*Yawns* Put it in I and launch with I when you reach 3rd gear slap it in "D" on the track. Traction control means nothing at this point. You want the car in 4th before the end of the track.

4-speed autos have been the norm for a long time now - I don't think you can find a new car with a 3-speed transmission anymore. Actually, lots of new cars have 5 and 6 speed automatic transmissions.

i took my car to the track about a month ago and i ran a embarassing 16.5 @84mph. i was hoping for a little more(or less) than that. so now i am getting the 2.4L intake mani and a header and downpipe combo. does any one have any idea on how much this will effect my hp and drag times?

o. and it was somewhere around 95 degrees when i ran my car.

with the mods he is talking of adding its possible especially if he was running 16.5 on a 95 degree day.

he is talking about going on a cooler day and his car will be breathing much easier and freely
