nice 1/8's
what's the average for a stock WRX?

[MagicHallucinations]

well, in the quarter my time would have been a 13.8 - 14.0......a stock wrx will do a 14.3 on average. i can't really say what they run in the 1/8th stock. there where some guys there that where modded and claming anywhere from 300 - 350 hp but i didn't see that looking @ their times. they all pulled 2.4 - 2.6 60's and 9.2 - 9.3 all day in the 1/8th.......

I thought that I would post mine up also. Now mind you this was the first time that I had ever even set foot on a race track in my life, so my times leave a lot to desire.

R/T-1.040
60'-1.846
330- 5.575
1/8- 8.663
MPH- 79.85
1000- 11.385
1/4- 13.705
MPH- 97.69
This was with a 5500k slip on the clutch and then holding on...I got a slight knock in second so that took a little time off because my engine management retards the timing when it detects knock, and I was running 14lbs of boost instead of the 17lbs that I was when it was cooler, if everything had been dialed in correctly I would of seen low low 13's...but still not bad for a first time out.

yea, you definitely could use some work on that reaction time not that it really makes any difference on your overall 1/4 mile time though. .5 R/T is ideal and it just takes lots of practice. Try launching on the last yellow light before the green and your R/T should drop significantly and then it just takes practice to get consistent .5 to .55 R/T's.
