Is this a decent time for a vert Went to a local 1/8mi track Friday for a Street Car Shootout.
It was hot and it was humid. I could only manage a best of 8.35et/84.08mph and my best 60ft time was 1.85. This is on a 99 Convertible SS, with Lid/LongTubes/Catback/Stall/Nittos. No weight reduction other than spare tire removal. Is this decent? I was expecting better times. It was my first time to the track and it was pretty fun except they were switching the lights from protree to normal. It had me all jacked up. Therefore some of my reaction times were pretty crappy.

Since it was your first time at the track you may not know, reaction time has no effect on ET.

Mine went 8.73 at 82.3mph with a 2.07 60' last weekend. Mines almost stock except for 160 thermo, fan switch, ported tb, lid, filter. It was hot as hell here but my track is at 200'. You mph sounds a bit low unless your at a fair altitude.
