LT.Smoke Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Being into racing for years. Anytime the temps are over 90 degrees the track wont hook right causing slow times also causing your car to run really hot. The ideal outside temp for racing is 65-80 degrees for exceptional performance. Track preparation also plays a big part in performance Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayhuh? Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm going with driver as well. Not saying it to be a dick, but your timing (reaction time) at the light among the fact of how many times you have ever drag raced and used that car to drag race. Post your times up...all of them. It's not uncommon to see a difference in your time vs what the car is suppose to do. The people who test them do it for a living..times will vary +/-. I had my Lighning do a 12.2 and my friend who had been drag racing for ever got in it and ran a 11 flat (after a few runs). My reaction times were BAD! haha Quote Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Would it surprise you if the factory ratings were a touch inflated? They use the best performance #s that were done under the best possible conditions. As fro the track conditions temperature, humidity, and especially elevation play a big role in track times. There tests are done on their tracks, and done below sea level so you get more power for having a higher air pressure than 14.7 pounds per square inch, which will yield the car more power.

My reaction times were BAD! haha Reaction times have absolutely nothing to do with E.T. it is simply the time it takes you to roll out from the staging bulbs to the actual timed track, Staging shallower will yied better ET's as u have more roll out giving u more speed before you hit the actual timed track, But staging deeper shortens the roll out and causing faster Reactions an slower ET's. just though i should clarify that.

white4d96 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Are you spinning off the line? I don't know how old/worn your tires are but if they are not in good shape and you are spinning, you won't be accelerating as quickly. x2 on the 60' times, let's see them!
