A few more trips, and you should be able to cut that 60 down from 2.5-2.6 to 1.9-2.0
you have to work on your 60 foot times. All it takes is seat time.
A CAI and tun Mustang GT will do 13.1-13.2
A plain stock Mustang GT will be capable of 13.5-13.6

I disgree on low 13's for stock stang
yep that is all pretty much spot on. the guys dong below 13.5 have a good deal of previous track time im sure. But like i said you should be able to cut 1 full second off the 14.3 with the car in present setup.

also i think 5.1 is what the rated 0-60 time is for the GT, not 5.6.

Any win is a good win as far as I'm concerned. It's like Any crash you can walk away from is a good one. Same principle.

A members further answers to my question..

[03-07, 19:13] GTJT2010 thanks so if i had a 2.10 60 ft time and not a 2.59, where would i be if the 2.59 had me at 14.3?

a DS will probably make you lose a tenth, but you won't know for sure until you've gotten your 60' down a bit
that'll help you some
you already have an advantage over most other GT's with the 3.73 gears you are running
about 13.3 I think

so my goal...low to mid 13's, if i had a 93 tune might help too

Hey if your enjoying your ride and having fun I think thats all that matters. You didn't lose any money and didn't crash, more time in the seat can fix anything.
