So those are my times for my first ever runs. Lemme know what ya think.

 

you got awesome 60' times. Must be hooking up good.

 

Thanks. Yea I was hookin up pretty well. I think I coulda launched a bit harder because of it too. My tires must be better then I thought.

 

Great runs. You're a good driver. For being the first times ever, those reaction times are pretty badass. My first 2 runs, I pulled like .9 and .8 reaction times. What width tires are you running?

 

Hey thanks for the complement. Im running 235-60-15 Dunlop GT Qualifiers.

As far as the reaction times go, stop lights provide for good practice ..... not that I've street raced or anything

 

Good size. Same I had on my Camaro. Do you have an automatic or a manual?

 

Unfortunatly Ive got an Auto. Great for crusin, not great for acceleration. Dang 2nd grear takes FOREVER.

 

Yeah, I hear ya there. What rpms do you load it up to launch at?

 

Thats a good question. I once knew, but I dont even wanna venture a guess now. I just do it by feel. Once I think shes gunna break traction, I hold it there. Next time I run I prolly should pay more attention.

 

Sounds like a good strategy...just next time pay attention...some on the site could use the tip! Usually its good to load the car up to the stall speed of the torque converter..stock is probably about a 1400 or 1500 stall maybe...could be less though.

 

Those are some great runs, Kayniac! You never forget your first time! (laughs)
