Hey guys,
I just took my 99' GSR to the drag strip the other night, ran it a few times, and managed to get a 16.9 for my best 1/4 mile. Only mods are cold air intake and exhaust. It has 155k on the original engine, and was taken extremely good care of before i bought it a few months back. Truthfully, for the mileage this teggy has on it, this car runs terrifically.
Anyways, afterwards i looked up some other stock GSR 1/4 times, and they're all getting below 15's at least, some 14's, with lower elevation, and some with absolutely no mods. I believe I got a decent launch, and shifted at about 8k rpm's. I live up in CO, so elevation is pretty high up here (5280), and this was my first time at the track, so obviously there's some room for improvement.
My question to you guys is: how much do you think the elevation+the miles on the engine affect the time? Here's a vid of my best time, i apologize for the tricky angle.
Any tips are appreciated!
