Finally!!

[RadRacer]

I finally got to the track. I only got 2 ruuns off though. The first run, I had thought I pulled too far forward and was getting ready to back up some when the lights came on. So, I was caught unexpected and didn't do too good on my reaction. The 2nd one, I did alot better, but could still have done better. This was my very first time ever to a track, and I thought I did pretty good.

Here's a pic of my time slips:


Me Staging:


And a Video of me racing (this is the 2nd run, where I ran a 15.402). You just have to ignore my dad, he wouldn't be quiet.....


This is all in a 97 3.8 Camaro with a Moroso LT1 CAI, Magnaflow Cat-Back, and aluminum DS.

Next mods will be 3.73's, LSD, and !bad-driver

And I thought I was gonna get whipped by that GT, but with my bad reaction time and all, he beat me by only 1-2 links.

yep. That and practice is what I need. Then I get my turbo :banana:

Everyone I knew expected me to run mid 16's (one friend even said 17's), so I impressed them all. I didn't expect a 15.4 for my 2nd run.

Re: Finally!!

Ya, I could have sworn he was going to kill me, and then he barely beat me. That boosted my confidence for my next run :D

LS2 ftw.


nice times, trap speed is real good in the second run, knock that 60' down a bit and your'll be golden. impressive for the first time out, good job.

check the sticker on the driver's door, open the door and just on the inside where the door meets the frame, there should be a service RPO sticker or something. Look for GU4.

My stickers have been pulled off. It's the stock gearing and open diffy. The stock should be 3.23 for a 97 3.8 5-speed non Y-87

M5 = 3.23s

Re: Finally!!

M5 = 3.23s

GU5 actually.

I was thinking of the auto stock, GU4 3.08
