My shitty 1/4 mile time!
man!!! urgh! i went to the local drag strip this weekend hoping to clock at least a low 14 sec pass. well i threw my two falken azenis in the front to get some better traction but that didnt work! my best time was a 15.9 at 94mph! i was ------- sliding though first and second like you wouldnt beleive!!! seriously, it was pathetic how much traction i got!! i couldnt hook up for ----!! i'm ------- mad!!! i need some ------- slicks man!!!!!! i was hitting the limiter, let off the gas, and still spinning and bouncing to redline! i'm disappointed! i know my car can clock a low 14 or high 13 for being in a high elevated area on stock motor! i raced an srt-4 with a stage 1 upgrade the other day, he said his best times where between a 14.4-13.9 in the 1/4. he got me off the launch cuz i was just ------- spinning but then i ------- pulled hard on him up top! i know i can get better times! on the street i ---- up srt's, new gt mustangs, gst's, gti's and all those other decent cars. wtf? i just needed to release some steam! anyone got slicks for sale!?!??

Re:My shitty 1/4 mile time!
Good thing about my rex.. for some reason I don't build boost through first gear so I launch without loosing any traction and when I hit second, it just flies (tire spin up to redline), but it shoots like a mug, and I'm running exactly 100mph in the 1/4 mile on street tires.... this was a 14.1 but I KNOW 100mph is good for high to even mid 13's.
I'm a little easy on it now because my motor mounts are turning to jelly

Re:My shitty 1/4 mile time!
you guys really help 
i know with 94mph i should be at least running low 14's or so but i just couldnt beleive i couldnt get traction with the azenis at like 17psi of air! i was even launching at like 2500-3000 but then boost would hit and it was over! dont get me wrong...i love my turbo crx and i just ------- pulls at 9psi with a T3 but i didnt know i would have this bad of tractions problems especially at the track! i dunno but i'm on the lookout for some slicks! any good places to buy for cheap?

Mabey a nice homemade dual stage boost controler liks 6psi in first and second and then 9psi after that. the azenis should grip well at 17 psi. slicks would be good but i deffently would want a better time on street tires if its a daily driver.

Re:My shitty 1/4 mile time!
yeah i know, next week i might go try again 
and see what happens. i'll try heating the tires up more and launching different. it is my daily driver but on the street i really dont race too often and usually i dont like to launch much since i do spin regardless... but on the roll...its on!
