Went to a local track the other night, low 70deg temps in late June are rare here lol. Was a good night, had some 10.5 outlaw cars out and it was slow so they prepped and dragged the track a few times here and there. Only a 1000' track tho....

60': 2.202
330': 6.176
1/8th: 9.498 @ 74.88mph
1000': 12.143 @ 86.74mph

Lowered the stock Michilen's to 28psi, only "power mods" are an aFe drop in air filter, muffler delete and Perrin lightweight crank pulley. Other than that... I've got Hotchkis springs and SPC lower control arms with the rear camber at about -.1 deg (almost straight up, aka not great for cornering but good for tire wear and straight line stuff). The 12.14 was with a cooled off car and warmed up slightly (below normal op temp at start), ran 12.4xx all night with a heat soaked engine tho.

So I went to the drag strip tonight. I couldn't have picked a worse night to go, 84 degrees and 100% humidity.

I only got 5 runs in. I was having problems on my first run getting traction and spun 1st and 2nd gear. After that I got better launches.

My best was a 14.40 at 97.41 mph.

(Frustrating?) side note: This electric family car with a curb weight of 4,670 lbs got 12.37 @ 110.84 mph (stock configuration).

thats not surprising considering the power it makes

Ummm. How much does that cost again?

With 240 hp our cars would already have the same weight to power ratio.

I'm glad people are taking their BRZ's to the track. Straight line car, or not, it has so much potential to be quick. Light weight, decent gearing, RWD, and a motor that seems to hold up well to starter F/I kits.

Has anybody done a pass with a non-stock clutch/flywheel? Maybe an FX300 kit? I'm throwing in that setup, and an SRT headerback, and am interested to see what it'll pick up off the line.

with the right tires and 300 whp these cars could easily get into the 12s. its cool to see them hit 13s on the stock tires.

Well in a few weeks I'll be heading to the track again with 26" drag radials and 120 more whp. Should be exciting, I'm taking bets on what will break first tranny, diff or axles lol

I got money on the axle breaking.

I wish someone made aftermarket replacements for spares lol

crawford performance is running upgraded axles on there turbo car i believe.

1/4 Mile times
 

Yeah I was looking more for stock replacements rather that $1000 dss upgrades

Last time I went to the track was may 1st
Englishtown raceway park
