Any Real World 1/4 Mile Traps?
 

**Disclaimer** Yes I know, these cars are not built for straight line performance.

Just curious if any members out here have been to the drag strip? If so, what E.T/MPH are you guys getting at stock or modded? If modded, please list your mods.


I would appreciate if we can keep this thread on point, and not about x car being faster for x amount of money etc.. Thanks!

I hit 128 in a standing mile, not sure if that helps

No way. That's all it hit in a mile?

Yeah i was still getting used to the car at the time, hit the rev limiter in 2,3rd gear so i probably could of hit like 131 or so bone stock everything

Only mod was an intake, everything else was stock including the tires rear running at 20 psi. Temperature was in the high 80s with 10-15mph wind pushing back the car(no excuse). 6speed MT

I forgot, is yours an auto?

Faster than a speeding Yaris.

MT :sigh:

No need to sigh, I don't have any real experience in the 1/4 mile either. A lot of it is just practice and knowing the car. The only car I ever took down the strip was at crappy Rock Falls in a 95 Civic EX with a non-intercooled Greddy turbo kit. I managed four runs and went from a 16.4 to a 15.1. We will have gather a bunch of 86's this summer and maybe head back up there for the battle of the slow-mobiles! We can compete against the SOHC all-motor hatches and 91 Integras with different colored body panels running no exhaust :)

I managed to run a 15.26 @ 93.93 MPH last September. Bone Stock.Temp was in the mid 80's.

Yeah Rock Falls was where I was at, the roads are crap and I kept hitting high 15s the whole day. I was actually thinking about going to Brainerd International Raceway this year, Ill go back to Rockfalls if we have a turbocharged twin representing us, haha.
