In reference to three pages ago before all the bantering that's been well beaten into a dead horse over the years of the intarwebs, I grew up in southern MD. Lusby first then a little farther north to the Prince Frederick area. Anyhow, I'm pleased with my 13.1 bone stock run considering I haven't been down the track in years and never launched my car before that night.

Very nice. How are the borla attacks? They came out with those after I bought my stingers.

I've heard they're pretty good, if you like aggressive exhaust. Definitely not for the faint of heart

I love them. They have just enough tone for everyday driving to sound awesome and they have no drone at all. But when you hit the gas hard, they really yell! Best axle back I have ever had.

Every car that comes off the lot runs faster/slower than the last. Maybe he just got a good one

Recently I got a bad one due to my right rear axle being defective/bent from the factory... sucks but it's life. Sweet car and did you notice a difference when installing just the intake?

Good post. I think people arguing about initial dyno #'s are looking into it too much. The dyno is a tuning tool and not necessarily about dyno A vs dyno B.

it should be looked at as baseline vs what mods you do.
