2nd run at the track improvement

Sup fellas, well it was my second time at the track first time was a few months ago it was hot and humid best i did that time was 13.742@103 these are my results from wednesday night.

RT: 0.422
60': 1.978
330': 5.797
1/8: 8.792
MPH: 82.27
1000': 11.354
1/4: 13.506
MPH: 105.06

can i get an assessment of these times, what do you think the car is capable of? i consider my self a decent driver and fast shifter, i do have a spinning problem in second sometimes, and the launch can use some work.. but with a 105mph trap i think she has more in her.

this is purely a guess cause i have never been to the track yet with my 4 year old car lol but i would say with some sticky tires and the small amount of mods you have i would say 13.0

just a guess on my part

With your 105 mph trap speed, 13.0's are certainly possible with sticky tires to harness all that power. On a cold fall day, you'd likely be able to find a few 12.9's with sticky tires. Traction appears to be your biggest problem at this point. Your 60' time with sticky tires could be 1.75 to 1.80, and that .2+ improvement would yield about .4 improvement in your 1/4 mile ET's.

I agree, with cool weather and sticky tires 12.9's are possible. Nice job for you second time out!
