Thanks Bobby...I knew you would appreciate that! I finally joined ya Baby!

 

Whoa! That's a hell of a good time for a 5at. Gives me hope.

 

Thanks Man...been at this since 03 with my Sedan that hit a wall at $&$^$* 14.00 at 100.7+...but the Coupe has saved my soul!!! That's three present vehicles in the 13s now!

 

dam.. good time.. i have a 05 AT coupe also.. something to shoot for..

 

good times man

 

Thanks guys...this was a long time coming...a lot of work to get here, and well worth every second at this point. Ha ha! Good luck!!

 

Congrats Boss. It's amazing just how much conditions impact performance. You dropped .3 seconds and gained 2mph, correct?

Did you do anything different this go around?

 

Gives me hope too, I'd be happy with that time on a my daily driver.

 

Right now Im wishing I had the AT instead of the 6MT...

maybe that will change when I learn to launch this thing right!

I would be smiling for days if I ran that time!!

 

Congrats man. It's quite a feeling isn't it? And quite an accomplishment as well.

I hope this helps to put to rest all of the "6mts are sooooo much faster than 5ats" bullshi.

What are your next plans?

 

Dude, I just realized you picked up 23.5mph in the last 1/8th. That's phenomenal, especially for an automatic.

I wonder if that's due to the combination of mrev and crawford plenums.

 

Thanks All...Yeah, I am still glowing about this run! I had tears of joy in my eyes when I got the slip...literally...after running 14.00 at over 100 4 times in my 03.5 5AT Sedan with the same mods minus the MREV+ and Stillen Cat Back...I was just so determined to break into the 13s.

Dave...I just posted what I did for my launch...which was nothing special at all...just do a search of my posts and you can find it in the other 5AT launch thread you have a lot of posts in. I would say the biggest thing...short version was...that I had no time to over think it...I did a very controlled burn out...IE, revved it to only 2500-3000 RPMS so as to not over heat the tranny...I also had to pull over on the way to the track b/c the car had so much power in the cold weather that w/the Nittos on I was losing all power to the wheel b/c the $*&*$ VDC was kicking on whenever I hit the gas...so I pulled the VDC fuse and that solved that...but I launched right off idle.

Yes, my previous best in this car...although it was 84F outside...was 14.24 at 100.82 I believe...so yeah...I knocked off...rounded...4/10ths and gained 2 mph...which is insane...that's like getting a small shot of NOS running through the car!!!

I also think the motor...at just over 8K on the odometer...is a lot more into the VQ sweet spot now!

 

Very nice. Does this car have more or less options than your sedan(i.e nav, rear spoiler, and such)? I have hope that you(or anyone with the same mods) could possibly do even better once everything is even more fine tuned and even with 1/4th of the gas tank full if it already wasn't.
