If you are running 16.8 what is the point really???
I mean honestly... Even for a stock ATX 2.4L that's almost a full second slower.
Besides why would I drive the Z24 to a Contour meet anyway.
The best I can offer is to take video of a run in her car. I feel 16 flat is doable at our local POS track. Either that or you can find lots of video and slips on the j-body site already. It's not as if my wife's car is magically faster then the rest of them. (Heck it's almost stock - just a K&N drop-in and 2.3L pulley)
I have old slips for her LS (2.4L ATX) from the one time I took that to the track. Like I said 15.8x at 87.x mph. That had about 10HP more worth of mods to it and slightly smaller rims & tires. (205/60HR15 vs 205/55ZR16)
well I guess the 10+ Z24 drivers I have seen at the track don't know how do drive as good as you do... and I would say 8 out of 10 were ATX. and if it is so much faster than a Zetec come and show me... cause I have yet to see one run better than me unless they were on the bottle or turboed. and the 16.8 is a rather old time... and was on the crapy firestones that come stock on these car and I was never able to get traction... not an excuse for my time but they will be much better this summer, hell I bet they would be alot better today.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.
