Maiden voyage down the track tonight. temp was in the low 50's high 40's.
air was nice. Only good run was 12.36 @ 115.93. 60' time was a 1.99 this was with regular continentals. Not bad.. Car is 100% stock.

 

nice. with decent tires you'll easily drop your 60' and et even more.

 

Nice run and good time , did you have traction control on or off? did you build the rev's up?

 

Good job!

 

Nice E/T
If i'm not mistaken, aren't some of quickest tracks in NJ?

 

No, some of the quickest cars and drivers are in NJ.

But you are correct, Atco and E-town produce some of the best runs.

 

Nice run, especially for your first time.

I am willing to bet that you killed your launch by running with tire pressure that was too high and/or not being patient with your launch. If you practice your launches and learn to let the idle torque launch you out of the hole, you will shave 2/10's off that time easily.

Again, nice job.

 

G'day, just recently purchased 05 E55, love the car. Whats the best way to get the beast off the line on the strip!

 

Don't want to hijack the thread, so here is the link to my post on how I launch:

Thanks for that!!!

 

what do you mean by that statment as i do not understand it well.
Do you mean exalirator down to the floor and let the car work it out?
also what psi or bar should i be runing in a cls for streets?

 

The car sat and cooled down for about 2 hours.
I pulled around the water the best i could. did a moderate burnout.
Traction Control off left easy about 800 rpms. car spun alittle and eased into it. it pulled hard so it was hookin. But need drag radials.. (1.99 60 ft time.)
Tire pressure 28 in rear. 34 in front.

 

LOL....yep yep

 

Good job man!

 

115 is a very nice trap speed.. for stock.

I wish my car would run 115 here in So Cal.. even with a bigger pulley and larger IC.
