NEW TIMES!!! with video

[SaleenGT2001]

well i went to the track last night ofr the 3rd time since the novi. the first track was a 1/8 and was really crappy. the 2nd was at fayetteville but it was VERY humid and i ran as soon as i pulled off the interstate after an hour drive. needless to say the times were comprable to the times i ran before the s/c. well last night i FINALLY got a good run in. it was about 70 degrees and not humid at all. i iced the s/c down before and after each run. the first race is a STI with mild mods and the 2nd is a built Evo with 500 hp at the wheels. i found that out the hard way! i still spun off the line and wheel hopped a little. maybe with some LCA's i can get a better 60 foot than the 1.9 i putr down last night. anyways enjoy the video!!!

That thing is sick man... I hope I get a chance to check it out at MW...

Fayetteville is a fun track too. Gives a real big backroads racing kind of feel.

What was the second car you raced? Sounded like a really really boosted car heh.

Nice vids man.. I love your car, sooo sick looking

go to bed



nasty car man, good times! what wheel/tire setup are you running?

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i'm running 15x8 pro star rims with 275/50/15 MT street Et radials.

the 2nd car was a built Evo. after the race he told me he had 500 hp at the wheels.

Sweet vid. Your car looks badass pulling into the lane

NICE!! Now you were finally able to see what you could do . Street tires just dont cut it and you wind up running close to what you did N/A.

But you need to work on the 60'..your only about a tenth faster than my car through the 1/4. Drop that to the low 1.8s and hello 12.5s...or better

 

[SaleenGT2001]

my reaction time SUX!!!! i need to get some more practice in, and possible some LCA's

 

[hotmustang331]

Mine are usually .2-.3 . How bad are yours?

Oh and I looked at an online calculator...supposedly your car is capable of around a 117MPH trap ...assuming 0 DA. I think some more practice will get you very close to that. Good luck and keep up updated!

 

[SaleenGT2001]

my first one was a .65 and i am too ashamed to even post my 2nd time. what calculator are you using to figure out the trap speed?

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Nice times! I hope to hit 12.5-12.6 next time out Car looks sick btw

 

[Dope 97GT]

you could see the reaction time in the second was low i try to leave like as soon as i see the third yellow it looked like you left of the green. but my reaction times arent perfect just a suggestion.

but good times and the car looks sick man

 

[SaleenGT2001]

thanks, i hope to get better traction somehow. i have a lot of wheel hop right now. maybe i can hit some low 12's before the I/C.

i really havent raced at whole lot. i'd say i've made 30 passes down the track in the 2 years i've owned the car. i kinda blacked out at the light in the last pass. i get anxious when there are sooo many people at the track watching me.

You had to remind me.

I know how that is and then you start thinking of the launch and what revs to be at and trying not to spin and dont want to miss a shift...and all that and you forget to get ready to go lol

 

[TweekedGT]

Sweet vid man! Glad she's working for ya! Go on the last yellow for reaction time. Green menas your dead. Once you get used to it you'll be stylin.

Any times with the 6 speed?
