That is good. I pulled 15.0@96 with a Revo'd GTI and horrible 60 foot times.

My worst was around 19.. Forgot to turn the damn traction control off.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Haha i almost forgot to turn it off once. I cought it just in time!

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Those are awsome times for a stock Gti.

In fact I don't think i have seen many run lower than mid 15s there.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Wow thats great to know! I guess its a good base number before i start modding.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

What was your 60ft. I was racing that night and the Density Altitude was 4500ft which is pretty crappy. Go racing again when DA is 2800-3000 (it would have to be cold) and you'd hit 14s IMO.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Humm dont remember my 60ft. ill have to look later and post it. Are you the one i raced near the end of the night?

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Yes. I think the guy screwed you over and started the lights when you were reversing

I have done that before a few times. Next time when the second stage light goes out don't bother reversing. It's called a late stage and he'll late you go that way. As long as both are not out you're fine.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Oh i dident know that. i know. in the right lane, i would stop when it was perfect. but the ground was un even or something. i wouldent stop rolling forward haha. ill just wait next time. I know he screw me and i took off so late. lol. But you rocketed.i was impressed.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

This is why i like the left lane. Never have that problem there.

With your 92 mph trap you'd keep pretty close to me from a roll. It shows you that drag racing is mostly in the launch. I never take off like that other than at the track. Its hard on the drivetrain.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Yeah i bet it is. 4wd? Yeah i noticed its the lunch take makes the whole time. Becuase on my bad launch i got 15.8 and 15.7 but still 90-91 mph. But with a good launch i got thr 15.1 with 92. i will have to look at my 60ft. I could work on my reaction time too. i beleve it was like .433 or something.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

my car is actually AWD. So it's a full time system.

Reaction time is nice the get down if you're racing someone but it doesn't count towards your total time.

Re: 1/4 mile times!

Yeah some one was telling me that. I am curious what a turbo intake pipe and chip will do for my 1/4 mile.

[asp gti]

Re: 1/4 mile times!

probably quite a bit, im just guesing but between .5 and 1 seconds off maybe? turbo inlet pipe and chip will make a big difference

Re: 1/4 mile times!

my 60' was 2.3 seconds. im not sure if thats good or not?
