So you never race your car down the track before? I hope you get a lot of seat time. It takes a lot of pratice to get good driving skills. Trust me I know. I been racing at the track since I was in my 20's Street racing is not the same either. Neither is racing from a roll and honking the horn 3 times.

Hence why I said "once I get some seat time."
I know what my car is capeable of with a great driver. And yes I know its not the same...

Yes they come from the factory supercharged. But I'm just saying that this heavy brick is keeping up with modded 2 vales. I do it more to break Gus's balls. :evil:

I'll be going this spring, with my setup I'll be able to hit a low 12 once I get some seat time. If I put some stickies, I could probably hit a 11.9

that's what everybody say, get some seat time and i'm good, you'll need not 5 or 10 passes down the track to manage that, you'll have to launch it 100+ times.
when i first went to the track with a few of my friends, i was very disappointed, cuz the fastest i ran was 14.9(clogged fuel filer, the car was super lean)
my friend with 08GT 3.73's off road exhaust, SLP, CAI, and tune. he ran 14.2. getting better is not as easy as you think, it takes years

im a lil new to this, but seeing that i have an auto and never been to the track, im ASSUMING that i wont need as much seat time as one whos driving a manual correct? all that is required of me is to heat the tires up and floor the accelerator!

as opposed to driving a manual, he/she needs to get the correct shift points and what not

i dont lift off the gas shifting... stab the clutch and grab a gear... maybe thats why my trans keeps blowin up :idk:

powershifting is fun, but does too much damage to your car. i powershifted on my 97, and broke a shift fork on my old T-45lol so i take it easy now. as soon as i get MT's i'll start saving for a new clutch, cuz i feel like i'm gonna leave it on a track somewhere lol.
