Well now I don't fee so bad. My first run ever was 14.12@102.5 with a 60ft of 2.02 and I only got the one run in.

My mods are below, I wish i had something other than the stock pirelli's.

ORIGINAL: TruBlu03GT

First run: 14.36@97 with a 2.46 60 ft.

Secong run: 13.65@99.2 with a 2.10 60 ft.

Third run: 13.42@101.04 with a 1.92 60 ft.

Overall I'm pretty happy with my times. The first run i bogged a little bit, which killed my 60 ft. On the second run, I launched around 3300rpms and spun a just a lillte bit at the top of first. I also hit the gate tryin to shift into fourth. On the last run, I dont think that I could have done any better. I dont claim to e a good driver, but that was as good as I could do, lol.

those are some nice times for a stock GT. . .

how well was the track hooking. . . could you spin at all?? did you heat them up good??

with a good set of DR's, you should be able to tach it way up and dump it rather quickly, not strait dump it, but let it out FAST

Nice times, were you shiften in to 4rth? I let mine rap out third. I guess really depends on your gear though. It's fun when your not spinning all the way down the track!

+1 good times

I just got my car to the track for the first time also.

I ran a 13.8 my first run and a 13.4 my second run... Really wish I could've ran my car at least once more, can't wait to go again I know I can get my times lower for sure.

The track as hookin good. On my first run, I kinda bogged shifting into second, so on the next two runs i power shifted and didnt have any problems. As far as the heating up goes, I would say no more than 10 seconds. When i would start to see smoke comin from the tires, I just assumed they were warm enough, lol. I cant wait to get a few more mods. I wanna see 12's soo bad, its not even funny!

not a bad times....im not the biggest ford fan but they are growing on me after seeing some own in person and consistently get mid 13's in the quarter and just absolutely stomp on autoX courses when compared to the old style stang
