Yesterday was my first time at the track after nearly a year of owning my stang (a 2000 gt). Man what a thrill. Me and my friend (he was a brand new WRX) were the first in line and I was nervous as hell. I staged the car and forgot to look at the lights. Finally launched when I saw his tires spinning. When I got there I was just hoping to get under 15 secs. Well, With a reaction time of nearly 2 seconds I managed a 14.975 at 98.99 mph. If anybody out there is afraid of a WRX, don't worry, he never got in the 14'S.
I did 7 passes and managed a best ET of 14.567 on my second attempt. My best mph was 99.106. That was against an s2000 who I lost to by .190 secs. If I hadn't hit the rev limiter in first I think I could have gotten him.
I am now officially hooked. Next wednesday night is an all Mustang night at Napierville dragway and I'll be there for sure.
Now a question to the experts. At what RPM do you launch? I was launching at
3000 and slowly flooring the throttle. Except when I was up against a supercharged 99+ and was so anxious I floored it... My best 60 was 2.309. Is that any good??Oh and my car is bone stock so now I have a shot at Modless Wonder :))
