you're almost a full second slower than what the car is capable of on a good day. so for it being the first time out, it's so-so. you definitely need practice. what was the temperature when you ran?

can you post the rest of your timeslip so we can see other things such as your 60' time, trap speed, etc??

then maybe we can help you figure out where you're going wrong. also moving this to S2000talk. it's technically not an SE topic.

13.7-13.8 is more than half steve. 14.6 - 13.8 = a .8 difference. so like i said.... almost a full second of what the CAR is capable of on a good day.

he's half a second slower than what an average driver should be able to do on a good day.

Gtechs are horribly inaccurate if calibrated improperly or used incorrectly. The only way to be certain your Gtech is working properly is to use it on a track so you can compare the Gtech's times with the track's times.

so a good driver should run a 13.7 stock? ap1, ap2, or both???
and a good driver does what 0-60? stock
and what do 4.57's do to those times?

I figured this is a good time for me to clear up these stats since I really don't know.

0-60 is anyone's guess, since a track doesn't give you that.

13.7-13.8 is about the most you'll attain out of either the ap1 or ap2.

and so far i've had a 13.6 with my 4.57's, though another illinois owner i met at the track with 4.57's has a 13.48. I think a 13.4 is attainable on a good day.
