Alright, the results are in.......
Before I went to the track I decided to add a couple of gallons of 93 premium, since I was well below 1/4 of a tank. I get to the track, launch and wouldn't you know it, the engine pings like crazy. That run resulted in a 10.49@67. Basically, I let off after second gear and cruised to the finish. So, I went to the filling station and threw in a gallon of 104. The pinging stopped and the final run of the night was.........
60ft........2.32
330ft.......6.36
1/8th.......9.77@72
Yeah, it's not fast, but it was actually a lot better than I expected. It's the first time I have ever driven a stick at the track. And that 60ft time is thanks to the highway 3.08's. I launched at 1500rpm, but the car would not go out of the gate. In another run I tried a 2500rpm launch but that resulted in too much wheelspin. Maybe with a little more practice I could have whittled it down to a 9.5-9.6. I think gears will be my next order of business.....

Thanks guys! Yeah I just took it down for the heck of it! I mean why not? It's deff. not fast, but it's a fun little street cruiser that should b able to hold it's own against most econo-box's and wannabe tuner cars.
