Default What was your time the first time you went to the dragstrip in your mustang?

I was thinking about taking my GT down to the dragstrip ( 5 spd. ) for the first time and just wanted to know an estimate of what most people here ran in their stock 05-07 5spds? This includes 1/4 and 1/8 mile.

with your 4.10s and bolt ons, I don't see why you wouldn't run at least a high twelve as long as you hook. Do you have or do you plan on getting some drag radials or rear ca's?

within a couple of weeks, I'm gonna do an aluminum d/s and lower c/a's...right now I was figuring on low 13's....hopinthe d/s and c/a'swill help even more...

Still...I have never ran at the track...been pickin up alot of tips here on how to run though!

I would say most people run high 13's on average. But people have ran as low as 13.4

First time I went I had already had a 93 Octane tune with a C&L Intake and an O/R H. Ran about 6 runs with a 13.2 being my best time.

^^^ not to be bossy, but I'd put the driveshaft on the back burner and get some sticky tires (I got some mounted on takeoffs because I figured I'd be switching back and forth between the drag radials and the factory pirellis, but with the 4.10s I don't see myself ever putting the pirellis back on unless I want to do burnouts lol), plus an rear upper ca since the lowers will only half solve the traction issue. Just my opinion...hell I'd figure a low 13with your current mods, but with stock gearing and sticky tires...drag radials + 4.10sshould be high twelves at least...

First pass was a 13.8 and 13.7 stock. Which made me happy.
I ran a 13.9 in my 02 GT.
