RE: Estimated 1/4 Time?
I read somewhere once that over 90% of drivers think they have above average driving skill. Food for thought.
The car is capable of solid mid 13's dependent on traction and elevation, I say you'll average 13.7 (Dependent on elevation)

I now know that I am a ****ty driver.
I agree with your estimations of what it's capable of.

RE: Estimated 1/4 Time?
my first run was like 14.5... second was 13.7 and third was 14.2. then i went to the track the week after and was doing 13.7-13.8 all night. The first time i was there i missed second on my 1rst and 3rd run... thats the easiest gear, if any i thought id miss 2nd-3rd, but i was like shaking with everyone watching and palms get sweaty hahaha. Ive only done 6 passes so i know i can get better times. I was droppin it from 3000rpms and the front end would drop, and alsmot bog out, then pick up and take off. i tried it from 3500 to correct it and spun so next time Im gana try slipping the clutch, i should be getting 13.5 maybe lower. Also one of my brakes was stuck engaged and i didnt realized so i just put new calipers and rotors on last night.

Well I bought the tips for 60 from a guy on here. They are Magnaflow 4" rolled tips 18"s long.
I went to Midas today and they quoted 30 bucks to have them welded, hangers cut and rewelded, and all that jazz....i was pretty pumped.
