OHHHHHH it was a charger ok, see before the stang I had an 02 ram hemi and right now 2 of my freinds have them so everytime I hear just hemi I think the truck. Yeah those charger are quick. If the motor is the same as the truck they have 345 hp, not to shabby.

1.) High temperatures and high humidity eat horsepower like you wouldn't believe! You could probably run 13.4's-13.5's or even better in 60 degree weather and 50% humidity. Weather is a HUGE factor!
2.)Altitude is also a factor. If you are at higher altitudes you will need to correct your times if you want to compare them to times posted by others at lower altitudes.
3.) You have a convertible. Convertibles are heavier and slower than coupes.
4.) Do you have an automatic? If so, you're going to run a few tenths slower than a 5spd.
5.)You really don't have that many performance mods to begin with.
6.)You can gain some time by icing the manifold, removing the spare, etc. but , just like you, I prefer to get my times in "Street" trim. However, you should realize that a lot of people use these tricks at the dragstrip to gain a few tenths and by not using them your times are going to be just a bit slower...
7.)Keep Practicing and Good Luck!
