I improved my time of 17.6 to 17.3 at 80 mph!

I improved from 16.858@80
to a 16.82@82
now to find out what exactly the CEL code means and if that caused the little time chance or not...

I'm a new guy here I have a 1993 Black Taurus SHO MTX. I'd like to get a contour SVT sometime... but no money right now too many speeding tickets. I ran a 15.1 in the 1/4 a few weeks ago... I guess it's a pretty good time for a mid sided sedan.

How was the tranny holding???
Posted By: RTStabler51_dup1 Re: Drag time!! (1993 SHO MTX) - 08/29/02 02:46 AM
118k original tranny, and just fine. I replaced rods/main bearings at 116k, and traded it in on the CSVT...I miss her...

the tranny in my 94 ATX has been replaced a total of 12 times I believe in the last 2 years that I've owned it... Never take a car to AAMCO, they put the wrong tranny back in and needless to say it didn't hold up I finnally had to send it to the local SVT dealer and have a factory rebuilt tranny put in. No problems since. When I bought the car I had it for 3 days, and on my way home from work I stopped at a light only to find out that the car wouldn't move after that. The motor was running but no gears!
