I'm going to NJ's Island Dragway this Friday night. It will be my first trip to the strip with my new car (old car was a '98 Camaro 3.8L/A4). The new car is a '98 Camaro 3.8L/M5/open diff/3.23s, with a Whisper lid, K&N Filter, !FRA, Magnaflow catback, and LS1 aluminum driveshaft. I've removed the rear seats, and the passenger seat and the spare/jack will be coming out. I'll also be running on a 1/4 tank of gas.
My old car went 15.489@86.48 MPH with an SLP airlid, K&N filter, !FRA, an open diff/3.08s, and the same weight reduction. 60-foot time was 2.131 seconds.
I'm expecting better times from the new car, as it is lighter and has a couple more mods than the old one. I'm also expecting to have a little fun with a ricer, who happens to be my cousins' neighbor. He's got a V6 Ford Probe, with a fart can, CAI, aftermarket 17-inch wheels, and a ton of stereo equipment. He said he could beat me in a race, so I invited him to settle things on the track. Maybe I should put some money on it, just to make it more interesting? ;) Anyway, wish me luck. I hope to improve my personal best time.
