New times!
 
Finally got off my *** and borrowed a set of slicks from a buddy and hit up Lebanon last night for a few passes. I knew my car had more in it and I was right for a change.

The temp was 81, 44% humidity, 3844# race weight on the last pass

First pass
60'- 1.745
1/4- 11.791 @ 116.89

Second pass
60' - 1.598
1/4 - 11.555 @ 117.66

Third pass
60' 2.081
Spun so bad I gave up, ran a 16.498 @ 47.32

Last pass
60' 1.498 NEW BEST
1/4 11.439 @ 118.55 NEW BEST

Still haven't gotten the shift points reset yet so there may be another .1-.2 I can squeeze out of it, but I'm happy for now.

Nice times, I cant wait to get a 1.4x out of my car.

Batman 08-18-2007 09:24 AM

Yeah now if it could just lose 300# without taking anything off it I would behappy.

Why is your car so heavy? Mine at full weight is 3660, and it typically goes to rental days around 3500.

Congrats on the new times 8)

Stock unladen weight for mine was 3450, Trans AM's are heavy! Took out the rear seats and spare, added a roll bar (150 Lbs), 2 harnesses, 10 Lbs fire extinguisher (weighs about 17 pounds), me (about 190 Lbs)and a 1/4 tank of gas. Also have to add SFC's (10 Lbs), STB (3 Lbs), Torque arm relocator (5 Lbs) , driveshaft loop (5 Lbs), heavier sway bars (7 Lbs), heavier torque arm (12 Lbs), switched the car to an auto (probably another 50 LBS) etc etc... Those are rough guesses on weights but they are probably pretty close.
