I do the 1/4 mile whenever I can, with my g-tech comp ss. Even if some say it isn't accurate I would figure it's at least consistent. With everything bone stock and crappy tires I was running 14.4's consistently. About a week ago I Put on a Stromung exhaust (sounds amazing) , the Shark Injector, Cone filter, the fan delete, and got new tires. Guess What! Still running 14.4's! Do I **** that bad at driving? I would say no just because I thought was doing pretty good for the car being stock. Was I wrong to think that this setup would get me into the 13's ? All I want to do is run a 13.99999. My 0-60 times went from 6.0 to 5.4 and still no change on the 1/4 mile. Can someone out there teach me how to drive! I've tried launching every which way possible too.........:banghead: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

Are you on completely flat ground? BTW, what's the trap speed? -
To be exact it was a 14.38 @ 98.5Comment

u MPH sounds slightly low.. but hell.. i put down a 13.98 at 98.9... so u should definitly have a lower time.. how did ur mphs compare from before? also what year of car and auto/5 speed....but yeah the time sounds a bit high
ps - my run was stock.. so that mph is still alittle wierd..Comment

It's a 98 5 speed, clutch seems fine and all. MPH is about the same as before. If I just do the 0-60 I've gotten anywhere from a 5.2 to 5.8. When I run the 1/4 mile I seem to have around 5.8 though. So do I just **** or what? :nixweiss:Comment

Oh yeah and I got my best 0-60 with what I would say was a slightly week take off. Rev to about 2000 and then mash the gas and feather out the cluth. Only got a slight chirp out of the tires. Does this seem to be the best way to launch for anyone else?Comment

well hate to tell ya this but ive gotten that time with my stock coupe....14.5 @ 97....so i think you should be able to do betterComment

u always want to slip the clutch.. thats the best way to launch.. maybe alittle rough on the clutch.. but its the best as far as dragging good times.. i would take it to a real track.. maybe the little box u got isn't doing the job right..Comment

Well I've gotten a 14.40 with it bone stock, that's my point. I would hate to think these mods are bogus. I'm almost hoping that the g-tech sucks but on the contrary I had the older g-tech in my cavalier and at the track it was dead nuts on with my track times.Comment

To add to the list of mods I am CDV Free. Shifts feel lightning fast . Does anyone know what their 0-60 is?Comment

All I can think is that the tires are the culprits. I wouldn't expect all that much from those mods, but I would think you would get a couple of tenths at least. G Tech is probably not to blame.Comment

Your trap speed seems a little low for a modded M3. I know the G-tech actually displays higher traps than the actual track because it's measured differently. I'm still calling that the ground isn't prefectly flat. Run both directions and average the results. On my stock M3 with the G-tech I was able to get 14.0 @ 99 MPH with the clutch slipping slightly between shifts.Comment

I did my best with some OLD Michelin PS's and dropped the hammer at 3500 RPM. I have recently taken 100lbs off the car so I am guessing I may be able to break 14 with my vert. See the new thread on weight loss.Comment

I feel the same ... best ive done is [email protected]
I love the Euro Spec 3.2 :bow:
:chair: with that mph u should have a much MUCH better time.. :chair: try it again though.. with that MPH u can doo it! low 13s...
greg.. what speeds did ur cavy run? who knows.. maybe the gtech is accurate to a point and u hit it :nixweiss:Comment
