: Time Test
LancerGTS 06-22-2007, 06:40 PM got bored and decided to check the times my car could do
Quarter Mile 14.9 sec @ 90.8 mph
0-60 8.1 sec
i say not bad for a stock car at all!:afro:
Kansei 06-22-2007, 06:44 PM did you test it with a g-meter thing or at the track?
LancerGTS 06-22-2007, 07:01 PM my friend has a meter thing
Kooldino 06-22-2007, 07:37 PM $10 says you're not in the 14s. Hit the track and show us a slip!
LancerGTS 06-22-2007, 07:56 PM never been to a track it might just be my friends meter thing but thats what it said
Kooldino 06-23-2007, 04:22 AM So is there a track near you that you can go to?
LancerGTS 06-23-2007, 03:44 PM im sure there is ill ask around

Kooldino 06-24-2007, 01:28 AM Do it. Do it.
_Chris_ 09-28-2007, 10:27 AM I guess the meter was not accurate.
Kooldino 09-28-2007, 03:27 PM Yeah...no way should the GTS be running a 14 second quarter mile.
LancerGTS 09-29-2007, 07:25 AM Quarter Mile 18.23 sec @ 92 mph
0-60 9.01 sec
_Chris_ 09-29-2007, 10:14 AM Should be in the high 16s, low 17s.
LancerGTS 09-29-2007, 04:09 PM mines CVT but that was before i put my intake now im at i need to go to a track when i have the time.
Quarter Mile 16.42 sec @ 94 mph
0-60 8.03 sec
Kooldino 09-29-2007, 04:17 PM Quarter Mile 18.23 sec @ 92 mph
0-60 9.01 sec
18.2 @ 92? That makes zero sense. If you were running 92mph, you should be running 15s or so.
If you were running 18.2s...you should only be hitting high 70's in the MPH.
Whatever you're measuring your 1/4 mile with is way wrong.
Kooldino 09-29-2007, 04:18 PM mines CVT but that was before i put my intake now im at i need to go to a track when i have the time.
Quarter Mile 16.42 sec @ 94 mph
0-60 8.03 sec
All of this sounds about right with the exception of the 94mph.
Should be about 84mph.
soopah 10-03-2007, 06:42 AM Are these actual track slip times or GPS derived mumbo jumbo? Having never drag raced I might be interested in trying my stock Evo X at the Mission Raceway strip, but I'll have to put a few 1,000 km on it before I even think about doing that.

Should always wait til after the first oil change to push the car to its limits.

It was on a GPS / accelerometer. I can tell you with 100% certainty that it's far from accurate.
Trevor 11-01-2007, 09:17 PM I bought one of those gtech meters, it was a waste of money. The 1/4 mile is somewhat accurate in the elapsed time but way off for the trap speed. At the strip I have ran a 15.5@91 MPH without launching. I figured I could run a little lower with a good launch maybe a 15.3 or 15.4. I got the meter and a botched run was 15.7 and a good/perfect run was 15.2. The traps were at like 98 mph though. So the times for me weren't too far off but the traps were.
The one that said the Lancer ran a 14.X was def. off though. I would recommend nobody buy them because they are not very accurate and they tempt you to drive like a moron on public roads to try to get a good run. Just go to the track, its alot more fun.
_Chris_ 11-01-2007, 10:27 PM Gtech meters = garbage
RGory477 03-05-2008, 10:45 PM hahah when I first read 14.9 I was like HUH? Why can't mine do that stock:( lol
soopah 03-06-2008, 12:46 AM If you have a meter, like a GTech or an Escort G-Timer, it is better than a seat of the pants assessment of any mods you make, especially if you do not have access to a 4 wheel dyno. I have an Escort GT2 meter. The test by one of the car mags (I posted a thread about it on here previously) showed they are not too bad if calibrated properly, but there are more variables involved.
Definitely, if you want to post about your 0-60 or 1/4 mile times it should be from an actual drag strip, and show your scanned time slip, too!
UnctrldRage 03-06-2008, 03:47 AM Yeah my Sentra with the bolt on mods only does a 15.0 flat with Kumhos...I havent hit that since I changed tires....0-60 is in about the low 7s to high 6s range because of the automatic....Haven't been to the track in a while...>_>...
