Yea, we had a nice time, it was just myself and the silver GTS; car was filthy from the ride down in the pouring rain from PA to NJ on Friday night; here are the results of the 5 runs before I broke out by rolling over the starting line on the 1st round of eliminations (d'oh
):
60' 2.245
1/4 13.222
MPH 109.02
60' 2.454
1/4 13.382
MPH 109.04
60' 2.411
1/4 13.318
MPH 109.40
60' 2.350
1/4 13.305
MPH 109.38
60' 2.390
1/4 13.390
MPH 109.02
I'm not sure how these numbers are compared with other 96 RT/10's (mine has 40,000 miles on it), however the weather was brutally hot, with temps in the high 80's, with the humidity around 95%. I've learned over the years that I shouldn't even go when the temps are this hot, as I see so many people get frustrated with their times when the weather is so hot, but I just wanted to run it at least once or twice to see what she could do; It's a whole different ballgame when the temp is 45 degrees with very low humidity. I'm sure the 60' times could have been improved upon with more practice; car is completely stock except for smooth tubes and K&N's; the Wizard installed a new clutch and tranny about a month or so ago; tires are PS2's, running 40 psi in the fronts, and 22 psi in the rears; car weighed in at 3,622 pounds. What was the advertised 1/4 time back in 1996 when the car first came out by all the car mags? I was hoping to break into the high 12's, however I'll have to wait until later in the year when the temps are much cooler to give it another whirl...........
