Ok quick and stupid question.

I'm going to the drag strip. Its not my first time there but I was wondering....a lot of people on here are saying to take out the spare tire and jack and everything.....so should I do that? Because I dont have any traction/suspension mods at all (well as of yet. lol). Or should I leave the spare and jack in there to help keep the back down and not spin? Thanks in advance guys!

i say take it out you shoudlnt have traction problems with a V6(unless its a gt and you changed the emblems), and you lose about 25 pounds takin it out

Yes, you should
and pull out the rear seats as well

and loose those chunks of cast iron
bolted to your rear axle
crawl under there and you will see
what I mean

remove your panhard bar, drill
a hole in the side of it and remove
the lead shot thats inside it, weld
up hole, reinstall panhard bar

filling your tires with helium helps
with the nasty unsprung weight

LOL

When I went to the track for the first time I took the spare & jack out (why not?). Ever since then...I've never put it back in. Plus, I have free road-side assistance so if there ever was a problem then it would be handled accordingly.

I dont touch my car, i just lowerd my rear tires to 21psi, and pulled 2.0 60's ft...that is what you need to do.

Yup. I say take them out.

unless you live in the middle of nowhere, most people have road side assistance, i dont know why anyone leaves their spare tire and jack in the trunk.. i dont know why i do..

Hey any weigth you can lose, do it. Really.

Now about chunks of cast iron bolted to your rear axle.........

HAHA ya I know I was reading 157db's post and I was like wtf. lol

Ok kool thanks guys. Its out already.

And also lower the tire pressure in the rear to like 20 psi and inflate the front to like 35 psi would help?
