Well, just got back from the track last night and figured I'd share my results. Now before anyone says "why run a 300", it was just in good fun, after selling my Supra, its been hard enough to stay away, so anyways....After three passes my best time was a 16.61@84mph. This seems a bit slow to me, as I think the posted numbers are like 15.7@87. I do live in phoenix, and it was 102 degrees at the track. Yes, I ran in manual mode and PWR both, also turned the VSC off. Slight tire spinage each time, only about 2 or 3 feet.

So anyone else take their GS3's down the 1/4 mile??? I'm curious if I"m where I should be!

 

There can be several factors as to why you're not reproducing published times (wheel spin, temperature, mfg/magazine lying about times). I've taken my GS4 to the track 4 or 5 times here in LA, usually in Palmdale (3,000 ft above sea level) and once in Carlsbad (200 ft above sea level). I'm not happy with the times I've gotten, but they are what they are. I've got SRT intake and the PI torque converter, as well as nitto extreme drag radials on the rear. My best time at Palmdale is 14.9 and my best at Carlsbad is 14.5. That's after doing a couple second burnout and powerbraking at 2,000 rpms. I still get some pretty bad wheel spin which could explain the low ETs.

I'd actually like to see a So. Cal meet at a track and we could all compare our time slips.

 

Nice to someone take their GS to the drags. 14.5 is decent at Carlsbad. Hard for RWD V8's to hook up there.

 

Hollo COW Your times are really really bad!!!:eek: Are you sure you got the GS4. No for real tho you need some practice thats all with all the mods you have you should be faster than me. Do you have the Race ECU? Also you don't need to power brake at 2000 RPM with the TC....better yet you shouldn't beable too! I would think you break traction well under 2000rpm being that you have the TC. I lauch my car right at 2000 rpm thats just about the highest I can go before I break traction. My STOCK time was a 14.4 @97mph.

 

Pusher - I don't doubt your times, but I have yet to see as stock GS4 pull a 14.4 here at any So. Cal track. There can be several factors as to differences in time (the track itself, altitude, air temperature, etc). I just got the race ECU last week, but I don't really notice a significant difference. I'll see what it does for my times. I'd like to get down to Carlsbad again, but it's 120 miles from my house. And like I said, I'd love to see a group of CL members meet up at either Carlsbad or Palmdale and run their cars. I'd be curious to see their time slips.

 

a frickin' 15.1 at 97/98(after reading it its more like 95/96). my times sucked, but then so did everyone elses that went that day. the fastest GS4's were the ones with the lightest mods, and they only ran like a 14.9

Here is a link to the debacle......


Doc

 

Here you go!!!!!!! Now like I said you just need to practice a little more. I will post my newest time slip as soon as I find it ...The 13.9 one ...I know its somewhere in the house. I been showing everyone it and bragging LOL Also look at my 60 foot time ...that is terrible, I guess I still need some practice myself.

 

And that was with tire spinn. I think that if I don't heat my tires up I will stick better on take off. I was told you only need to heat up SLICKs not street tires or Z rated tires......some help us out on that matter...tires that is!!!

 

Did you pulll that 13.9 on 20 inch rims????

 

HELL NO!!!!!! I wish...... It was stock 17 inch CHROME!!!

 

Haha, I was thinking to myself "damn!" if you did!

 

I will be running faster than that come X-mas time.....Can you say TT

 

i ran 17.3 @ 84mph which i thick really sucks

 

I know I need more practice at the track too. I find for me, the best 60ft. times are when I power brake to about 1400 RPM's and don't burn up the rubber before hand. (try not to get the tires wet before your run). I run on stock chrome 17's with no TQ and my best 60ft time to date was a 1.90

 

That is very impressing 60 foot time ...1.9....... That was better than mine when I ran the 13.9.
