Have either of you run your cars in the 1/4? I'm interested to know how fast they are out of the hole. I don't do highway races, the CHP are pretty brutal on tickets over 100, especially exhibitions of speed.
Thanks for the welcome. I actually did run my car for the 1st time, and I sucked pretty bad at the strip.

Well, basically this is what happened. It was 85-90 degrees, 90%+ humidty, and the track was slick for some reason.

I got to the line, had my car ready, I launched, I took off like I use to in my previous cars, if they were auto, just stab it off the line, (torque braking seems to not work well), well I spun like mad, no traction at all. I let off, and lightly go into it. Well that was a umm 16+ sec run. heheheh. Okay, so all my other runs I basically went easy into the throttle. Slowly pushing it to the floor, the car did accel very slowly instead of dropping the hammer like I have on the street. I got a 15.3 consistantly with that, but only good muster a 92 trap speed. 2.4-2.6 60s.

I saw a 500hp supra only hitting 15s but with a 119mph trap, he also was spinning bad.

So the track was bad. The conditions were poor as well. I know alot of people have hit mid to high 14s stock in this car, so I am hoping for a better time.

My previous car was a 2001 Maxima 5spd, I hit 14.83 at 94.6 mph with a 2.36x 60ft. It was stock. Conditions were good for those runs.
