Finally got out to the track to see what she could do as a baseline. There was a pretty decent direct headwind and the temps were right at 78-80* and humid as a front was moving in. DA was around 1400ft., so it wasn't the best conditions but still a happy camper with what I got. The car is completely stock. Paper filter even and the only thing I did was remove the engine cover. Made 3 passes. Traction control off first pass and was on the last two. Launched around 1200rpm's in sport mode and clicked it into manual mode at 80mph to keep it from shifting into 4th. 13.80@103.58, 13.68@103.98, and 13.71@103.96. Everybody was at least a tenth and 1mph off. So I feel for sure she would run some 50's at over 104mph which seems to be about the norm for these cars. Tune and Vararam will be soon!

Not bad Dave. Sounds like its got some more. Get that 60fter down in the 1.90s and you are there.

Nice runs. Did you even do a burn out or just line up and go?

Thanks guys! I just lined up, no burnout. I didn't do anything to the tire pressure. So what have you guys found that works best on the launch? Seemed to like the TC on. I footed it to around 1200rpm. With better weather and no head wind she would have definitely been quicker. Yes, mods will be coming! My house is getting modded this week! Damn hurricanes and Allstate insurance suck big fat ones!!!
