i was at the track on friday and i dont knwo why but i beat a turbo overhead valve sunfire by half a second i have know idea as to why though he should have walked all over me should he not i have cai header and racing clutch he has custom stuff with apparntly 10 psi and his is 5 speed i ran a 16.3 at 82mph he had a 16.7 at 92 how does that work
driver ability plays into it. traction etc
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
Sounds like driver error to me....

I would say definately driver ability. I ran a 16.75 in my N/A 96 2.2 5 speed in limp in mode, before I got my 2.5" exhaust on.
you at a high elevation? those times are pretty bad for both cars

agreed, and more than likely he missed a gear or spun down the track...

driver error... I beat a Z06 once

Driver error? I'd say utter driver incompetence lol... PJ ran 16.7's with what, an intake and an upper motor mount insert back when he still had an OHV?

Actually it sounds about right. Auto 2.4's run like crap at the track 16.4-16.7 stock is about right. 2.2 OHV usually run 18's stock.
FU Tuning
kind of OT but
i saw a youtube video of a pretty fast mustang.. the guy got yelled at for running 10s and not having a proper cage he was threatened to be 'thrown out of the track for the rest of the season"
so the next pass the guy eased thru the beams on the green light to start his clock... waited about 3 or 4 seconds then took off....
14.6 @ 132mph lmao
i found out what it was he was still doing tuning and th car was knocking really really bad cuz thier timing was way off i saw him at the track yesterday and he was runnin mid 14s an spinning through the 60 ft mark so that explains what happened
He's going pretty good for an LN2 then.......

Ha ha ha..... that's pretty funny.... just imagine showing people that timeslip without explaining it.
kinda like a 14.5 at 108.92 in a Cavalier. Now i do have to admit that the 14.6 at 132 is a lot better.
out of curiosity, what would a 2.4 5spd (isuzu) run in the 1/4? i' never raced my car, but i'd be curious what to expect.
Assuming your profile is correct.... with some practice.... you should be able to pull a mid 15 out of it..... Although don't be surprised if you go to the strip for the first time and run a high 16 on your first pass.... it takes practice...
yuupprofile is correct that's a good baseline/goal for e to work towards for sure!
ultimately, my goal is 14.99 down the road, fingers crossed of course!
