Bradley GIt's normal. Being closer to North pole, we actually race on the flatter part of the planet while you guys are fighting it more uphill. ... And we got the metric measuring !! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Don't feel bad about it thought, the australians are upside down !!

Bradley GYeh, but a quarter of a mile is a lot shorter distance, up there.;)

TTA is the first one... Who is in second place?

It's bacuase all of our tracks point due south... As everyone knows, if you don't apply the parking brake when pointing down, your call will roll towards the equator :P No, no, no.... Wait!!! It's the cooler air up here that makes us run so fast!

One thing's for sure - It's not cause we're lighter-weight drivers (well, I'm not).

PS - I'm gunning for number one, come spring-time ;)

Hey...Ain't them Canadian ETs in metric?

Hey...Ain't them Canadian ETs in metric?
I think the air pressure in the tires are too. :laugh:

Nope, but if the track was measured as 400 meters, it would 8 feet short of a true 1/4-mile...

Cool temps help.:) It was 80* today Jan 8. Give me a 50* day at the track down here...once....please....:cry:

[Bradley G]

If you aren't exactly second, you're awful close!:D Good luck on your quest for #1

A lot of MM owners have mildly modified thier cars and still won't achieve those ET's

TTA is the first one... Who is in second place? I was the fastest stock (14.49) but I was disqualified for cheating.:bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

[Bradley G]

Do tell?

Thanks... I'm only gonna have one shot at it, so I'll have to make it a good one. I'm sooo tempted to start the mods, but keep telling myself "one more trip to the track, first."


Dennis flashed my PCM, my car stopped being a virgin....no more stocky....:(
Yeah - kinda hard to call it stock, with a flash. Did you ever run it, prior to the program? I'd think you would have likely been in the 14.7 - 14.8 range, which would have put you in second.

After surfing through the Timeslips, it appears that as far as stockers go, I'm in third. The reported stock order is:

TripleTransAm - 14.56 @ 97.2 (though he hasn't posted his time in the DB:rolleyes:)
the fat bastid -14.738 @ 95.37
Me - 14.831 @ 94.97
Anyone else that I missed, or haven't entered their time? Overall, I'm surprised how few have enter info into the Timeslips section. It's such a useful tool, for all those "if I had this, what would I run?" questions, and just for braggin' rights :D

[Bradley G]

Not saying a bone stock Marauder can't run consistantly in the mid to uper 14's,I have not witnessed it first hand.:D

Bradley G
If a flash is cheating, then I am cheating too!I wish I could cheat my way into the 13's;)

[Smokie]

Overall, I'm surprised how few have enter info into the Timeslips section. It's such a useful tool, for all those "if I had this, what would I run?" questions, and just for braggin' rights :DI listed long ago and took it off, If it ever defaults to an exclusive Marauder listing I will list again, I am not interested in all the entries that are not Marauders...anyone can put whatever they want there...if you are going to ranked as an example 10th fastest entry, there should be exactly 9 faster Marauders ahead of you.

[Bradley G]

I would find this useful too ! One list exclusively for Marauders/ and mods done to achieve these.Mine is still listed there, but not accurate ,I would hope to be as good as the Northern connection and Fat with the mods I have done .I would like to get a dynotune and maybe a set of tires and Trans mod to get near 13's??I know it depends on how much $$ for what level trans mod.I will not sacrifice daily driveability for faster ET's.But from what I read the best of both worlds is possible to a degree.I am being told by others ;) ,I should be happy where I am at!

BradleyGThere are still worthwhile achievements yet to be accomplished, I am focused in the area of getting into 13's without changing gears, torque converter, N/A of course.
I believe the last piece of the puzzle was the PHP air box. I believe my car at this time has enough power to do this, the problem now is getting to the track, weeknights are tough because I frequently work late, so I have to wait for a Saturday and see if I can achieve this goal.

[Bradley G]

Good luck on that Smokie!I have to wait till spring :mad: till I get another try.

Ditto...Thanks, Javier. I hope others are listening.
