Thats a little better. Keep at it Maybe ask for advice instead of trying to create drama in every thread. Some of the guys that hang out in this section are very good drag racers.

Seriously the only time I've even come close to that kind of 60ft is when I run at hangover day (18F the last time I went).

I didn't even know it was possible to pull a 3.x 60ft.. (hax!!!!)
My friend in the SVT Focus ran the 3.1 60' He spun in 1st and a bit in 2nd. It was his first time at the track and only his second run, so its understandable. He cut a 2.399 on his next run.

Nah, I trap almost that speed in the 1/8. Faster then your V6 I am sure.

Mods? Best I have seen a stock 3.7L trap in a 1/8 is 76. I have done 4MPH faster...making 50 less whp...with a slow 60'...on bad street tires...in a FWD....on stock suspension.

Glad you got out there again man and Good job on bringing those 60's and e.t.'s down!!! Trapping right at 80 isn't bad either, can't wait to see the 1/4 mile times and hopefully you can have the better tires and your mounts by then!

About you beating the 2011 V6..... Unless it's very poorly driven I don't see you winning, but that's just me. I've seen them trapping anywhere from 101-104 in the 1/4.

Thanks. Yea, would be a good race I think. The V6's are high 13 cars that trap low 100s. If I can get my 60 down to 2 on my new set up, I think I can run and trap right around that too.

Mr. E... why do you talk so much ****... you have a FOCUS... must be the only one that gets tired of this drama over and over again...

Its a Mustang board.... and the people on here who don't have Mustangs are very insightful and are very knowledgeable... you are neither.
