Hello, this is my first post in this new forum . I´ll like to share what happened with our recently bought LeBaron.
My dad and I took our 1995 AA body LeBaron to the track. Some of you might remember this car, it is the one with 16,000 original miles.
It is a mexican LeBaron with a 2.5 TII and auto trans, We bought it form an old lady who rarely used it. We have installed very few mods on it: K&N air filter, Warlock muffler, MAP clamp, a Grainger valve for boost control set at 16psi and the most important, M&H 23x7.5 slicks. Before the slicks our best time was a 15.32 with a 60ft of 2.45. Now with the slicks the car went 14.52 with a 60ft of 1.92 on the first pass, second pass was a 14.58 with a 60ft of 1.98 and on the third pass it went 14.39! with a 60ft of 1.822, trap speed was a constant but low 91mph. I think the ETs show how important traction is!
