If she had a good reaction time she didn't red light....... However she won't post her 1/8 mile times because she's not happy with them, at least that's my guess.

Ha rdss is correct. I think my best time was 16.4 lol
79 degrees and 89% humidity. Do I suck that bad?

A 16.4 1/4th isn't horrible for a stock 1.8 but a 16.4 1/8th is horrible for even a moped.......

It was for 1/4 mile tuned 1.4

Then not to horrible. Should have been a lot closer to 15 though.
I know you have a tuned RS by the way.....

Don't be discouraged. Hey at least you're out there doing it. Officially our first 1/4 mile chick entry. That's awesome!!!
16.4 is slower than what should be expected. Lets figure out what held you back. Did you do manual shift your auto?
Did you get a nice peel out on your launch?
You want a little slippage to get your boost up quickly.

Used auto and no peeling. What is a power break? And could I use that next time?

I haven't heard that term, but with an auto you want to stand on the brakes and rev your engine close to the point of a burnout.... Maybe 2,800-3,300.
As the light goes green, let off brake, pin the throttle, and pucker up.
That's a power brake. Load the car as Preloader said and launch hard. Keep in mind this boils your transmission fluid and you want a good cool down and should consider trans fluid changes more often than not if you tend to do this a lot.

Yeah that's what I was thinking I guess I just gave it a name.
Stupid question but next time I drag race I should never start from zero, I should always be on the break revving the engine until the light turns green?

Hmm this is all good stuff I never knew
I feel a little better, I am proud to be the first sof chick to post times!
Maybe I'll make the biggest improvement shaving time off.
