[LancerGTS]

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]

did you test it with a g-meter thing or at the track?

 

[LancerGTS]

my friend has a meter thing

 

[Kooldino]

$10 says you're not in the 14s. Hit the track and show us a slip!

 

[LancerGTS]

never been to a track it might just be my friends meter thing but thats what it said

 

[Kooldino]

So is there a track near you that you can go to?

 

[LancerGTS]

im sure there is ill ask around

 

[Mr. Win]

Orlando speed world aka "Spinworld"

 

[Kooldino]

Do it. Do it.

 

[_Chris_]

I guess the meter was not accurate.

 

[Kooldino]

Yeah...no way should the GTS be running a 14 second quarter mile.

 

[LancerGTS]

Quarter Mile 18.23 sec @ 92 mph
0-60 9.01 sec

 

[_Chris_]

Should be in the high 16s, low 17s.

 

[LancerGTS]

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]

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.

All of this sounds about right with the exception of the 94mph.

Should be about 84mph.

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.

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 [email protected] 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.
