MTI LId, Pacesetter OR LT's, ORY-pipe, cutout, pro 5.0. SHITTY tires. The track is prepped pretty well and has the largest legal downslope. Temp is supposed to be 65-70 and sunny, probably somewhat humid.
Im hoping 12.8@111 or so. It will ultimately depend on traction.

with stock tires and suspension you are probably close on that guess.

Low 13.0s unless you get better tires, and launch hard.

Well, low 13s and high 12s are only a tenth or two different, he may be able to get down to the 12.80s it all depends, it is very hard telling someone what they will run due to the fact I have no idea what kind of driver he is.

Well I ended up with a best of 13.4 @ ~108 on a 1.85 60'. I dicked up my 2-3 shift though. I have some issues to work out though. My clutch pedal would stick to the floor after every run, and the car is untuned with 6 codes. I also would spin through all of 2nd gear. If I would have nailed my 2-3 shift it would have been close to 12's. I also pulled a 13.5@108.5 with a 2.4 60'. It was my first time at the track though. When I get a clutch, some tires, and a tune it will go 12's easy. I could also use some more practice. For comparison sake, there was an 03-04 Cobra running that managed a best of 13.5@~111. He was on nitto drag radials, and was having bad traction problems too.
