See...that just makes me sad...LOL.
My track is in Carolina, PR. The Name is Carolina Speedway and the date was 01/10/09. I don't know how to get the track info though so I don't know the altitude and what not. PR is normally very humid as it is a tropical island but yesterday wasn't too bad.
As for the wheels...they are stock.
My previous car was a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP that bone stock ran exactly the same 15.0@92mph. The only difference is that with less than $1000 I ran 13.4@102mph...LOL. After that I added a nice turbo ( everything else stock ) and ran 12.6@111mph. Forced induction FTW!

I also came from the GM W-Body world. 98 Regal GS. I put literally 100 dollars into it (smaller S/C pulley, homemade intake, homemade U-bend Delete) and it ran a 14.3 on crap toyo grandpa tires. It had 115k on it and I think I paid like $5,500 for it. The reason I got a G was I wanted the same power, RWD, black leather, Nav and a 6mt.

The only other stip is hours away from me so that's not something that's going to happen soon. I will try to hold it in 3rd though and try different launching techniques next time. I just installed the test pipes so lets see what happens...maybe this week.
Thanks guys!
