Im about to go run the 1/8th track here in 30 minutes so wish me luck i see alot of 1/4 times but never any 1/8 times, whats a good number to run on a stock auto?

 

I thought this was going to be another Eminem thing.

 

You know you are in the Ghetto when you are no longer in 8 mile--its 1/8 mile woot woot!

 

well i ran a 10.88 but they didnt print any time slips tonight so i dont know how fast i was going. I only ran once, full tank of gas + sub, trac off, o/d off, and that xtra power button thing was on. Since it was my first time i wasnt use to how fast the count down on the tree was so i didnt power break or anything.

 

Well this is what I ran stock in the 1/4 but I will show my whole slip times, but mine is a 5sp @ 133K miles...
R/T- .163
60'- 2.135
330'- 6.291
1/8- 9.913
MPH- 70.65
1000- 12.706
1/4- 15.398
MPH- 89.67

 

We totally got screwed over with our autos... Best I could ever muster out of the car was a 16.8@84.4 mph, im betting money my 140 hp sohc 240sx would of done better then that.

1/8 was a high 10 on verge on being 11s.

Granted the strip at the time was not at sea level but even corrected it would only brought it down to a 16.2@87 mph... Sad times. Yet another reason why I think this car had overated hp figures!

Although i decided to keep it stock for a while longer, Im hoping that I get a chance to do something with this car eventually now that I somehow managed to resurrect this car from the dead (it was rear ended a year ago.)

 

yah, it didnt help me feel any better because i followed a supercharged C5 drop top that ran a 6.4

 

That never feels good!!!

 

Wow, those ARE horrible times (no offense). I thought that our cars were suppose to pull high 15s? I know that with over 100k they won't do that, but geez my friends 94 nissan hardbody truck ran a best of 10.7

 

Mine has well over 100k and cut low-mid 15's all day on 255/40-18 S0-3. It is still low as **** though

 

I was getting close to bringing mine to run the 1/4, then hail owned my *** and now I am driving a 96 Taurus while my baby sits at a body shop!!

I will make it soon though.

Peace,
Jonny

 

5 speed makes a huge difference. Id say about a second off or damn close to it. For one youd be able to actually get respectable launches with the 5 speed. With my auto the best 60' time was 2.5x ... And that was with a brake torque launch. In addition to getting to launch right you also get an extra gear to play with, and off course the no one could forget the not as harsh drive train losses.

High peak torque, plus uber long gears + overated hp figures+ low stall converter = huge dissapointment. Since this is my daily driver for the forseable future I just wont worry about it anymore.

 

my sc400 i think did ok at the track i ran a 15.4 on 1/4 mile. with stock wheels. my car only has a custom exhaust and jus a intake filter put on with a adapter. my time slip:
