Talking Going to the drag strip Sunday.....(Updated with pics)

1/4 mile track, been there before and my best time is 14.4/14.5 in my GS 400/430.

Clearly hoping to get in the low 14s and maybe even crack 14 in the hybrid.... I may even let the G/F make a couple runs as she is much lighter

I'll take pics and post my slips

using OEM wheels?(unless u ARE on oems) from my experience, the lighter/smaller the wheel, the better response you get.... on a set of 18s on my turbo miata it took for-****ing ever to get to 100.... but on a set of 16s (8in width) i was raping people left n right

can't wait to see what the 450h can do!

IF you get the invidia mid-pipe, free flowing exhaust, and intake, fairly certainly your time will be better!

I think low 14's is likely. Good luck!
