ya thanx man if i ran by myself all night i would have def been able to correct my launch in time and got my 13.. oh well next time, i'm def goin next aturday ianyone is interested, then i start modding seriously, springs will be on their way shortly!!!!:thumbsup:

[Mystic1199]

just out of curiostiy , why would u bring passengers in the car with you if u are trying to run 13's and need all the help u can get ?

[Adam]

cause i drove all the way up there just w/ my girl and she wanted to go with me,and iwanted her to go too, then after the 3rd run i was like get out i want to try and get some low times, and she was cool with it, i didn't want to make her sit there by herself, so i got 3 quick runs in after that!!! got better every time!!! so next time i will get alot of runs in just myself and practice my launch, and get my 13's:thumbsup:

[540Malibu]

and the times for the 6 runs were?

[MikeOD]

Springs are gonna make it go faster?

[tnthub]

If you can get your sixty foot times down where they should be you can hit mid 13's easily.

No, but they can make it go quicker.

[MikeOD]

Yeah, but it's a street car...the springs should be picked with street driving in mind, not launching...thats why I'm more concerned with faster than quicker.

what you mean messed up? they were pretty similar to the times in the left lane, and i seemed to hook better in the right lane

thanx dude, any diff launch technique should i use on sat w/ better prep?? i want at least a 2.1... i think w/a low 2.2 or 2.1 i will def hit my 13...anyone wanna come?

[03COBRABOY]

when i went sat in my car...just idle-1000rpm out the hole...slip the clutch out moderatly slow then hammer it...i only lost traction a couple ttimes and i had it hammered....im sure u could push it good...

[igotasweetride]

adam: why you selling the dsm? im going through the want ads to check the ad i put in there for tim's car to make sure its right and i search the rest to find your dsm?

[Adam]

cause i dont want it anymore, just not what i'm into anymore, tired of all the problems, so i'm fixing it up and sellin it.. got this kid gonna give me 5500 casha nd an 02 r6 chromed out for my gsx.. i'll take that seein how i bought it for 8 grand 2 years ago and u usually dont get your money back fromm ods!! i'll take the deal and i've always wanted a bike, bike and a cobra.. good enough for me:thumbsup:

[Adam]

i guess i been launching all wrong then huh, i usually rev up to about 2200 or so ant try and slip the clutch out as best i can and as soon as it feels like its hookin up i floor it!!!

That isn’t even launching… You need to do 5000rpm and then VERY QUICK (almost side-stepping it) clutch release!!! 2200rpms is just a leisurely drive!

A very average AWD DSM launch is usually in the 1.7-1.8 range. A bad launch would be in the 1.9-2.0 range. Anything above 2.1 in an AWD is not even trying…

The good news is that with a decent launch (1.8 sec), your trap speeds are good for mid 13’s and with a VERY good lunch (1.6-1.7 sec), can give you low 13s!!!

Do you still have a restrictor in your clutch line?

u might be thinkin he went up in his DSM. he's talkin about his Cobra here, and i dont know of too many RWD V8s that like being launched at 5000rpm w/out some suspension work and sticky tires.:thumbsup:

[GreenMachine]

>u might be thinkin he went up in his DSM.

Gee, I wonder where I got that idea? :) Nothing in this post suggests otherwise….

>he's talkin about his Cobra here


…in that case, never mind. :eh:
