well, just to show you that it wasn't just me that sucked: An NSX ran a best of 15.3, then ran 16.0. A 2002 CBR600F4i ran a best time of 13.0. An S5 GXL ran a 19.0, then a 19.91. A 3000GT VR-4 ran a 17.1. Many AWD Turbo DSM's ran mid to high 16's. The list goes on.....

Those are some messed up times. So off that it almost wants to make me call BS, but dang those are bad.

Shitty track factor also, e-town is fast. that is how vosko got a 15.9 (he can drive too)



I stayed with chainsawonsteriods GUTTED, straight piped gxl, I launched harder, lost by 1/2 a car

E-town is a great track... especially when prepped for an event, I've gotten my best times there by far. I like MIR in Maryland too.

Yea, i'm in VA and we use MD tracks...so we're close to sea level.



Never trust C&D times...they really cant drive! lol...



My SE in stock form did a 17.1 at best...the NAs are 16 second cars brand new...most of these cars are aged and you need to freshen them up before they can be faster again,lol..my SE had clogged cats and a bad clutch when i ran that 17.1...when I put my straight pipe on, k&n intake and new tires...it would have pulled a 16flat or under I'm sure....



(damn SEs having 185 tires stock)...

It's really not BS. Remember, it was a high school drag day, so it was a bunch of people like me making crappy times. I'm just happy I'm not one of the 7-10 people that just stalled. I have to say though, that Black GXL had the WORST launches of the day. He almost stalled every time he went. Crap, that reminds me I wanted to find him and talk to him https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png
