Well, he's also running 9s in the 1/4.

This is how you 60.

I know it's a tiny picture. .896 and .890.

Looks like I have to pick up some power before the track opens back up in FEB.

 

[Eric Smit]

I need to pick up some tires. ;P

Yeah your 60ft is garbage. Car definitely has better passes in it.

I'd suggest not rolling through the water box and doing a burnout on street tires. That's not helping any at all.

 

[Eric Smit]

made me feel better, and the water box was dry. ;P

I did try without a burnout, if you'll call what the Sonic will do a burnout, and it was essentially identical.

[Eric Smit]

but, I will cheerfully take any tips you have to give.

an one last note; anyone curious to what a stock 2013 Ford Taurus SHO's best time would be?

13.88 is the answer.

The launch in the Sonic is an issue. I swear I've gotten some of my best launches on the street when I was trying to take off smoothly from a green light.

What causes the bog when we try to holeshot at 3,000 rpm?
Is it the ECU?
It either falls on its face or it hops so bad that you're forced to throttle back.
I'd like to know Stratton's 60' time on his mid 14 run.

Great progress Smit. I was worried for a moment that you weren't going to improve your time. And after the additional mods, that would have been 'fruckstrating'.

Not bad. Auto or mt?

vvvvv

Well I have the pedders coilovers so stiffening the rear all the way helps a ton. I also have Hankook ventus v12 tires. ABS fuse pulled 25psi in tires. I hold it at 4000 and slide the clutch out as i floor it. Had like a 2.08 60' I believe. With stock tires I could launch the same way but at 3000 rpm. Mine goes faster if it spins just a bit coming out.

Preloaded and Eric you guys definitely have solid 14 second passes in each of your cars. The 60ft is key, it's gotta come down and then you're golden.

Based on Eric's time slip with a 2.4. 60ft I'd say he has at least a 14.5 in his car.

 

[rdss]

Eric is golden... Like a shower! Some drag radials or slicks would definately get them into the 14's easily but we might start finding weak spots in the drive train once the car starts to hook up correctly.

 

[Eric Smit]

I didn't pull my ABS fuse either, just pushed and held the button. Just thought it was interesting.

I think the cold might have had an effect. It was mid 40s last night.

I think I'll be able to get better. Just need to keep going.
