i pulled it off of dragtimes.com, used their weather data for 4/9/11, i think i put in the worst possible time, like 72 degrees and 15% humidity and 29.46 pressure, somthing like that.
I actually dreamed last night that my new GT was sitting at the dealership.. and customers were messing with it and they wouldn't let me take it home yet
grrr.. i want it. oh and in my dream the dealership also told me they wouldn't take my 2007 GT as a trade-in.

im trying to clear up everything to hit the track next week also. Just waiting on my ignition box. If the ignition box doesnt show in time, I might just go to watch. Don't wanna risk racing the car with no rev limiter, haha

Nice car!! Please don't take this the wrong way but something is wrong, you are .7 of a sec slower than a stock GT. That car should be low to mid 12's on stock rubber. Does everything fell like it should with the car? Where do you think you are losing that 1 to 1.5 sec. at? You where only .3sec from a good 2sec 60'. It is not easy getting 1.8 60' on those stock tires like riptide is saying.
You are not that heavy, my 100% stock car is 3640lbs with a full tank and no one in it. You lost weight with your DS and exhaust but put it back with your music. I don't know man, you got me thinking twice about which upgrades I should get, lol. I want to go with mine to get some stock baseline runs but I just made 1500 miles, she aint ready yet.

highest elevation track in the US. cars are SLOW here, we lose about 18% horsepower due to extreme elevation. stock 4.6l S197 GT's run low 15's high 14's here.
get use to it mtflyboy25. I always have to explain the elevation to people that just don't get it.

it's actually because the 4 bangers are running at minimum higher compression, but usually forced induction, there is a discussi with all the fine points on it in the stree/strip/racers bench seciton. basically, the air is at 14.73psi at sea level and up there its like 11psi(or notve the exact figure) so to compensate you need to increase the psi in your engine, n2o or turbo's are best for that. but it isn't a direct 3.73psi = sea level atmosphere the forumals are in the other section, you would need like 25-30psi turbo to negate the effects up there atleast.. maybe more. and it's still possible to run faster at sea level with your same setup (unless you are fuel limited or too much power would blow the engine/tranny) n2o is closer to being an equalizer (they call it atmospherre in a bottle) but i still see times much slower in the mountains than at sea level, leaving me to suspect n2o mostly helps with temp/humidity issues.
