5.5 Gen, 9.9 at 74 mph

Okay, first off this track was okay, there were only 18 to 20 cars, so I could have run 30 times but didn't.

The weather was hot, 85 and a little humid.

Left the clubs in the trunk, dropped pressure to 24psi and my passenger front axle was grinding like a mother, time for the dealer warranty on that one.

I definitely need a driver mod.

Keep in mind I have the original 55k Potenzas on here and a HAI Berk with Apexi

Best Run:

RT 1.04
60' 2.49
330' 6.61
594' 9.31
1/8 9.92 at 74.6mph

That run was my best 60' do I definitely need some help.

I ran a few more 2.49 60', but was either hopping, bogging or spinning. I need some practice. The axle had me worried too.

Worst run

RT 1.09
60' 2.88
330' 7.11
594' 9.88
1/8 10.50 at 72.37mph

It was hot, I need some help on the tree and reaction time and I need some better rubber. I do not feel like I got the bug since this wasnt a bracket format, just funday runday sunday. I ran against a Neon and won, a stang and won but I also lost to a 71 Torino and a Turbo Stang that ran 7.7...wtf

Thanks for your help and support. I was the only NA 4 door car there, and got a few looks. I was slower than I expected, thought for sure I could blow a 9.4 or 9.5.

I guess its time for an SSIM, Flash, Headers, VAFC II or EU with WB and an 82 mm Range Rover MAF. Then I will take it back. Maybe some cooler temps will help as well.

I did have fun, but was a little disappointed with the times.

Overall it was fun but there was an 05 350Z and I wanted to run 9.3's like he was.

His 60' was 2.1 and his best time was a 9.1.

not bad for relatively few mods. go easier on the launch and you could see your 9.5 come into perspective

FYI:

R/T has nothing to do with the final 1/8 or 1/4 mile time.

Nice times, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Wild 60' times though.
