Stock 1/4 times for SVT Contours

CSVT 1/4 mile
All magazines I've read say 15.4@ 91ish. Not the easiest car to get off the line. I've seen people get anywhere from 14.8- 17.3 stock. One guy got a 14.72 with just a K&N and Borla. If you can't get this car a 2.39 60' or less, you can hang it up. For the record, I'm in the 2.45-2.50 neighborhood.

I got a 15.3 with a slipping clutch and humid 90 degree weather. Completely stock (except a modified airbox (paper filter) and a glasspack in place of the resonator.) I can't remember the MPH.
Can you remember what your 60' was?

My best stock was 15.49 @ 89. Haven't had any luck yet with mods. With the gogo juice, on a 90+ degree AND humidity & 60hp shot, I ran a 14.7.....off the bottle that day I could only muster 16.0...talk about heat killing ya

Ok...I pulled out the timeslips:
My best run was a [email protected]. On that run my 60' was 2.413.
My best 60' was 2.380...but we won't talk about my actual 1/4 time on that run. :shrug:
All of this was in very hot weather and a slipping clutch. I might be able to improve them a little...who knows.
Naaaawwwwzzzz!
Man it was so humid that night. I couldn't stop sweating.

I hate you. My best is a 15.7 @86 with a 2.45 60'. The only thing making me feel better is I've only seen 2 other SVTs at this track. The modded one ran 15.2-15.4. And hes got everything short of forced induction. The other stock running 16.8-17.3
I obviously have a lot of work to do.-R-

Wow, all those times are very high for stock SVT's. I wonder what it is, track maybe? Did it seem that other cars running there were slow as well (besides Contours)? I launched somewhere around 3-3.5k, slightning slipping the clutch (as if it wasn't slipping enough already), shifting hard (but not powershifting) second and same with third. I powershifted 4th however. Remove your floormats, sometimes they get in the way. My runs were also with full stereo (2 12's), spare tire and jack.
I think its probably my car. I've got one of the lowest dynos I've ever seen for a 2000 SVT. 156 at the wheels. Pulled the air box and got 159. WOOHOO!!:rollseyes I think my driving skill has a lot to do with it also since I have yet to get a good launch out of this car. For the record, most 15sec cars(IS 300, Probe GTs,Tiburons) are in the 16s out here.

15.1 here with just a CAI.
Many can back me up on that.

Some say it's underated.
Are both ratings underrated or is the change from 195 to 200 underrated?
It's actually only the 2000's that people say are underated. I tend to believe it, even though my pride says I shouldn't:cryying:
The difference between the 99's and the 00's...? The 00's have a slightly lower displacement (2.49 as opposed to 2.5L I beleive) and a higher compression ratio (10.25:1 as opposed to 10:1)... Could be wrong. :-D
