I made my first trip to the drag strip this weekend just to see what the car would do.
Launching was a major problem but I knew that going in. Tires used were 205/55/14 Kumho victoracers. Boost set at 14psi.
60 ft - 2.6sec
ET- 14.2
MPH - 110

WOW. 14.2 @ 110 MPH?!? Talk about wheelspin! That's easily a 12 second trap speed. You need slicks. http://www.sr20deforum.com/NonCGI/smile.gif

My memory isn't what it used to be, here are the actual numbers from my time slip:

60ft-2.523
1/8-9.666
1/8 mph 84.03
1000-12.213
1/4-14.302
mph-110.24

On my second attempt I tried launching at only 7 lbs of boost but still had a 2.5 60ft.
I think the majority of the problem lies in the lack of ability to modulate the ACT 6-puck unsprung disc, that and driver ability and lack of proper tire. Oh well, just wanted to see what the car would do. Back to turning left and right.
