Only got one pass in...

56*, 53% humidity, 935ft altitude (Muncie Dragway).

Complete street prep, nothing removed from the car.

2.3 60'
13.99
105.93mph

Completely grandma'd the launch. Launched from dead idle and very slowly rolled into it... not sure why I wasn't considerably more aggressive... had absolutely NO tire spin.. didn't even turn the tires over once... haha. Ran in sport shift, traction off, kicked it into manual mode around 80ish and held out 3rd until the rev limiter...

With a good launch, I'm hoping for 13.4's or 5's on Wednesday when we go back considering we got rained out and got a rain check :)

Edit: complete details:

60'___2.326
330___6.127
1/8___9.205
MPH___80.32
1000___11.820
1/4____13.999
MPH____105.93

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's... all 4 tires were at 34psi
As mentioned above, complete street trim... bone stock, nothing at all removed from car. Full glove box, probably 30$ worth of change in the center console (lol), cd books in the backseat, cleaning supplies and a half case of water in the trunk.. Not that any of these items would really make a difference, just throwing out all the fine print details.

It's a commonly known fact that the IOM G8s are the fastest on the planet. Keep practicing, you'll be in the 11's soon!

I need to make the drive up there some day. Why didn't you make the G8 meet? :)

I had posted my time on the mustangforum and I think one of your friends posted your times. I liked your mph. I went a 13.80@102 with a 2.08 60's, I guess holding 3rd helped your mph.

I concur. That's a damn good time for a horrible launch. With a 2.0 you'll be rocking mid 13's no problem. My guess is a solid 13.5.

Hopefully going to find out tonight...

I'm hoping for better than a 13.5 if I can nail a solid 2.0 60'

Yea, me and 2 buddies (who both have Regal GS') are headed down there tonight...

Test&Tune is open from 5pm-930pm

I won't be able to make it down until about 7pm, but I will be there. I get off work at 6pm, and it takes me about 45 minutes to get to the track (pending how fast I drive, I could probably make it in 30mins.. ;) )

$15 to race.

Tech is VERY leniant... I don't even run with a helmet or anything. All you have to do is fill out a tech card, drop it in a box, and you're good to go.
