Took the STi to PMI (1/4 mile 4900ft elevation)

Scuba_Steve · 06-07-2003, 01:11 PM

I'll let the timeslip do all the talking

Don't know why the dates screwed up, typical PMI for ya. I'm P281

. Again, this is a BONE STOCK 2004 Impreza WRX STi. Needless to say I am very pleased with this car.

Jumping all over that light huh?

Nice run......what RPM were you letting her out at? I assume you just eased the clutch out?

JJ · 06-07-2003, 07:45 PM

CONGRATS!

Any of you all out there realise that this is at altitude (~5000 Feet??)

WOW!!

You running 91 octane, or did you put some juice in her?

91, next time I'll try 93 and see if that makes differance. If I go to Bandimere (5800ft) I'll try some 104 for the hell of it

Remember the Subaru ECU requires about 40 miles to adjust to race gas. So drive it after you put it in. I made this mistake once.

BHODGES3 · 06-09-2003, 11:23 AM

How exactly do I go about reading that slip? Anyone care to do a breakdown please?

Hmm, well the light was green for .028 seconds before I left the line (perfect is .000 so I was very close). Then it took me 1.868 seconds to go from 0-60 feet. 5.513 seconds 0-330 feet. 8.590 seconds to hit an 1/8 mile. 11.258 seconds to go 0-1000 feet and 13.530 seconds to go 0-1320 feet (1/4 mile). When I finished the 1/4 mile I was going 99.11 miles per hour. Hope this is what you meant.

CloNeGTS · 06-09-2003, 03:59 PM

Ummm.....isn't anything less than .5 for a reaction time a red light?

That changed this year with the new LED's. Perfect is a .000 now not a .500

shoeeater · 06-09-2003, 05:43 PM

not being a drag racer myself I always wondered why a .500 reaction time was a perfect one. Anyone care to explain?

murley · 06-09-2003, 08:04 PM

It's an excuse for slow people to feel better about themselves...

MarineSGT · 06-09-2003, 08:38 PM

probably has something to do with the time it took the filaments in the lamp to burn bright enough to be visible.

One went 13.50s @ 101 mph at sea level. Sunoco 94 octane is available at local gas stations. This seems to be the norm for showroom stock, not what you see in the magazines. A .500 light is perfect so that if you red light you can tell by how much. A .400 reaction time means that you were a tenth of a second before the green light.
