Ecotec 1/4 Mile Times!

[MikeSS]

So I went dragging racing for the first time ever in my life last night. I must say I had a blast!!! I ran my 2003 2 Door alero about 5 times. It had just over half a tank of gas (a mix of Esso 87 and Sunoco 94.....don't ask...), no spare tire or jack, and my stock crappy 15 inch rims with horrible BF Goodrich Touring T/A's (poop tires). I couldn't help be spin my tires through most of first gear (like to 5500rpm) on most runs, but here are my results.

Run #1 was against a 5.0L Mustang.....I am in the right lane....I got taken bad <_<

[MikeSS]

Run #2 was against a 2.4L automatic Alero from this site (you know who you are) I am in the right lane again. Big Win! This is my best time too! a 15.54!!! Go Ecotec

This is run #3. I went against a Ram Air Grand Am GT who had taken out his spare too, but had less gas and one heavy ass body kit (and 18" rims). He admits it isn't his best run though. I am in the right lane again! Big Win!

BTW - The clock screwed up at the 1/8 mile mark. I could only hope I got a 8.934 @ 82.73MPH time there

wow alot of big wins. good job. you got any mods and is your car automatic

never mind the second part of my question i figured it out , but those are some good times but not as good as my 2.4L 5 speed mmmmuaaaahhh ha ha ha

[MikeSS]

Yeah, it is a 5 Speed Manual. the only Engine mods I have are a CAI and Cat bcack exhaust. Next time I go out I'll have my new 17's on the front (keep the skinnier lighter 15's on the back) and less gas and RSM motor mounts. Hopefully the times drop a bit

dam good times for the eco!!....good job

good times, you will have it running 14's in no time. Gotta get your MPH up...but that just means you get traction....unlike me :thumbsup:

^ lol ^ Poor guy, his car didn't blow up THAT bad

Work on that R/T. Get that down and you'll smoke a lot of people.

Go on the 3rd amber, if the light turns green, you're late.

Really good 60 foot times. Your launch looks pretty good. I just got a 2.280 this weekend, my best 60 foot ever.

Don't worry about who your racing, esp in a test and tune or time trials, you'll get to nervous and screw up.

What RPM did you launch at?

Yeah, some people told me about that with the reaction times....so if I giver 'er at the third light, I should red light?

I was dropping at about 2900-3000rpm with 22psi in my tires. But I will have my new 17' tires up front nexdt time (keep the 15's on the back for dragging) so hopefully I'll get better traction.

alright cool, maybe things will work out in my favour regarding my work schedule. I won't be able to make it to the ASS meet because I have to work on the sunday and I can't get out of it FFS issed:
