Stoked with the 1/4 mi. times today!

Stock tires set to 24psi, Roush axle backs and the discs removed. (#475)
I ran this summer when it was about 90 out and was only able to get a 12.59
Today was just about 60 deg. I expected to do better but was truly shocked at the times!
Seriously thought the first run was a bad one because it spun in 2nd & I actually bumped the limiter briefly. I'm blown away!

Thanks, I struggle getting this stuff posted right! I just wish I had some video to go with the slips. I haven't seen 12:2's without drag radials

Thanks, I appreciate that. I really wish the person I took to run some video off my SLR would have been successful. After the first 2 passes I realized it wasn't gonna work for her. Oh well maybe next time. Track is closed for the year now.

I don't know how to get a youtube link up here but this is one from this summer when it was much hotter.

Window tint, amp & speakers though...

I'm real happy with them. There is a little drone @ 2k rpm under load. Everybody's got their opinion on loud or not loud enuf. It's pretty aggressive but I like that, I haven't heard any others in person though They are great for the price IMO. Much smaller than stock & a easy install.

Great times! I assume you left the suspension at factory default and running on 93 Octane.

Actually I'm not sure where the suspension is set, I've fooled around with it a few times and don't remember where I left it.
I'm not sure of the octane either, I think its 92. I do run ethanol free though.

One thing I am sure of is this car is awesome & it flat rips. As I tell people that are lookin at it, it runs as good as it looks and handles even better!!

I appreciate the props on here, I told my girlfriend the guys on the boards ain't gonna believe this!

Thank you!

Ha Ha! Yeah. The added weight bothers the purists and I rarely listen to the tunes cuz the car sounds better but hey with a 600 watt amp when its time to rock it takes care of biz in a big way!
