I went for the first time last week and it was a fun experience...my car is an 08 GT bone stock and my best run was 14.3... the guys there gave me some tips after my last run and I hope to do better next time, I guess I was granny shifting...

I was solidly in the 12's with similar mods minus the 4.10 gears a couple of years ago.

I would guess high 12's maybe 13 flat. Without the drag radials, probably 13.5 to 13.6. Just a guess.

you really should be hitting some 13.1s, 13.2s if you are right on it with the launch. Mods in sig, I ran an extremly consistent 13.3@103 all day long, on some shaddy *** Maximis Z rated tires (don't ask lol) , if I had some MT DRs I'd down to a solid 13 if not better. The DRs will help out a ton.. unless you're at high elevation, then good luck!

The 4.10s and DRs should allow you to whoop some *** though.

Wheel hop 2.1 sixty hurt ya............but nothing wrong with a 13.4 ............very respectable. Too bad you only got one run. Hope you didnt have to pay a lot get in.
