lol cool man i went to byron last year with uti. Un fortonatly i had to work today. by chance did you race a 93 gt it had the bear big brake kit and the crome corba rims.?
I think it might have been in your second run. but my buddy went and didnt answer his phone i just wan to see if taht 13.3 was him.

damn good times especially considering your still in the 2.3 60's i got a low 2.22 and best of 15.699 at 84.7 ive trapped highest of 87.88 so its got a bit more in it for me to find, my cars mods are pretty mucht he same as yours, wai short shifter, but ive got 18's and a streetfire kit slowing me down makes me wanna go a run with stock wheels and panels see if i can managed better.

its hard to get good 60ft times at byron. theres almost too much traction there.

times look good though man. especially that 15.40



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

change the trans fluid to amsoil ATF it makes power shifting much easyer. I had a hard time power shifting into third but not now!


see ya!

thanks for the advice nova racer but i don't power shift... i' ve always been scared i'm gonna f something up

pushrods--> i'm not sure about the 13.3 mustang, all i can remember than it was neon green, i think it had cobra rims. I'll have to watch the tape again and i'll get back to you

ILL give you some comments.
Comment#1-Your buddy did a 15.3 in his rx-8. They are slow as balls.
Comment#2-The2.4L turbo pt cruiser did 15.8 in the 1/4. He drives like an oldlady
Comment#3- Dude you got some decent runs, but lower down that R/T down to aleast .300-.350's. Just stay focused on the tree. You are doing .8's and .6's and they are hurting or 1/4 times.

Hey manny thanks for the feed back. i know my r/t's suck i was focusing on my rpm's and not the tree. now that i know what to launch at i should be able to work on the r/t. i don't know how fast the 2.4turbos are in the pt's. i have a friend with the exact same car, with the exact same time (13.87 @ 101). if you ever feel like trading me... just let me know

reaction times dont mean jack squat for your 1/4 time, only how quick you start your 1/4 compaired to the guy in the lane next to you.

Turbo PT's are not all that quick in stock form, have a friend that runs high 15's in it all the time

yeah, the guy had never raced either. he was running low 16's, and i was talking to him and told him to lower his tire pressure. and he ran his fastest the run i raced him. he probably could get it down more if he stripped his car, but probably not a whole lot

No the mustang was a dark red hatch.
