I went for the first time to try and drag my car, it was pretty fun! Definitely worth the $20.

I did pretty poorly, my 60ft was a 2.7 and my total for the 1/8th mile was 10.996 at 68mph.

I'll practice it a bit and get it down

Here are some videos:
1) I went up against a Mustang 5.0L

2) This was a 1000hp STI, I talked to the guy driving it, he was decked out in subaru gear, clothing, helmet gloves and all. It made quite a racket.

You're first video is private []

Congratulations on your first run. What did the soobie get?

 

[dirtbrown]

it takes awhile to get the launch down...you should be able to get low 10's easy

 

[PumkinSvt]

I was close art! I said you would run 11.00 sec! =P

 

[polishlanman]

There you go! Unlocked the video, sorry about the inconvenience!

Subie got some ridiculously low time. like 6.8 or 6.5 something like that.

Best time of the night was 6.08. on some huge unnecessary muscle car. lol!

 

[polishlanman]

A lot of other SVTF drivers get 10.2-10.3 this made me sad

I have owned the car for 2 months and still can't launch this biatch!
