So I've gotten my bone stock LGT out to the drag strip a couple time since I got it six months ago. This is my first manual car, and the first time out, a month after buying it, I got a 15.2 @ 89 mph with a 2.09 60 ft. I was ok with it, I was still worrying about stalling my car on hills at that point, let alone bangin gears down the drag strip.
Then I went out at the end of January, still stock, except for 17x8 wheels and 215/45 superbald Yokohama es100s. My best run of the night:
60ft- 2.086
1/8- 9.516 @ 72.75
1/4- 14.867 @ 92.21
Then, the next run was shaping up to be even better, maybe a 14.6~? I was up over a tenth of a second and one mph in the eighth, but I missed fourth and just coasted through the traps.
60ft- 2.103
1/8- 9.397 @ 73.78
1/4- 15.153 @ 75.44
My tires were so done I was spinning most of the way through first, which might contribute to the horrid 60 foots. That or I just can't figure out how to launch this damn car. I hope I'll make it to the drag strip this friday with my new 245/40 S-drives and see what happens.
These runs were done at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway drag strip. It's about 2100' above sea level.
