I say High between 13.7-14.1 mid 13s with a nice take off. I recommend burning out your street tires on second gear just like DRs and letting off your clutch little by little when you feel they are catching grip and trust me they will get really sticky too. They will be good enough for a 2.0 60ft. I get 2.0s 60fts with my 96 gts with 3.73s and street tires. My neighboor who builts stangs since it's his daily job, took his daily driven 04 mach1 with street tires that had about 20% left of tread and left side was a 265 and right had a 275 and he was getting low 8s (He is an awesome driver though) at the 1/8th and all that the car has is a tune by him self with a Superchip and 410s with C&L CAI. His last run he blew the left axle. I went to help him move the car out of the track and we couldnt because his street tires got really sticky because of burning them out like I am saying. I hope you hit mid 13s at least.

Maybe were you and most others live at it wont make a difference. But with the hot weather here in SouthFlorida it does make a difference. I am telling you from my personal experiences and from my friends that go to the track every weekend and they dont own just one stang. They own shops and race them on weekends. If you want to be an ignorant then go ahead but it also depends what cheap street tires your using. But Continentals hook up great, Dunlops too, my yokohamas too, there r some other brands too that even if they arent DRs you can make them stick. I never said stick just like DRs but they will get sticky. If not then explain me how my friend's mach1 snapped an axle and then we couldnt push the car back and it was 5 ppl pushing.

im in SC, with the rediculous heat down here and i can tell you from experience even with well prepped tracks you wont hook up. im sure i have more time on the track than you do and i have seen it way too many times when guys do excessive burn outs on street tires and make complete asses of themselves when they try to launch there car. street tires should only be turned over a couple of times to clean them off, anything more than that makes them slippery and all you will do is spin.

Dimebag races every weekend, and works in a high performance race shop. Infact his shop is doing the cam for my car.
Ive been racing for about 8 years now, and have driven just about every type of street tire, from michelin, to bfg, toyo to sumitomo.
NONE of which were able to net me a sub 2.0 60' time... while my nittos got me a 1.7 with the car setup EXACTLY the same
