Default DD NEW PB!

Took the V6 to Atco tonight in search of her first 13 second time slip. Only changes from last time out was 93 octane vs. 87 and the tempature was in the 50s vs the 80s. Best run of the night was 13.82@101. Car is a V6 premium automatic. 2.73 gears, all season tires, CAI and a tune. The sixty is what it is. Leave like you know what your doing and cut a 2.1! Leave a little harder and the tires finally break loose and it does 2.3. Their great on gas milage.

Yea I had a couple of good races with older S197 GTs last night. I would jump em off the line and hold the lead to about half track. Then they'd pull maybe a car by the end. Most were trapping 105 to my 101. My wife actually beat a kid in a stick 5.0 last night. He had just bought the car and had never dragged raced before. He had a lot of excuses after he got out and seen a woman in her 50s hope out of a V6. LOL

Not bad at all. Do you plan at least 3.23 gears and a 2800 stall?? shouldn't effect MPG's or daily driving too much

Nope. I don't plan on spending a cent on this car. Only reason it's got the tune and CAI is because I bought it used and it was already on there. I got my roll bar in yesterday for the black car. It wont be cheap welding that in. And the Motor should be done soon so I'll want to get that wired up and dyno tuned.
