Simple kill Mazdaspeed

[aarcuda]

Second trip to the track with PC8. Now have 520 miles on her.

Kill was easy. Mazdaspeed 3, the guy didn't know what hit him.:knockout: Since it was Real Street Drags night I don't know what he ran. They cut the timeslips so you don't know other peoples runs for betting purposes.

Ran my best time yet 13.194 @ 109.05http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q257/AAR_Cuda/PCSRT8/plum.jpg

RT .198
60' 1.969
1/8 8.536
1/8 MPH 83.89
1/4 13.194

That is one QUICK SRT8. Please keep us posted as the miles loosen up the motor. What track are you racing at ?

Good kill, but a stock RT w/ R/T should easily kill a MazdaSpeed3. Any SRT8? LOL, no contest.

The MazdaSpeed3s (stock) are high 14 cars if they are driven well. They are quick, but they are not terribly fast, and remember: Mazda had to choke the torque down low to avoid outrageous torque steer. This means slower sprints to 60.

Thanks Chuck, I am very happy with that run. BTW my temp was 208 so I know I have more once I do the thermostat and fan switch.
Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI. I've been going there for 28 years so I pretty much know the track.

Slowest run of the night was a 13.347 @ 105.82.

You might want to check your numbers on the Mazdaspeed 3 because they are better than you think.
