Ok, I just got back from the track. I have a 95 SE 5-speed. I ran my car 3 times. worst time was a 16.24 spinning through first and some of second. it was a ****ty run. my best was a 15.67 and my reaction was horrible, a .9786 well, i guess its not too bad for my first time ever. anybody got any pointers for me or anything?

 

you reaction time has nothing to do with you final E.T.

COuld you post your time slip? I'm wondering what your 60' was.

 

my 60 foot was 2.3996
my 1/8 was 10.1303 @ 71.16
my 1/4 was 15.6775 @ 89.30

 

That 60' time is horrible. You have a 15.2 in you if you can get a good launch.

 

what should my 60' time be with a good launch?

 

I consider lower than 2.20 to be incredible (I've only pulled 2.1s on like 5 out of 80 or so passes). 2.20-2.25 to be good. 2.25-2.30 decent. Anything above 2.30 is crap.

 

i just came back from the track earlier and it was my first time, my best time was a 16.1, but my 60 on that time slip was 2.538...what would i have run if i had a better 60? the track also was a lil wet becaused it rained a little in the day, and i'm drving on my stock GXE hubs, i got a 97....but theres a difference between me and the other guy's car, i have a auto! can i launch better with a auto to get a better 60 ft time?

 

although ur reaction time has nothing to do w/ ur 1/4 mile time, one suggestiong to get that lower is to go on the 3rd yellow light. don't wait til the green comes on. that's just way too late.
