I cant wait till I move then I can hit up the track just like you guys.

Should I expect around 15-17 in a 97 vert with CAI and Single cat-back? I don't have the fancy split-port or Windstar

I wouldnt expect anything in the 15s or 16s...Get some gears, then you will do better.

Good drivers, great conditions and hookup along with so many other factors help to change the outcome of a race. Its easy to be surprised.

My wifes 93' NA 300ZX 2+2 Auto pulled a 13.9 in the 1/4 mile with just a catback (NO FART CANS!!!)
