14.9 Finally!!! Time slip posted as well

Memphis Motorsports Park
Memphis, TN


-Weather-
UV Index: 0 Minimal
Dew Point: 74°F
Humidity: 87%
Visibility: Unlimited
Pressure: 30.04 inches and rising
Wind: calm

-96 GLE 5 SPD-
JWT/ECU
MEVI
PR CAI
UR Flywheel
ACT
STS
Test Pipe
Car was fully loaded. Nothing taken out.

-Time Slip-


Was very very humid outside and nobody was doing all that well. Ran a total of 11 times. I have about 8 15.1's and a 15.0.(and a few messups).I raced my friend in his 03 SE-R specV 6spd. He couldnt get out of the 16s. That is him on the left in the time slip. His best was 16 flat. Then there was a 91-93 Mustang 5.0 that kept getting 16.xx. Something was wrong there. Another was a 300ZX that kept getting 16.xx. My previous best was 15.2 with the ECU.This is the only mod that I have added since last time. (MEVI) So here is to all the non-believers that say the MEVI doesnt do anything on the 1/4. A .3 seconds off my time works for me. Im going back when the weather gets better.

Side note - (Anybody want to sell their V1?)

just wondering why you have all the really expensive mods...but no y-pipe?
that'll probably put you in the 14.6 region just like that

it is proven that engines made in the middle of the working week, that is when the workers are at their greatest potential. monday you dread working cause you just had a weekend, fri, everyone wants to get the hell outta work for the weekend, wednesday is the best build day, those engines hold better compression, and seem to make a little more power

I didn't know it was proven? I always thought it was just a saying to explain why somebody sarcastically has a fast car.

i guess it's just basic psychology. i suppose the japanese have different mentalities. however i honestly don't know why my car is a bit quicker than mostly everybody elses. it's just the garden variety maxima gxe 5speed. my driving isn't the exception either because my car runs 14.5 even when i screw up the 60' and spin all through first gear =P
