Yesterday I went with some friends to the San Antonio raceway to see what our cars could do. It was hot , 95 degrees and 40% humidity. I wonder what the car would have ran at colder temps and maybe with stock rubber. Well, I thought I would share some time slips and a couple pics of the car. Positive or negative comments are always welcomed.

The rims and red engine cover are hot. What type of rims are those?

I think the weather, track, etc. affected your times. Your miles-per-hour are real low, they should be 97-99 mph.

Did you brake-torque? Were your wheels spinning off the line? How did you have your transmission set (auto, sport, manual shift), and was your VSC on or off? I'm just currious to know the details.

very cool

you have a really nice Car ...props for taking ti to the track

I don't think the wheels spun at all off the line. I had it set to sport with the VSC off. I tried to brake torque to launch at about 2000-2500 rpm but I am new to launching automatics. Any reccomandations? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, you should have heard the tower guy when I staged. He said "... and on the Ancira lane we have a Lexus, hhmmm"

Thanks for sharing. It looks like your two runs were fairly comparable. Although your first run was better.

BTW- I really like the red engine cover.

Or how about a fat lexus almost beating a 89 Skyline GTS-T. He got 15.1.

thats pretty good your first time around....my first time i ran 14.6x's but in 70 degree weather, also on 18" rims... nice job!

I took my GS to the track a few weeks ago and my best was 14.8 at just under 96 mph trap.

My car is all stock . You should've gotten better times .

You could really improve on the 60ft times too. One way to do it is make sure that you hammer the gas fast......I mean lightning instant fast. It takes practice though because this GS is my first automatic so I wasn't so sure how to launch the damn thing properly.

Are the times on the left side of the two slips yours? It doesn't say so I'm guessing.

Thank you for posting these. I'd like to see more of them

Love that red engine cover. How did you do that?

Beautiful wheels too!

Excellent post

My times will improve if I put the stock wheels back on. What were your track conditions, btw?
