1/4 Mile Times...... Get in here!!!

[mitdr774]

Maybe in the spring I will head out to one of the tracks in Michigan and see what my little 1.8 can do.

I have at least three within a few hours drive. Kinda expensive if you need a tow home though.

Next time you get on the freeway from a stop, go full WOT for 17 seconds. If it doesnt break on you, which it wont, it will survive the 1/4 mile just fine.

I know there are an assortment of quarter mile threads but I want to dedicate a thread for everyone to post their ET's and related advice.

As the times are posted, I'll continue to edit Post #1 with the Rankings.

A lot different than launching at a track. I beat the piss out of my 02 Z24 all the time on the street and it was fine, but I sheered an axle stub off inside the differential at the track. I used to love going to the track when i had a car that would surprise people.

My Cavalier wasnt the fastest by a long shot, but a little blue econobox running low 14s when the hillbilly fox bodys and IROCs are running the same turns a few heads.

The only real difference between mashing it on the street and on the strip is how sticky it is on the strip. SOOOO much rubber on the strip makes it really sticky and the launches are allot harder on the drive line. It really shouldn't be a problem for the sonic at the current power levels, the clutch is going to go poof before you snap a CV or anything like that. A couple hard runs down the 1320 is fun in anything go give it a shot.

 

[mitdr774]

Wheel hop can snap an axle very easily. Its to cold to go to a track now. One or two are still open, but traction will be non existent.

My last pass down a strip was when my 02Z24 was still turbo. Very traction limited run of 14.5@108.92. On a measly 10 PSI, spinning the tires till damn near the 1/8th and no traction at all till part way through third gear. WIth a proper tune, tires, conditions, and possibly driver mod the car was probably capable of much faster runs. Saddly I have gotten rid of most of the parts over the years since then.

Updated post #1 to include all times and elevations. If you don't include elevations with your track time, I'm going to use the elevation according to the city in your profile, which may not be accurate to the actual elevation at the track you ran.

Feel free to correct my estimation and I'll update your info.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Damn, i need to get to the track. I'm barley faster than the 1.8!

Maybe doreo is packing the Home Depot forced air on stock airbox.

My brother's bone stock 71 nova w/307 V8 runs a 17.4.

17.8 with a 1.8 N/A is quite impressive.

 

[B-radly81]

Im gonna try to hit low 15s high 14s next year

The files for the E85 tune just got emailed out today. I'm sure Preloader will go to the track someday soon. It seems like he's been itching to go for a while now.

Sac Raceway is closing open night Wednesdays til February after next week:sadbanana:. I got 2 months to get dialed (data logged).
I need to be prepared to stay the night, because the chances of breaking something are going to be increasing.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

So let's go to the track Wednesday and if you break something i have a comfy futon in my living room lol

 

[Preloader]

Now that I'm corn-fed, I am seriously considering running the qtr this Wednesday, before they close for the season.

I can't fathom waiting til February.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Sounds like a plan to me, see you there at 5?
