I left the car at dads house last night with the time slips in it. Will post the slips in about an hour and a half. I'm also gonna pull the fuses again! is there anything the dealer can do to check to see which table i'm running on?

Did you actually take your car to the track? I know you were using your phone or something like that to time your car.

Definately sounds like the low octane tune. What were your trap speeds? You should to do the fuse pull mod before you next trip to the track. You should be down in the mid 13s, even in the hot and humid Florida weather. |

I trapped 96 mph on 1st run, 99mph on 2nd run. And I have done the fuse pull before, so idk

The nervous feelings of staging your car to the excited feeling of completing the run are what its all about. Plus you get to hang out and B.S. with other car owners. I've got a stack of literally 500+ times slips from running my previous cars at the track. It's a lot of fun. As soon as the temperatures drop a little I'll be heading to the track (1.5 hour drive each way). Its still getting up in the low 90s with high humidity in my area. I can't deal with hanging out at the track (in jeans - not supposed to wear shorts) in 90 degree weather. Last edited by SGOS252382; 09-26-2009 at 12:04 PM. |

Keep trying, like I said before you have to get to know your car plus I am sure you were a bit nervous there are a lot of things to think about, nerves are understandable. 2 runs are not enough runs to get to know the car. I am glad your are trying again and hopefully you will get more runs.
If you were running against someone it will definately feel less peppy because the car next to you is running hard too, won't have the same sense of speed. Your husband and dad will certainly help you figure the car out. Everyone who has ever taken a car to the track has felt exactly as you feel now bummed it didn't run as quick as you thought. Determination will cure that. All cars are not going to run exactly the same which most people on this forum are expecting. There are too many variables which affect performance. You were also fighting bad air. Hang in there the car will pick up! Let us know how it does.

That 96mph trap speed indicates your car is really down on power. I would love to see it run on a dyno. |

[/QUOTE]There is a problem with her car. The track time for her doesn't start until she moves. It's an automatic. Yes she can get better at it but her slow times were not a result of her driving. I can prove it.[/QUOTE]
I never said that there was not a problem with the car and certainly was not saying it was all driver error either. There is a best way to launch the car and you can't find it in two runs.
