yep!!!! LOL you sure did! And on that 12.70 run the stock clutch slipped so bad it was horrible. and it barely made it home afterwards. like i said before. woohoo is woohoo. and yoohoo is yoohoo. two totally different meanings, and i make typo's as much as everyone! i am a car guy in general, not partial to gm, ford, dodge or even honda. that is the reason i am on here. i never make fun or point fingers, but i see some can, and thats ok. To the op. you can have a 9 sec stang. and have a crappy 60' and get 11 or 12 sec pass. keep up the good work!

Oh boy take your shovel and dig yourself out of your hole somewhere else. If you had been around for more than a minute you'd know I never make fun of people for trying their first time. See ya next month when you drop in for another reply.

Really ? did you really bump this just to stir up ****? For the years I've spent in here I've never seen blu belittle another for a pass. I NEVER say yoohoo for anything (hey seems to be a better attention getter).... woo-hoo is defined as a happy/joyous exclamation so I don't know where you are getting the negative aspect from anyways.

Ouch...you have a long drop with 60fts like that. 9.5 should be an achievable goal likely a little better with good traction. How are you launching? High Rpm and just letting the clutch out? Low rpm and just mashing the gas?

Congrats on new personal best. With gears and drag radials you'll be running 9.2s in no time.

I was holding it at 1500rpms then when the light dropped I would slip the clutch out while giving it gas and once the clutch was all the way out I would floor it. I also currently have 215/70/15 Firestone affinity touring tires on my car which arent helping anything traction wise.
