Default track times

does anyone know what the average track times are for my 04 gt, 5-speed, no mods, flowmaster 40 series? i went to the track for the first time last night and i was very disappointed with the results.

give us your best time slip, 60 foot, 1/8, 1/4, mph's, everything. we can tell where your problem is if its that bad, but 14s are normal

they were slow, very slow. i am at work now but when i go to my car i will bring them in and post them. it seemed like there was a big problem on take off. the f***ing tires spinned way too much. (i went around the water too, it wasn't because of that).

Let me guess, you reved to 3k and dumped the clutch when the light went green? I haven no idea what could have went wrong.

actually, i reved it to 4k and it still acted like that. do you think possibly the tires is what is holding it back? anyway, i will post the times this afternoon and you can help me figure this out. i guess i just expected too much...

yeah, i kinda figured that out after i found pieces of my tires under the wheel wells. i don't get it though. do other people have this problem with regular tires? as you can tell, i am not experienced with the whole track thing. until i found out about our track here, i just street raced when no one was looking. stupid, i know. what would you launch at?

like 2500 at most with street tires. you're still going to spin really bad.

Come off at idle....anything higher and you're gonna blow the tires off. Line up and slip the clutch until it grabs, then nail it.
