Stock 3.8 1/4 mile time?

[Will]

What is the 1/4 mile time on a stock 3.8 camaro? Mine is a 96. I have some mods and im going to the track soon but i was just wondering what they ran the 1/4 mile stock?

[John_D.]

I ran 15.7's and up, with my automatic '98 with lsd and 3.42 gears. (all stock except K&N filter at the time)

My 97 w/ cat back and cold air went 16.7 :(

-auto w/ 3.08s... low 16s, high 15s...
-auto w/ 3.42s and lsd.... mid 15s sometimes low 15s
-stick w/ 3.23s, mid 15s sometimes low 15s and high 15s are not unreasonable depending on driver ability...

though many will argue my thoughts on these times...

3.42 in an A4 is worth .4-.5 over 3.08. This is proven time and time again.

If you say a 3.42 car will go 15.1 stock, then it will go 15.5 with 3.08's.

Pre 00 A4's are at a disadvantage with their tighter torque converters.

cool thread, gives me some idea of what the Bird should run when it's finally done.

I am heading to the track Apr 2 and I have 3.8l A4 stock 3.08 gears with no LSD. only mods are cold air intake, K&N filter, and whipser lid.
My goal is 16.0 [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

I ran mid 15 on my M5

Hmm I went 15.2x with a 2.175 60ft on 3.08's and stock GA's.. I wonder what I can do with 3.42's and Nittos?..hmmm. Well to the topic at hand, what you run depends on how good a driver you are. If you are inexperienced at drag racing, your times will improve, as you get used to launching the car. I would expect mid 15's to mid 16's on 3.08's depending on how good the driver is. Just my .02.. :D

Looks like, from your sig, that is with exhaust and lid?

Do you have times from before the exhaust and lid? (just curious, since he was asking about "stock" times....) [img]smile.gif[/img]

I was initally going to wait, till after tranny, LSD gears, verter, and heads and cam.. But I got curious after I did the Filter, lid and exhaust, so I ran it.. I wasn't expecting 15.2x with 3.08's, I was expecting like 15.5's with lid and exhaust. I was very surprised.. Oh well.. I'm going for 15.1x this weekend

[John_D.]

I was just curious because I ran 15.7 stock, and 15.4 with lid and exhuast.... I imagine those true duals are helping you a similar amount, but was looking for a cross-check on that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Timbo1969]

If I had to guess I'd say 15.5x but I really can't tell because I didn't run it.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Screamin99]

so what should my car run?

its got Flowmasters and a K&N CAI. and its Eagle F1's the GS_D3's I think.. oh yea its a 96 M5.

[shenanigans]

hard to say...

just go once post your timeslip and we with that we can help point out where your problems are and what you can run.

but your setup, mid to low 15s. if its your first time to the track don't be surprised if you are runnin mid 16s seen it happen before. [img]smile.gif[/img]
