Hey Guys,
Tonight I went to the track with a bunch of my friends to see what my car could run before I do my 20 valve silver top 4A-GE swap, and I ended up lined up against a Viper GTS with exhaust on one of my four runs. wink.gif We took off and I got completely smoked all the way through the race! The Viper ran a 12.4 and I ran a 17.7, which was the fastest of my four runs. My slowest run was an 18 flat. Tomorrow I can get the slips out of my friend's car and I can get some exact numbers.

How does my track time compare to other ST track times for the quarter mile? Keep in mind that I had a slow reaction time of about .6-.8 on every one of my runs.

Also, if anyone's curious, here's a pic of the Viper that was at the track.

The Viper owner was really cool by the way. I asked if I could take some pics of his car, and he was like "Sure, want me to close the hood for you?"

I just can't wait to run my car once I get my swap done. biggrin.gif

By the way ScoobyDooCruiser, it only costs $15 to race here on Wednesday nights, and you can go as much as you want. I only went four times, but some of my friends went eight or so times. smile.gif

same at LACR.

but with student ID, its only $5!!!

its a lot of fun to go and watch and race. last time i went there was a 1995 mustang 5.0 that ran 8's!!!!!!!!

on his last run, he wanted to try a little harder and shift harder/faster. popped a wheelie off the line, popped another one shifting into second, shifted into 3rd, popped another wheelie, and started weaving around. he ended up driving an extra 100 ft in the 1/4 mile.

still got a way way better time than my car.

i have also had guys with older celicas ask to race me.
