Default RE: drag times and elevation?

I'm in Salt Lake City, elevation 4200-4500 ft. Went to the track and saw an '07 mustang (exhaust only) run a 14.9. I just about died. But on the other hand I saw many many EVO's and STI's running 14.2-14.7 and they seemed to be modded (maybe not). Only saw one STI get into the 13's. From what I've read in the forum is you lose close to a 1 second up in this thin air. This is what really sucked, I saw 2 Honda civic hatchbacks run high 10's and neither looked clean, looked like beaters to me.From whatI remember when racing my Camaro, it did a 14.23 at 105 (street tires). My mustang feels faster. The Mustang that ran 14.9, it was his 1st time ever racing. He kind of spun the tires out of the hole. I do know this, my car is faster than a 14.9 and I'm sure if you go down to sea level, your car will scream!!

dont worry, my 60 foot times are 2.2-2,3 as well. Here in Atl. I run, without nitrous 13.6 @ 103mphI have CAI/Tunner, FRPP X-pipe conversionand pullies. with 2.0 60 foot times, I should be running 13.4 and 12.8 with N2O.
