Not too bad for your first time out, work on that launch and you will be running high 8s in the 8th mile.

The 60's are whats killing you.
Your MPH is good for a few tenths lower, just get that 60 down.

The times posted are for the 02. How slow can you be, hahahaha. How I wish the 87 would run that good...for me at least. I expect ... lo-14s from the 87. The only real mod to the car is 373s, it had 273s originally. After I run the 87, a friend is going to help me with weight reduction. I don't have the $$ to build a motor, so why not flip the coin over and make the thing lighter? I'll post my times next month. I can't wait.
