Completely stock automatic, weather was pretty good, was my first time running this car down the track. I have videos of all 5 runs as well, had a buddy there to record it.

 

Ran the car tonight for the first time made two runs.Stock tires.Left the line at 2,500RPM.Got wheel hop.Shifted at 6,000 each gear.Just about went threw the Traps in 3rd gear.Was only at 6,200.
1ST Run 60ft-2.048 13.59@102.62
2ND Run 60ft-2.023 13.463@103.79
Well, thats my baseline.I also shifted cautiously into 3rd.Stock shifter stinks.Could not believe the car weigh'd 3,763LBS

 

Time slip is to light to copy as i see with most others.Picture of car is poor also.Took it off the video of the track.

 

Ok learned how to photo slip better.

 

stock except for 4.10s and predator 91oct tune. (stock intake, no susp mods)

11.8 at 117MPH.... and some other stuff .....

 

zombie thread hungers!!! :zombies:

 

My best so far is a 14.02 @ 101

 

I didn't expect to see so many 14 sec passes

 

Yea I'm slow lol. Like everyone says, the 60' is the key. I'm in and around low 2s. I think rear suspension would help alot. I think John Force was driving for Car and Driver when they tested it and ran a 13.5. I haven't seen a N/A S197 run faster than high 13s personally.

 

See sig!

 

13.1@106 1.94 60'

 

Ummm me
11.8 allllll motor looking for 11.5s next time out picked up a few poneys and one peice driveshaft since the 11.8

 

I guess I should have specified 4.6L 3v. Those are *****in times though
