15.6 and stuff with their auto max's, i was wondering if theres something wrong with mine...i ran it with 93 octane, turned the AC off and took the sparetire out....heres my slip....
R/T .692
60 2.538
330 6.924
1/8 10.500
1000 13.55
1/4 16.191 @ 84.21 MPH
somebody know why i ran so low? or is this normal?
(i live in south florida and it was like in the mid 80's tonite)

Re: 16.1 1/4 mile normal???
High humidity and temperatures in the 80's will cost you some time. If you haven't done so already, go to your regional forum and see what other guys run at that same track. This would be a better guage to your performance as opposed to comparing your 1/4 mile time to other maxima drivers in other parts of the country. Track elevation and the amount of surface prep affect 1/4 mile times.
IMO high 15's should be attainable for you once you get a better 60' time. I have crappy 60' times as well so don't think your alone.

shift from 1 to 2 to D (although that doesn't really help anything)
Slam on the gas off the line and there might be wheel hop and will cost you time.

I had 18's on and a sub in the trunk.
So you're probably dead on.

Timeslips are at the bottom. Notice the almost perfectly matched R/T's?
