I would think on suspension with tires with stock power you could see 12.5-12.7 but I am not completely sure.

i dont have any suspension mods per say and i should be close to a 12.8 or maybe less with just some drag wheels im sure suspension could cut another 4-5 tenths off if i had the right stuff.

I've wondered the same thing, but I don't think we'll ever see someone just do a drag suspension and absolutely nothing else. As much clutch feathering as our cars require off the line with stock gears and tires, I can't see weight transfer fixing it unless it's a boosted Mach. Good rubber is the key for the n/a Machs, just IMO ofcourse.

i agree with you partially ryan.
if you had the perfect launch with perfect weight transfer i would think you could hook better even on street tires, BUT good tires are always the best bang for the buck.
