Dragstrip for the first time

Hi there!

Went to the dragstrip yesterday and tested my (and the cars) ability to run the 1/4 mile for the very first time. Had a great time and must try it again some other time!

Results: 13,00 @ 110,6 mph (60´ 2.3 seconds) according to the slip (same results twice). Can post the slips tomorrow.

Bone stock with 19" multispoke AMG rims. How bad is that time, and what can I expect after a) tune only b) tune + LTH?

However, I had my performancebox with me and it said 13,25 @ 112,4 mph.
Shouldn´t they show the same result?

Your 60' times are definately bad, you should be in the 2.0 sec on any of the 3 driving mods. Your trap speed is not bad. Where did you raced? the East noth coast? what type of gas did you use?

I strongly believe that your car can run mid to high 12's based on your 13. flat and running a 2.3 sec 60'.

I also should say that it was on an air strip for the day converted into a drag strip so traction wasn´t the best... Gas 98 (euro) = 93 US?

I've heard people say that every tenth you can save on your 60' can shave up to twice that amount from your ET.

What was your 1/8 mile time and trap?

Typically yes and on 1/4 miles, no less.
