2nd trip to the strip, had a couple friends take cars this time. Last time my best was 12.65 with an average of 13.17, bad reaction & 60 ft avg of .5733 & 2.1685.

With my apparently old and slow reflexes, this time I went hammer down on the last yellow and never red lighted. Better results, with my best being .1969 . avg closer to .2818.

But still not the best 60 ft times, best was 1.9101 and avg 2.0060.... just can't get out of hole without spinning on darn street tires (275 Nitto 555). Best 1/4 this time was 12.83, with avg of 12.98. Oh, and dropped tire pressure to about 20, but it was also about 15 degrees warmer than first time.

Would really like to find some DR's, but don't want to spend bunch a money turning into a drag car as it is my sunshine weekend car, but would sure like to see some better times, kinda embarrassing running this high with a supercharger. Seems like have seen slightly modded NA GT's running hi 12's

Anyway after my buddy got the feel of running his 70 Challenger and run a couple 12.9's (built big block, I don't know the details but he thinks around 400+ at wheels, auto tranny) he said lets go, bet you a beer. Beat him by .6821 first run and the rematch was only by .2010. He owes me 2 LARGE beers, can't wait to meet up on our normal Thursday night gathering LOL!

Very close 2nd run with him: I think he was just intimidated by the Mustang LOL

Me him
.3630 react .3519
2.0250 60 ft 2.1199
8.3667 1/8 et 8.4879
87.07 1/8 mph 85.08
12.8991 1/4 et 13.1112
108.92 1/4 mph 106.30

The 71 Boss was stock and a manual tranny, best he managed was hi 14's

What is the best deal I could find on a set of DR's? Would it worth buying used, how many runs can you get out of them?
