Default Expecting 12's but, nope!

So I thought I was just gonna hit the track and run 12's well I didn't as my sig says... I am untuned, planning in getting that soon, I'd think it'd be really close then!

My eighth mile seems to be right, from my last 9.01 pass at 79mph stock...
Stall and a tune I shouldn't have to worry bout it then on any tire... My 8.57 pass was on v-rated mastercraft avenger hp's lol!

Maybe it's just me but it would be nice to know what car you are doing this in. What mods, etc.. You have no car in your sig, and no garage set up to view.

Anyway, welcome to my world, 13's suck ***!!!! Gotta start somewhere though..

Your mystery car and my car would actually probably be a good race in the quarter..

Yes 13's do suck, I think 12 is when you can start saying you have a pretty fast street car. I did a 13.36 with a lid and catback on street tires which is pretty average but that also lit a fire under me to start buying parts. Soon I'll have my LT's and ORY and a tune and hopefully I'll see 12.9.

Good runs but, it seems you should be in the 12s? maybe 12.7 to 13.0? What was the DA and temp that day? Is you car up on all its maintainence?
