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!

 

F-bodies are so ugly.

 

Nice numbers

 

Yeah, his car had dumped exhaust. You cant even hear my car in the video lol.

Thanks man.

 

i thought fbodys were faster than that

 

Whats your elevation up there?

 

Looks like about 500' ASL based on those videos.

 

Good guess. I just googled Texas Motorplex & its 530ft ASL.

 

lol they are, some run good some dont. theres also age and maintnace lack of. My old LT1 car which put down 275rwhp with 2800 stall,exhaust no headers and intake ran 12.9x@105mph. Ls1 cars run nicely into 12s, some even crack 12s with just a filter.

 

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.

 

Your SC is quick! Those are some impressive numbers.

 

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.
