i went to track today (US41, IN) it was my first time at that track and there were some guys from here..

i ran 9 times (hot lap.. didn't get a chance to cool the engine down) my car is 06 stang GT 5-speed manual and bone stock.

first run 13.8@101mph with crappy 2.18 60'

second run 13.7@102mph with 2.1 60'

third run: 14.8@89mph with 2.1 60' ( i missed third and damn shifter wouldn't grab the third.. finally it grabbed but the car wouldn't pull at all and i relaized i was in fifth and i dropped back to 3rd but the game was over already)

fourth run 13.6@102mph with 2.0 60'

fifth run 13.6@102mph with 2.0 60'

6th run 14.0@90ish MPH wiTH 2.3 60' ( i bogged the hell out of the car, the dude, i raced with was JUST lucky cuz i couldn't launch. cuz he ran high 13s and he was the one who wanted to race)

seventh run 13.6@102mph with 2.0 60'

eighth run 13.6@102mph with 2.0 60'

Last run 14.4@96mph with 2.1 60'

i know i can drive better.. and i know i will dig into 13.4 again and again and again..

i think if i would have cooled my engine down pretty good, i would shave off a good .1 or maybe .2 of sec on my ET. track was empty so we wanted to just keep racing and i kept running 13.6 all day. ( i went to track for at least 13.5s but no luck)

oh well..

 

Not bad at all, the MPH is there, go get some DR's

 

You'll get up there dont worry :]

 

pretty consistent on that 13.6, nice

 

US 41 huh.. where at in IN/IL are you from??

have you been to the 4.6 section and seen our thread on a meet (that will probably be in Milan MI next spring?)

 

13.6 is pretty stout for a stocker. Tracks cant be that great this time of year. I ran friday and the best I could manage was a 13.2 on slicks with my skittle. I could feel them spinning in first thru 3rd. The cold air is great for the motor but sucks for traction.

 

Good ole highway 41. It goes through my home town Evansville. I need to go back home and check out the sea level power. I've never felt that in my car[>:].

 

I wish I would have known you guys were going. I tossed the idea around yesterday morning and then decided to find something constructive to do.

 

I wouldn't be disapointed with those times if I were you. Those are very decent times for your first time at the track.... I have yet to see a stock 05/06 run better than a 13.8 her in Phoenix...(not to say it doesn't happen just havent seen it.)

Good Job, and good consistancy on the 13.6

 

He said first time at "That" track. I doubt any rookie is going to click off consistant 13.6's with a stock GT.
