Default first time at the track with my new TA..????????

well, I just bought my new (well new to me) 2000 Trans Am A4 w/ 3.23's and only 20K on the clock. the car was bone stock when I bought it, but I just did the FRA and still running paper filter and goodyear eagle RS-A's.
when I launched the car, I push off soft, then go WOT... here are my times. What do you think?
BTW, it was hot and humid too.

60' 2.052
330 5.791
1/8 8.805
MPH 82.18
1000 11.401
1/4 13.600
MPH 101.94


the only thing that I am woundering about is the MPH, shouldnt the MPH be about 103 for a 13.6 pass???
FYI, I ran 13.6x all day... very consistant car

Looks pretty normal to me. You should gain some MPH with better weather.

looks good to me, my 2000 formula ran a 13.47 at 103.5 best with a 2.06 60 foot on the goodyear gc-s in september air, which is in the 60-70 degree range. Unfortunately the car already had a K & N when I bought it (used) but I'd be happy with those times for stock. Now get modding!
