I'd be happy to go under 15 in my car LOL!... just a few tenths of a second to go LOL!

Hey are you getting your speeds from your RSM+G-Sensor? or actual 1/4 mile runs at a track? I was using my RSM+G-Sensor on the run I managed a 15.5 on, and the RSM indicated a 15.3. I'll check the value when I leave work, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. The difference was actually about 0.2 on the runs I used the RSM on. So the RSM 0-400m times are close, but a little generous.

sounds like you boys had a blast!!! fcuk me you must have given it a hard time to slip the clutch in 1st 2nd and 3rd!!

I really want to take my car to a strip.

i think the problem for me will be slipping tyres.

Im going to get some semi slicks for the stock alloys and bolt them up when drag racing.

Do u think that would be a good idea?

Not sure if it's tyre spinning all the way to 3rd or slipping clutch. but more like slipping clutch as I can smell something burning in the cabin & in the engine bay...LOL

The track is so slippery, I don't think it would help putting some semi slicks.
best to put Drag radial tyres.

To be honest, you probably get a better time doing 1/4 on a piece of regular road than on the drag strip.

do you think a LSD would make alot of difference on a slippery tack?

If you are running a straight line, LSD won't make a difference, but if you are on a track.. BY GOLLY it's BENEFICIAL!

Yeah, before I took the car to the strip, I ran 15.23 on the RSM-GP, At the strip where I ran 15.7, my RSM registered 15.5.. Only other reason I can think of that is making the difference is that my G Sensor haven't been mounted flat enough LOL (Re-Calibrating doesn't really help much) I used a level to try and place the G Sensor as flat as possible...

Traction control & launch control would, but not LSD

Not with the Euro's Traction Control on the Strip... It takes too long to recover LOL! est counter against wheel hop is the find the "Just Right" RPM to launch the car and slie the clutch without too much wheel spin....

That's a good time. Now when will someone organise the melbourne's drag race so I won't be a virgin anymore? Nick?

I doubt it is slipping clutch unless you were holding your foot on the clutch pedal - sounds like tyres were losing traction.
