auto or stick car. low 14's is what my wife runs in her vert w/ close to the same mods. Those proxies will kill you at the track. They're a great street tire but suck for racing. She hs proxies for the street, at the track the best she ran was a 14.8 or something. I put a set of M/T et slicks on it last year, her best time wasa 14.32. Tires make all the difference in the world.
