First track run
Took the basically stock SVX to the 1/4 mile track around here.
Did 4 runs. 1-3 in rapid succession, then the 4th after nightfall. After the 3rd straight run, my brakes wouldn't hold me in place from the brake fade, so I called it quits for a bit. The 4th run, the tranny wouldn't grab... 4th? Maybe 3rd, whatever gear you hit right before the trap. Only mods to the powertrain is a Stebro. With it being my 4 first drag runs ever, I feel my R/T and 60' weren't too bad. Car just has nothing up top. I really want to get it into the 15's.  There were some wild cars there. I went with all the "local" subarus, so I was racing STi's all day. Needless to say, I didn't hold up well next to my buddies 11.9 second STi...  My favorite though was a bone stock Escape. He had zero mods, and was running 17-19's all day. It was hilarious to watch. I'll be honest, I didn't find the driving too much fun. The launch takes a little skill, but it still felt like a cakewalk. I don't think I'll run till I have a manual swap, hopefully then I'll enjoy it more.

Re: First track run

Drag racing is a great way to check out performance mods! Its like a 1320' dyno!

Re: First track run
Ridered your 60' suuuuucks. Mine was 2.4 (15.6, June 2005, stg 1v3, that's it) with my front wheels spinning and rear wheels doing nothing. Your trap is also a bit slow. Not trying to rub it in, but what I think it means is your car is not producing stock power or has gained a bit of weight.
Also you need some better brake pads.

The way I read the first 3 slips is that the car IS running in the 15s and it's just YOU that is slow. Subtract your very slow trap times and see what the CAR is doing. Lee

Needless to say, I stopped running it after it decided not to shift. Quote:

I really don't think you were doing 84 in second or 4th, but if your trans is shifting early that would explain a bit.
