Results of my first drag day ...

[xXx_OTEP_xXx]

I thought my car was a lot faster than it actually is... thought it would run around 16.4 but uhhh nope .. lol
Almost beat a silver VW GTI turbo when he had a bad start, he beat me by 0.2s i think<p>I did beat the Ford ZX2 though, my only kill.. good race too<p>here was my best run.. came at the end of the day
Reaction - 1.013 (one of my worst)
60 foot - 2.591
330 - 7.365
1/8 mile - 11.323
1/8 MPH - 62.63
1000 - 14.774
1/4 mile - 17.702
1/4 MPH - 76.84<p>Car is basically stock... its a 1.6L DOHC RS and has a K&N filter, 2.25" cat-back exhaust and .. well thats it.. No weight reduction, except taking out the subs and the spare tire. All seats stayed in..<p>So based on my very slow times and my car, was it the car or the driver holding down the times?
I'm thinking its the driver but i dont know what my car SHOULD run... thanks<p>-Dean

Nah dont get your spirits down =] yeah you might get better times with that car say if you only had 3000 miles on it but the given times are about right given the modifications..<p>i remember my first rubn in my RS was about a 10.9 on a 1/8h with a good luanch the car would run 10.6 all night...<p>next week i will have some more times.. i doubnt any quicker than the ones i have laid down latly though given the climate just got whole hella hotter here.. hit 102 today..<p>just remember if you car runns in the 15's you will prolly win most street races you will ever get into =]

When I ran my RS for the first several times. I managed to pull a 16.7 and the only mods I had then were a PRM Intake and custom cat-back exhaust. Now I can only pull low 17's since I have put way too many miles on it.
