Went to Track. WOW!!!!!!!

[celica70]

I have a GT auto, its SOOOO SLOW, I ran a 17.8 I have injen short ram intake, my tires spin for a second. I only got to run once, i could probably get little better if i tired again.

never too late to trade in for GTS manual :)

I hope you didn't buy the GT auto w/ intentions of being a drag racer... You could always turbo it :)

[LudeSpeed]

The only reason you'd buy a GT auto is if you need a ride car, like I did. There's a good saying to live by if you want to be any type of racer. Never race your ride car, and never ride your race car. So I say take that intake off and sell it.. if you want to race buy a project/race car.

are you at elevation or something? granted, the GT Auto isn't a speed demon, but if you really tried you could take almost an entire second off that time...

[yakkosmurf]

Florida at elevation? He's just dealing with heat and humidity. Any other auto GT owners want to chime in here? I don't think you can take a full second off that time. An auto GTS would have a tough time taking a full second off that time.

i definitely think you could shave a full second off of that time, with the right weather and mods.

stacy menchavez got a 17.2 totally stock in nevada heat a few months back. so i bet high 16s are possible.

i'm definitely gonna run my car when it gets cooler up here. at the local races here, i run with a couple civics that have ran mid-high 16s when it was cold down here, and i'm usually right on them, with them only about 1/2 to 1 car length ahead of me.

btw: i have an auto gt with injen CAI and a trd exhaust. its slow yeah, but what do you really expect from a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder automatic with zero torque?

i got a 17.5 with a auto stock gt here in hot humid south FL, my launch was almost perfect, .59

i dunno, i ran 16.8 in average summertime heat/humidity in NY with a fatal injen CAI bog @ 5000-6000rpm (fatal on an auto GTS cuz of the gearing) without any real effort.

zooq ran 17.3 @ severe elevation. i don't think conditions get more adverse than that usually.

and the best time for an auto GT is still 16.7. for an auto GTS i think it's 16.6.

the R/T doesn't affect your time, the 60' does.

so i guess the humidity down there really does suck, hunh? i wonder if the short ram hurted him or helped him.

i believe that celiracer either ran a 16.6 or 16.8 i fergot, he went to the same track i did but on different days he has CAI rmm exhaust
