Drag/Acceleration The Official 1/4 mile track thread.

Came here looking for the Stinger that ran a 12.685@113.47mph. This was at Cecil County Dragway in Maryland this past Friday (6/14/19). Yellow Stinger was absolutely beautiful. I was there in a 2018 Honda Civic CVT so I apologize for not giving you a good race. :p I just never see these cars and the two I saw was a boring gray color. When I lined up against you, I knew I was in trouble.

Great looking ride and race!

JB4 on the Civic?? :)

That’s my boy Brian.

That looks like it. I remember looking to my left pulling up to the staging lane and seeing the yellow lettered wheels. Beautiful! Much respect!
I posted the timeslip below. You'll see me up there either bullshi**ing with my Civic or in a Maroon 2010 Toyota RAV4 (AWD). The Civic has tags 'FASTCVT' and my Rav4 'FASTRAV'. I'm willing to learn as much as I can about your platform. You guys have an awesome vehicle.

BTW: My RAV4 is in the shop atm. Last I ran was a 13.2 at Cecil in it. See u at the strip.

FWIW there is an 11.85 ET dragstrip video on The Stinger Owners FB group of a guy launching in reverse. Not sure on tuning or mods. Wouldn't bother bringing it up normally except that it would be 1st place on this list. :)

Someone has to know this guy. You can hear the announcer say 11.85 but can't really read the screen.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

What do you mean launching in reverse?
 
It's a funny video.. Guy screws up on the launch and goes backwards. Then resets for another race to run 11.85. :)

Man, I was really hoping you were going to say someone brake boosted in R and was able to build enough boost to pop the car in D for a record time. That would have been nuts. Ahwellz.

How is it going with the brake wire idea to build boost at idle?

Link? I wonder if it was Angel with the Lap3? I know he has been recorded launching in reverse lol.

That was me. First time running this car, and I needed driver mod. Went this past Friday and ran 12.54 @ 114.99

That was me! Kato says Cecil is a slop pit of a track, but its local to me. But, I will be running at Atco. I have video of the Stinger spinning on launch. This past Friday I cut a .076 light. Last race was 2019 Mustang performance pack, who by the way, his brother just bought a Blue Stinger. I holeshot him, and beat him to the end heads up. He ran 12.3 at 116 or 118, I have to look at my slips. My 60' is pretty bad. Best was 2.0 something
 
That 11 second run was on tower side, so I assume it’s the left lane.

Yes I guess audio was confusing, oh well, still a funny video!

Cecil County is actually an awesome track to run at bro. Just that the night we ran, they were having a 'No Prep' street Outlaw race so they didn't prep the track. I usually run .1-.2 seconds faster at Cecil than I do at Atco in all my cars. And .1-.2 seconds faster at Atco than Englishtown (which is no more as of this year).

It was good to race you. Saw you at DE Park earlier today at the car show event. You drove past me while I was heading into DE Park. Stop following me mang. :laugh:

I may bring my slow Civic out to Atco tomorrow to run some tests. It'll be hot (76f-86f), Humid (87%) and a sucky air density (2000ft-2600ft). It'll be good to test your 60ft times though. I have a ghetto homemade intake I'll be testing out with some heat shielding. Want to see how well it works in the worst conditions. If you come out to Atco, I'll see you there. Don't mishift! Or my CVT may embarrass you. :p

I'm surprised your CVT is handling your extra power. I had a 2016 Maxima before the Stinger and I didn't bother modifying it, people reported the CVT would self destruct with any real power adders. In all honesty, conceptually, the CVT should be the fastest type of transmission there is.
 
I thought heard 11.34 @ 115 for the non tower right lane. Almost had a @bal situation again. That would require a 1.5 60 foot at that trap. lol
And now that i know the time i can see the 12.54 on the board.
Mods?

Angel is full bolt on. He has everything and the kitchen sink.
