Race from a dig and see how "close" it is.

Maybe you are a superb driver, and all the drivers out here suck, but every newer Civic SI I have seen at the 1/8th and 1/4th suck nuts.

Last time Socaliallstar and myself were out at the 1/8th, we saw a couple running 10.5-11's all night. My truck was running 9.5s which is a horrible time for it BTW. How is it gonig to catch up after being a full second behind unless it's trapping a hell of a lot higher than we are, which they weren't.

yup we saw 2 of them and neither broke mids 10's and one was an 11 i think. Then there was the S2000, think he ran a 9.5 or something close to it.

hehe, pre '05 the V6 Mustangs (chick-stangs) made Jesus cry. Although at a local 1/8th mile track I watched an 18ish y/o girl whoop up on some kids with hers with their similar cars. She was out there a lot and a decent driver. Brought a tear to my eye seeing kids do it the right way.

lol. s2000's should run the 1/8th in 9 flat.

I can't help you were running bad drivers.

Also, i'm sure anyone in here can tell you, launching a fwd car is not the easiest thing to do correctly.

All you've told me is that those guys were running 16's. Which is ****ing pathetic.

For what it's worth, I can launch my little Cobalt 5spd faster and easier than I can launch the T. I know how to slip the clutch just right and get just a hair of wheel spin and power shift the hell out of it. When I race my girl in the T, I get a good jump on her 1st, 2nd gear. When I hit 3rd, she's at my side and starting to pull away. Launching a rwd car, especially one with a lot of torque and limited traction is a total PITA.

You have weight transfer on your side for a rwd launch. If you're having issues it's in your setup.

Mostly peglegging?

Along with most Honda Drivers.

Pegleg is half the problem w/the T. If the car/truck has good sticky tires then yes it's easier to an extent to get out of the hole quicker than fwd. But from my 2 vehicles, I can launch the hell out of the Cobalt much easier than my T.
