Went to Import faceoff, this weekend to see what the SC would do. I ran a 13.92 on a simulated dyno 1/4mi run a few months ago. So wanted to see what a real 1/4mi run would be, as to the dyno run. Well pretty close, 14.19 @ 98. Almost got this WS6 T/A. But didnt.

You may have not beaten the T/A, but at least you car doesn't sound completely terrible like it does!

Good run, looks like a nice day!

Well as you can see in the video. I had a .343 reaction time & he had a .784 reaction time. When we were sitting in the staging lanes, I could see he had A pillar gauges. Not sure if he had a supercharger or not. I didnt hear one, but I looked at the time slip today & he finished @ 107mph. So he gave up 4 tenths to me on the start & beat me by 5 tenths.

Looks good! You're still automatic and you have that low geared rear end. Maybe you should try to swap to a 4.08 or even a 4.27 just to see how it helps ya out.

This is the 1st time I ran the 1/4mi. My car is not a drag car. More of road race set up & daily driver. I dont like the gas milage as it is, little alone 4.27. I also dont like the lower top speed. My 3.76 is limited to 128mph.

Yeah, I went to the Texas Motorplex website which lists them as 500' ASL Nice run BTW, I love how you can't hear you car yet it still hangs right in there with that noisy-*** TA.
