Default don't know what to think??

temp in the 80's 100% humidity(they closed the track early because of fog)
The best I could muster was:
RT : .113
60' 1.88
330' 5.186
1/8 7.864 @92.03
990 10.080
1/4 12.03 @ 119.85

I thought I'd at least be in the elevens??

100 percent humidy with 80 degree weather would have hte potential to slow the car down as much as a half a second.

just being on thes safe side of estimation, you would have gone at least 11.80's at 121 or so even on that same 1.88 sixty foot if the weather was more ideal.

119mph is more than enough to get you into the 11's, what launch rpm were you hitting? Most M6 cars with power launch from 5000-6000 rpms.

I feel for you. I have been fighting electrical gremlins and not had good weather. The best I have done this year in in my sig. I think I found the electrical problems. The shop that did the H/C package did not reattach the O2 grounds or the block ground on the driver's side head.

Looking for better weather and better times.
