well if your running your drag radials it wont exactly be even.might point exactly!

most people say that 2V's are slow but without DR's they can't get the power to the ground (which most people with 2V's aren't) otherwise i spin badly without them and since 2V's arent a top end motor they can't make it up unlike say an LS1

now i am not saying my car is LS1 fast but i just want to see how much of a difference the DR's and line lock make, plus i need some more driving practice

your line lock is pretty much pointless unless your racing on a hill

your line lock is pretty much pointless unless your racing on a hillwell after last weekend it would of worked great at the new spot we went to

but it's the only way to heat up my DR's with minumum wear on my rear brake pads and when there heated up it definitely is a night/day difference

for example when i first raced (Thunder) i wasn't able to heat them up and he pulled like 3 or 4 cars on me. 2nd time we raced i was able to heat them up and closed the gap to 2, 2.5 cars

ya line locks rock for doing burnouts, that alone is worth the money

I honestly never had any issues with mine. Hell, even on the stock shitty ass Goodyears with 20k miles on them I was able to cut 2.2 60's pretty consistently. Not exactly good, but good enough for stock trim.

5K clucth drop and it would only chirp em and go even with 3.73's and stock control arms. my fox also ran a 9.3 in the 1/8th without me being able to drop the clutch at the track it would have to let the clutch out quickly and then hammer it

****. I really can't remember now. :(

It was considerbly low though. I found that sweet spot where the car just spun till she hit it's powerband, then took off.

EDIT: I wanna say I was launching around 1,500 maybe? That rings a bell for some reason.

My 96 never failed me, but my 03 did all the time till I added friction modifier. That ****er would almost send me into a pole half the damn time because it would kick in and out at random times, throwing me completly the **** off. lol

Cobra Commander
11th October 2007, 08:12 PM
Eh, I've read that, but I really don't know if there is a huge difference. I've heard of people having the same one tire fire problems in an 04, so who knows. Duriabilty, probably, but that is as far as that goes.

I am kinda wanting to race a 5 speed since my car is one but I would race an auto also

Cobra Commander
11th October 2007, 08:52 PM
The auto GT's are ****ing weird. Some run harder then manuals, and others are complete dogs. It's common for some to dyno almost 230whp and damn near crack a 13, which is almost more then a manual can do on average. lol

one of my friends used to have a Del Sol that did that with his aftermarket guages

Haha, I know. I had it here in Lincoln last Monday, but it was on a full tank of gas. :(

That ****er is racking up the miles though. It's creeping up on 90k miles already. My dad drives the **** out of it! :eek:

The car has been perfect, other then the syncros, which everyone knows is complete junk on 3650 transmissions. He had that fixed under warranty though at 36k.

I think the only problem he had was some gas tank sensor tripping the check engine light all the time. It had something to do with the sensor thinking the car was vapor locking or something weird like that.
