alright... few things im seeing

1. i think im the only one who beats on my car everyday... or atleast every other day. not all day but a little here and there. its a mustang... drive it like one!

2. sounds like your launching very softly... what your doing is a decent idea, but i thnk the clutch/gas transition needs to happen faster... should do a 2.1 60ft all day on street tires

3. your mph is way ****in low... should break atleast 100...

4. yo have some decent advise in here, they all have the right idea

the car ought to go atleast 14.2 as is

ive also noticed, atleast around here(md) everything is .2 off and almost 2mph off

heres my stock runs...

2.1 60ft
8.9 1/8th mile
13.72 1/4mile
102.xx mph

I'm guessing the 3.73's are partly to blame for my low mph? I know RT is not part of my ET, but its a pride thing with me to cut a good light and it makes a big differece in bracket races.

The 3.73s should help your trap, not hurt it.

102 MPH seems a bit optimistic for a stock gt though... espcially with the temps/humity thats going around. I would be more than willing to bet you pick up quite a bit as things start to cool down.

You never posted your 60' unless I missed it, what was it?

You've got a better 60 ft than wati usually do. I have a horrible 60 ft of 2.4, and i still run low 14 bone stock.
Itd be nice if we could see a vid of your driving

Good idea....a burnout doesn't really help with street tires.
