Razor, everyone has the fear first time. Most cars are pretty much stock at street meets. I drive 2 1/2 hours to my nearest track and I always give my cars a go in stock standard trim. That way you can get a real picture of how much faster your car is with any mods. There are plenty who will want to sell you a mod (eg intake snorkel) but have no performance benefit at all. My GT-P showed no change with an ss induction thingy, so was a waste of time and money. Feel the fear and do it anyhow!
[quote=RaZoRChak]One of the reason I don't want to take it to willowbank it's because I'll look like an idiot with a stock car Do many people take stock cars there to test? Also, how much is it? I might go after I get some mods.

Dont worry about it being stock
Ive seen an F6 get a laugh when he spun halfway down the track for a 14.9.
Your high 13 wouldnt get any giggle at all, go on wednesday night
haha rapid that sounds like my first time down willowbank in my f6 ran about that haha, dont be affried to take a stock car down guys, shit its a test and tune, test the car in standard to get a base line then mod it up and run her again to see how far from the base line you move, and it gives you a chance to do legal burnouts haha

I'd like to take it to the tracks, but just dunno where I'm from brissy area, and the only track avaliable is almost 2 hours drive away! I don't want to do any mods yet, still researching cuz I want my money well spent
So at the moment, just wanna know what the performance of my stock is, so I can compare later after mods.
Just go for a toodle at WIllowbank , first time I ran the EL wagon we went mid 16 secs , its had a turbo transplant since then and it's a little faster :)
at least then you will know how you do with mods.

Get a base first Razor, as has been said. Then you will know and learn how to 1/4 mile before you get some serious grunt. Practice makes perfect. have a look at xr6turbo.com
