1/4 mile again

s2000isu · 11-16-2007, 09:24 PM

So I took the s to the track. I wanted to see what it would do with the sc. My first run was a 15 flat at 106 hahahaha. When I launched it wheel hopped very very badly so badly the radio cover popped open and it popped outa gear I then put it in 2nd gunned it and it popped out again because of wheel hop. Second run I had horrible wheel hop again to the point I had to get off the gas ran a 14 flat at 111. Third run I took off from the tree like id leave a traffic light then gunned it got a 2.2 60 but when i shifted hard into second it grabbed drove 10 feet the wheel hopped bad so I had to get off the gas ran a 13.6 at 109. 4th and final run I lowered my tire pressure alot launched at 4k rpm got a 2.2 60 foot time ran a 13 flat in the quarter at 112.

So the bad news is me and my tires suck at launching the good news is im getting awesome trap speeds.

Thanks it s fun. I cant believe the difference 7 psi in the rear tires made. I honestly think if I lowered pressure when I first started racing and the track was better I woulda been in the 12's easy.

Go is 112 a higher trap speed then most s2k's with stock sc kits? I was expecting around 109.

Wheel hop's whut's doon ya in, eh?
I'm sure you've already been under 'er lookin' up 'er skirt tryin' to figure somethin' to solidify things, if only for the strip. Any ideas isu? (Two good sized helpin's'a SOS might take some'a that hop oud'a 'er)
N' yeah. Not too shabby fer one'a them liddle furrin jobs.
Be well.

ya wheel hopping is no good. Once I lowered the tire pressure to 21 it was great.

vonster · 11-17-2007, 04:01 AM

s2000isu · 11-17-2007, 06:12 AM

I have no idea. Having never taken my S to the drag strip, I have don't know. Not a big drag racing fan, sorry.

When my buddy used to drag race, he used to put his rears down to 12 psi and ran incredible times. That was a Rustang and it was back in the mid-90's.

Yeah Vez, for the price'uv admission, the "lowly" Mustang can kick some serious keister.

You did have a different axel or rear diff change right(if so, what did you have??)??? Cause my friend with an 05 s2k with exhaust and drag radials, broke he's axel at launch, on the first run!!

js1 · 03-28-2008, 02:18 PM
