Nice jog on the 1st time out!! Cooler weather and some drag radials will definitely help lower your times!!

and yes this was my first time out lol. I do practice on my 0-60's sometimes on dead streets and stuff but never been to a track before. I am hoping a set of drag radials and a little more seat time will get me an 11.9-11.7 timeslip which is what many seem to be running with these mods and an auto.

and as for the evo, that first run was right off the highway with maybe 20mins of cool time which was also my slowest run, but he is still getting used to shifting with the car. Also he only has his 2-step set at 3500rpm which explains the soft launch. Normally those cars set the 2-step at 5500rpm and up which gives them that good launch

AND THANKS FOR THE VIDEO DAREDEVIL!!!! Pretty cool that we were at the same place at the same time lol. Such a small world. Hit me up next time you go, I'm only about 25 mins from there
Ok, it's a 2 hour ride from CT to ET, I'll probably be going next wed or fri night. You did great for the first time out, what's next for mods on your car, your not to far away from the 11 sec range!! Did you see that brand new ZL1 camaro running 15 sec 1/4 mile times....we were all rageing to drive that car!!

O not bad of a ride, if the weather is cooler I may come out again if I dont have work. As for mods for my car, the only other thing I am looking to do is get a tune from Shaun @ AED since steedas tune seems to be a little more canned, than just do some suspension work and get myself some drag radials for the track.

OOO and trust me, I didnt see the ZL1 run cause it was a few cars after me in the staging lanes, but all I heard when I got to the pits was how the ZL1 driver just ran 15 secs lmao and everyone was bashing him

I was actually very impressed with your Steeda CAI/Tune, your car went real good with very little mods, most of the other stangs were running in the 13's. I bet if you race in Sept/Oct you'll drop down to a very low 12 sec passes. Good luck and I'll look for you at the track in the future.

I was talking to the guy in the ZL1, he was a very nice guy, that was the first time he raced a car, hope he does better in the future.
