Does this seem right?
I decided to goto the track tonight.
I did 3 or 4 runs and my best was a 16.2 @82. My runs were 16.2, 16.4, 16.9 and 16.3
I wasn't expecting 14's but I was hoping to dip into the 15's.
I was running my body kit, stock 16's, carbon hood, tanable exhaust and SRT Intake.
Are these cars really that slow in the qtr?

I don't think our cars dip into the 16's. I believe you just have a crap load of stereo components and other stuff slowing you down. Also, have some sticky tires and you'll hook up better.
Also, don't forget your car is 7 years old! Your car is beautiful but just make sure ALSO that all maintenence is in tip top shape. Before you went to the track I would have cleaned the MAF sensor, cleaned your air intake filter, re-set the ECU and used some octane booster on a 1/4 tank of premium. This should help a lot! Thanks for sharing though.

As far as my audio, I don't have anything that could really weigh me down. If I had to weigh it I bet i have 50-70 lbs worth of audio equipment.

I can't remember my 60' off hand. I'll post the slip when I get it out of my car later. I know these cars weigh a lot, I just didn't think it was that much. And yeah, I have a crappy turbo sitting in my garage right now that I think I'm going to throw on for now.

I don't have the slip from my first run. but I have 2, 3 and 4.
2nd. 3rd 4th
Reaction- .6785 .5617 .3980
60'- 2.6840 2.4642 2.9334 (spun)
1/8th- 10.62 10.53 11.19
1/4- 16.28 16.22 16.92
1/4 Mph- 86.51 86.46 86.14
My 4th run was terrible. I spun the first 5-8' which killed me. I didn't heat my tires up enough in the box. So my best run was 16.22 @ 86.46.

Wow! just as i thought, bad 60' I bet if you could get that down to 2.1 you'll be in the 15's for sure. But pretty sure you'll have to run some kind of semi slick or slicks to get that good of a 60. Stock we don't have enough grunt to make up time after that point on. I was getting 2.5-2.6 60's also and if i would brake launch at a higher rpm..= no traction at all. Where were you launching it at?
