Okay so i went out to the friday night drag races at the local track, I told myself that i would just do a pass for fun. All my friends are like dude just do it all the cars are crap that go, so I get there thinking i am goign to win, okay so i go through tech inspection and pass, its an audi it going to pass lol. Then i get in line, Theres a bunch of crappy neons and some nice evos. so I think i get in to the slow line cause i wanted to sandbag a little. i pull up to a 06 GTO 6.0l, I look at him and i am like OMFG I am going to die so i try to back into a different line and there is a car behind me allready so i am stuck. We get up to the line he doeshis burnout, I'm AWD i just sit until he's done. time for staging. keep in mind i have never done this before. he's lines up in like 2sec and i'm there adjusting a bit, so thelights start counting down, red, yellow, and when the second yellow light comes on i just realize that i have it in reverse from staging, so i'm like **** by the time i put it in first the light turns green, the GTO takes off, then i do by the time i was done, i had a 15.9sec 1/4 mileand he had a 13.2 1/4 mile. I wanted to cry LOL. and my friend said shitty car go to the track on fridays, thats the last time i am going to listen to him.

 

Hahah, funny story man. lol @ having in reverse, classic.

Its really random man, yeah POS's are there that run 16s+.. but not always.

Sucks you had to face a GTO[] Doomed!

 

the funny thing was i had a 1.6 sec reaction time cause of the reverse thing, so i would have had ahigh 14 sec1/4 mile which is not bad

 

^ Nope, your ET doesn't start until your car moves. Your RT doesn't effect your ET.........

 

Damn and i thought i would have done better

 

+1..... but realize, you have a slow 2.8 with alot of weight(body kit and wheels)lol

 

lol! funny.... at least you didn't take off from the line and go backward...lol!

 

hahah plus the gto is worked ive seen numerous ones at the track running 14.1 sooo i would have smoked one b4 with my s4 stage 2 befor my turbos blew but now im getting k04's sooo i wont bother with em hahahah

 

my first time running at the track i had to run against a '89 s-10 with a 383 stroker. i just said f*** it and didnt run. just sat there at the light and waited. no way was i going to get smoked. it was test and tune so it didnt matter

 

My friends GTO went 13.40@106mph bone stock with his 300+ lb *** driving it on a 2.3 sec 60 ft. time. If he had some traction and let me drive it(I weight 170-175) the car could have went 12.70-12.80 as is with drag radials (he had stock 18" tires on it). It was an 06 6-speed 6.0L 400hp GTO. Still pretty impressive for that heavy car w/ independent rear suspension (which is better for road racing and handling than it is for drag racing, a solid rear axle is ideal for drag racing).

And your reaction time is the time it takes from the green light to come on until you actually move your car. I always launch when the last yellow light comes on beacause the lights at .5 sec apart so by the time you move you get a sweet reaction time. A .500 reaction time is dead on perfect since the lights are in .5 second increments. What was your 60 ft. time?

15.9 isn't bad for a 12v, I thought they were a lot slower than that. I swear my old 12v 5-speed was probably a 17.2 car.

I wouldn't care if I lined up against a rail car, I'd give it my all to see what I could do (unless you are trying to sandbag for money racing).
