um, not bad for a first run i suppose. your 60fts should be a bit lower... 2.2's ... even as low as a 2.1??; your 1/8th mile is a tad high.. only a .10th better than mine... should be in the mid 9's... and again, your 1/4 is kinda high... should be mid 14's, and your trap speed should be a little higher. but considering you didn't remove any weight...and didn't lower your tire pressure... its not bad. how much gas did you have? my time dropped about .4sec just from 3/4 tank to an 1/8th tank. and talk to the 2002-03 guys... ask them about their shift points... when i figured out the more ideal shift points for my car i droped a little time and got a better trap. hope this helps.

Not bad for a newbie at the track . Your 60' could use some work generally 2.1-2.2 is good for a FWD car. Also what are your shift points, because they should be 6600rpm 1-2, 6200rpm 2-3, 6000rpm 3-4, 5900rpm 4-5, 5800rpm 5-6. With some more practice that ET should drop and the trapspeed increase.

Fuel was little under 1/2, Shifted at redline to second and 3rd and maybe 6300 to fourth, can't remember as I was a little nervous. Launching is a ***** I know I need practice, definatly spun and hopped.

Did you make anymore runs?

Next time lower your front tire pressure to about 25 psi, move passenger seat all the way forward, move drivers seat as far forward as you can stand it, remove spare tire, jack, rear padding cover and board over jack, remove all floor mats. This will give you about the best you can do stock. I managed a 14.76 doing this with my automatic in hot weather. I have exhaust and UD pulley now so I should do much better in cooler weather if I can get a good launch.
