Default Made a few passes

Went to test n tune at Lebanon Valley last night for a few runs. Haven't changed anything on the car so no reason to expect anything different but what the heck. Yes I have the slowest 4th gen in the club. Eat shit.

First run: no burnout, dead hooked
60' - 2.018
ET - 13.801
MPH - 99.8

That was actually my best 60' ever by a hair. ET was just a few hundredths off my best time. Probably shouldn't have filled up the tank before I went.

Second run: no burnout, spun a little
60' - 2.194
ET - 13.888
MPH - 100.19

That is the car's best trap speed yet, and only the second time it trapped over 100 mph. The wheelspin probably actually helped.

Third run: burned out, still spun
60' - 2.201
ET - 13.958
MPH - 99.5

This run I not only spun on launch but it got a little loose on the 1-2 shift too. I decided to call it a night after that because I didn't want to put the car into the wall. 2nd and 3rd runs were in the right lane so I'm guessing it wasn't prepped as well or was just a little slick. Despite only having a 2.0 60' the car felt like it left great on that first pass. Every run was launching off idle. Nitto 555Rs at 25 psi.

Didn't want to put into the wall? On a 13 second pass? I did it and didn't even pass the 60' mark!! lol






Nice runs Alex.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

Doesn't take much power to lose it on a slick track!

It's perfect for brackets but I can't cut a good light consistently. Had an .020 but also a red light and a .1xx.

Yeah consistency is key. But you are getting the experience and having fun with it. That's all that matters man.

Very cool Alex!

I definitely see you bracket racing at some point.

pretty good numbers for your mods! play with the tire pressure to get just the right amount of spin, 1.9x 60 and bottom 13.70s
