nope, never done my car at a track, any of them, and never will. That is rediculous: "yeah, it does 14 seconds at the track, but only 14.8 seconds on regular roads because of "traction issues". LMAO lol   Further, the ooooo drag radials & low pressure tires is also rediculous. wtf why does the track have to incur the expense of making your car faster because tire tech is seeminly crappy. Design a better tire that has good traction at track w/o lowering tire pressure, yet can run no problems on regular roads. Don't say it can't be lol, look at tire tech the past 50 years... when's the last time you saw an ad in mags saying "our tires don't blowout!" from the 50's. Don't blame the track lol. |

However, I *might* make exceptions for specifically built drag cars, as that is what they are meant to run, is drags. |

If you remove power from the pressure control solenoid in the transmission, you achieve the firmest shifts possible without a mechanical shift kit. |

i have a car simulator software on my pc. it shows 1000 RPM to be the best for launch for the classic, 0-60, 1/4 mile, 0-100, 0-top speed. just power brake it to 1000 RPM anything more is wasting time and damaging stuff.

Added Collins' time. I don't know if that was your best or not, I had to pull it out of the meet thread. If not, let me know what it was, and what other performance mods you might have.

just to make a correction to the above post & time. Randy T's 1997 non autobahn aurora was not stock but rather had a cone filter inside of the fender well & he was running 110 octane race gas.

No, Lance, it was completely stock besides the race fuel. The cold air intake was in my Autobahn.

Below are my results on LPG  |

Post by Deleted on Mar 26, 2011 13:04:01 GMT -6
9.7 second 0-60? Please tell me there is something way off with that number. An aurora should run well under 8.5 seconds. |

I think that this result is the use of LPG instead of gasoline. LPG = Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

This definately isn't exact but I pulled a 14.89 in the 1/4 mile on my android gtech app on my cellphone, I put in the car model and the weight at 4150 with me. I also ran a 15.57 when I was only doing like 2/3 throttle because of traffic. I can't wait until I get the cord that plugs from my phones mini usb into the OBD2 diagnostic port so it will give you real time monitoring info on every sensor, temps, gas mpg and exact 0-60, 0-100, 1/8th miles, 1/4 miles, 100-0, 60-0 & handling G's and all 99% accurate because it's synchronized with your cars PCM via the OBD2 port.
Oh BTW my car is a 1997 Aurora Classis (non autobahn) but has a replaced motor/transaxle with only about 70k miles on it or less on them so.

When you do the same down an actual dragstrip, post it up and we'll add it.  |
