DAVES XTOUTBK Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Well, my buddy had to drag me to the track and I figured I'd run a low 15 and have to figure out how to dip into the 14s. Well, first run was an easy 14.67@93.85 and second and last run was 14.47@93.67 launching at 5000rpm with a firm clutch release. Admitedly, it was a cool 54 degrees with 100% humidity but I'm pretty pleased with the 'Ooomph' of my XT wagon! dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hey, people should say "strip" instead of "track." Some of us see "track" and think that there were actual laps, and turning involved. :lol: Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL[/QUOTE] Actually, it had been raining off and on all day but we caught a couple of fairly dry hours. I usually have a Mustang GT I take to the "strip" but it was nice to see the Subee faster than quite a few early 90s GTs. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand why its so bad to refer to a drag strip as a race track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, my mostly humorous comment. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES XTOUTBK Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 I don't know how well the Outback suspension would do at the 'real' track. Just not the ideal car for those types of forays. MHO D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboAddict Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Its not the suspension, the tires would give up first. Having the outback at Watkins glen would be interesting. I think after wetting my pants going through the esses at I would probably see my life flash before my eyes as my rotors warped then melted as I tried to brake before the bus stop.
