Default Ran my 1/4 mile today!

Hi all. I ran my 1/4 mile today at Sacramento, CA Raceway...sorry to disappoint you guys but my best run was 15.201 with my 07 SI Sedan. The only mod I have on the car is an Injen CAI. My lack of researching lead me to a bracket racing event in which I thought was going to be a test and tune day, so I only got two runs...the second run was sh*tty cause my car had no traction first gear with a 4.5k launch. My first launch was at 3.5k and I had wheel hop but it did grab...Hopefully the next time I go to the track it'll be a test and tune day so I can really see what my car can do...I feel that it does have the potential to hit high 14s. I was gonna weigh my car but I got lazy and left. I'll post up my time slips for you guys next time I get online. Just thought I'd share with you guys what a Sedan can do. Also I did not want to beat up my tranny, powershifting.

not too bad. i have injen cai and greddy evo2 exhaust and i got it to a 14.9. that is the best i can get it because my 2nd gear is crap. u can easily hit high to mid 14's with better tires and getting the launch down. are u dumping the clutch or feathering it? power shifting?

you're right. if u had more runs, you'd definitely be in the 14s. i ran mine. first run was 15.7 and it just got faster and faster. 10 runs or so later, i got it to 14.4 @ 96.76mph. good luck

Why are you so stunned that it's a sedan?

Other than a minuscule amount of added weight, the sedan might actually handle better than a coupe (not much to do with the 1/4 mile, i know) and it runs about the same speed as a coupe as well.

The only way a sedan would outhandle a coupe is if the coupe driver is too afraid to see what the car is really capable of handling wise. I just out cornered a rally red Si a few nights ago doin about 65mph on a 30mph turn.

But honestly I just think he was too afraid to test the car that much. I on the other hand like to know where the limits of my car stand.

Not essentially true. I was reading that the sedan's suspension was specifically tuned to make up for it being a 4 door, and because of it, it might out handle a 2 door. I guess you would need to run two of them to really compare though.

Maybe....but it may not have been enough to out-do the 2-door. But your point is well taken.

If you pulled on him when driving HIS sedan then that means it WAS the driver.

Lol.. As RICO_ pointed out above, it WAS the driver. Do you really think 60 lbs is the difference between pulling 2 cars on someone? Lets be somewhat realistic here man

i think what he was saying is that he pulled 2 cars in the coupe, and 1.5 cars in the sedan, therefor the sedan is .5 cars slower. in a stupid mathematical way, but you get what i am saying.

oops! hahaha what i meant was that he pulled on me about 1.5 car when he was driving my coupe and i drove his 4 dr. instead of him being pulled on by me by 2 cars...do you guys get it?

1st race - me driving my coupe him driving his 4 dr. i won by 2 cars.
2nd race - me driving his 4dr and him driving my coupe. he won by 1.5 cars.

you get it? hahaha. my baddd.

I'm guessing that the sedan was newer than the coupe? (as in, had less mileage and/or not fully broken in yet) That could be a difference. The coupe is not that much lighter than the sedan.

maybe his 4 door is just beat.

65 pounds doesnt give you 2 cars.
who came up with how fast cars are by lengths anyway.

naw the sedan was bought around the same time i got mine. we have about the same mileage on both cars. around 7k at the time....but thats what i figured too...65 lbs..that doesnt make a difference...i had my friend in the passenger...and then my cousin had my other cousin in the passenger..but they are both very light..so i'd figure this would be a really close race...but i was surprised.

and when i jumped in the sedan...i noticed that it was a wayyy different feel than my coupe. everything was soo much different imo. the clutch, the shifter, the seat. it felt "underpowered" and i said "damn this **** feels weird" and my cousin goes "oh i know right, i was just about to say that." he says my car feels more "aggressive, more powerful" so i dont know.
