well i just got back from shannonville raceway, and here is what i did:
run,,,,,,,, reaction,,,,,,,, 60 ft,,,,,,,, 1/8ET,,,,,,,, 1/4 ET,,,,,,,, 1/4MPH,,,,,,,,
#1,,,,,,,, .6379,,,,,,,,, 2.6560,,,,,,, 11.589,,,,,,,, 18.138,,,,,,,, 76.67
#2,,,,,,,, .6080,,,,,,,,, 2.6241,,,,,, , 11.725,,,,,,,, 18.277,,,,,,,, 76.52
#3,,,,,,,, .5708,,,,,,,,, 2.5122,,,,,,, 11.372,,,,,,,, 17.818,,,,,,,, 77.82
#4 bastards lost my time, and it was my best run i think!!

I think these are my times anyhow, im not quite sure how to read these slips, but all i know is i ALMOST beat old school 5.0's (89-92) might just be thier poor driving though. when i say almost i mean i could see the guy through their driver side window
this is in my 03"3.8 V-6 with only true dual exaust.automatic tranny. are they good run's?
As soon as i can find some im going to get underdrive pulleys, what should i expect after i get the pulleys?
Thanks

 

Heh. Sorry, I just had to.

Given that it’s an automatic, you really can’t work on your driving. You can only hope to add a butt load of mods to make it not embarrassingly slow. Sorry.

Do you happen to live at a really high altitude?

 

i live in ontario canada right by lake ontario, so no i dont think i live at high altitude.....

a stock 2000 civic CANNOT BEAT A MUSTANG!!!! even v6's, unless its turbo, or if you have a few mods. the only civic that would come close would be an si, but even those cant beat a stang unless modded..

what does your 2000 civic run? because i stomped one on the street the other day. dont know what it was....maybe a little 3 cylinder for all i know about ricers[&:].

 

you said other drivers had bad driving?..dude look at your reaction times....need some 4.10's to lower those 60 ft times and a nice 2500 stall

 

ok dont know how to quote: so this is quoteing vfast:
"you said other drivers had bad driving".....
when did i say that in this post?....i said it about the saleen and i never said i was a good driver, this was first time at the track. ya i might not have good reaction times, and that was not my question niether[>:]

 

Man, I seriously didn't think it's possible for a late model Mustang to run 18 seconds.

 

What size diamiter pipe did you use for your "dual exhaust"? if it's bigger then 2.25 then there is a good chance that it's way too big and hurting you more then it's helping.

 

96silver
hmm, not too sure what size it is. i bought it that way.
how do i tell? do i wrap the measuring tape around the pipe? or measure from edge to edge?
thanks

 

OICW
what do you mean?....you think that it should be faster than that, or that its doing good, for a 3.8L
thanks

 

your reaction times and 60 foot times are horrible. they are hurting your times badly. you need some more practice, you should be running mid 16's at least.
