Today I went to Firebird raceway in Boise Idaho. It was very busy and the track was ghetto compared to bandimere.Anyways, I ran twice here are the #'s
rt:.844
60':2.584
1/8: 10.701
mph:72.55
1/4:16.146
mph 89.77
(a little dissapointed after the first run), run #2
rt:913
60':2.529
1/8:10.061
mph:72.53
1/4: 15.409
mph:93.04
pretty happy with this run. i got some wheel spin/hop in first but not bad overall.
please dont make fun of my rt cause i was concentrating on the launch more than anything. There was another 02 gti there also but he couldnt get into the 15's. I also beat both cars i ran against, a late 80's camero and a late 80's mustang 5.0:PIMP:

Wow you need some slicks on that bad boy. You've got trap speeds that should put you into the high 14's. Nice runs man.

You are right,even I run 14 flats and trap at 94mph....oh yeah,I'm AWD. That's why my car feels slow from a roll. :mad:

some sticky tires would defiantely help. These stock ones just spin when you get on it hard

i thought my times were decent until today. Someone in a bone stock GTI ran a 14.7 @ 95 mph. He was getting 2.2 60' times and was basically at sea level. So with a 2.2 or 2.3 60' time i could run a high 14 low 15. Ill have to work on my launch more
