Went to PIR on Saturday
And I was pretty disappointed, but oh well.
Well I went to PIR on Saturday night b/c I was in Portland for mother's day, and I decided to go drag my car. Last time (and first) I went out was last summer with my Jetta and it was sorely pathetic. I ran 15.6 @ 94 w/ 91 APR (boost wasn't going over 14 though), DV, CAI, back seats out, N75 J, which is crappy b/c that should run me around a second faster. I couldn't launch and just wasn't experienced.
So this time out I knew it would be a easier, but still tough b/c I've never dragged this car. Well my first two runs were inferiorating! Couldn't get into 2nd. I wasn't grinding it but I would just miss the shift b/c it was hard to get into (those runs were mid 15's). My 3rd run I finally broke into 14's (14.9 @ 95) w/ a crappy 60'(2.444). I ran another SRT-4 on that run and was doing 14.6 (stock I assume, he wasn't friendly).
My next run against the SRT-4 was the best though, but not great.
R/T--- .793 (I didn't care about it)
60' --- 2.339 (best)
330 -- 6.424
1/8 --- 9.713
MPH -- 75.67
1000 -- 12.465
1/4 --- 14.792
MPH --- 96.31
I really thought I coulda got a 14.5 with some better launching and shifting, but my car was getting warm, as was my shifter. I really think I should get a STS and motor mounts. Thus, if I learn how to launch and shift those things alone would probably put me around a 14.4.
My last run was against a guy in a WRX who had bought the car a week ago (really breaking it in). He said he owned a wagon, traded it in, transferred his stuff, and was running near 320hp. He told me he ran a 13.9 the night b4, and low and behold he ran a 13.9 against me. Then he ran a 13.9 like 4 more times. I felt bad for him b/c he just couldn't run any faster, but he had good 60's (a 1.9 against me).
Some other highlights were the old Mopar, Ford, and Chevy muscle cars running 11's, a C4 vette getting a 10, a RV!! running a 29.xxx, and two cars getting the exact same time on the same run (18 something).
