Ran 2 passes at Chandler 1/8 mile drag strip, with a best time of 9.992 at 75MPH. RT was .680 with a 2.493 60 ft time.
These were my first runs on a real track, and I must say, launching out of that box is completely different than anything on the street.
I ran the car stock as possible, the only thing I did different was remove the intake restriction diffuser that is supposedly good for 4 hp.
The car would not hook up on either launch, I went around the waterbox and burned off the P-zeros, but no dice.
I left way too hard the first run at about 3500 rpm, then brought it down to 3000 the second run.
Once spinning, I got out of first and rode out second to the end. Hence the jacked up 60ft times.
I do have to say, that I suck driving this car, but I am glad to get some practice in. I did get a better time then another guy in a 05 5speed, but that guy was way off with a 10.69.
Being a newbie sucks, but at least I had the balls to run my car on the track, unlike the trash talkers in the stands.

How easy was it to remove the diffuser? I was looking at mine when I was installing the CAI and noticed that it appeared to be glued in. I had not taken the time yet to play with it.
the diffuser is not that hard to remove it is not glued in either but there is a rubber lip you have to watch out for. when i changed out my intake we removed mine. we kind od peeled back the rubber (2 man job is the easiest way i think) i got some needle nose plyers and we kind of slowly sput it out of there

I've heard from quite a few people not to go through a waterbox on your street radials, that it doesn't increase grip that much unless you use slicks. Course, the P-zero's might be different just to prove me wrong =P
Well well,.. last night I lined up a 93 GT and smoked the living **** out of him...about 20 car lengths!
I launched at 2200 rpm, just feathering the clutch until the starter dropped the flashlight. Gave it about 1/3 throttle, then mashing the gas, shifting to second at about 5700 rpm.
It was a hell of a rush, and it was nice to put my trash talking friend in his place.
I put on the Tri-Ax shifter yesterday and it makes a huge difference. I'm still not used to it, but man does it feel good.
First 2 passes at track
