I bet with a few more runs she would have gone faster.
It took me about 7 to 8 runs (in Moroso fla) to run a 13.2 108 - stock with a lid.
It was after a long cool down. Was doing 13.5's. I would have loved to hit a 12.9 stock.
Gotta love thoes new z06's doing 11.7's stock.

not bad at all, in better air in a couple months, you should be in the 13.2xs with a 1.9x or or low 2.0x 60'.

Not bad, but you can def do better . The last time I went to atco, I ran a bunch of 12.9s hitting a best of 12.91 @ 108.57 w/ 1.9 60ft. At the time, my mods were a lid/loudmouth/cai. I was on street tires and the good ole 2.73s Just stick to it, and you'll get some better times.

Nice looking car by the way if it were a hard top i would have made you an offer to buy it.
thanks man. did you see that quick 8 mustang lose control and almost crash like 8 times, each time missing the wall by inches? that was the most amazing show of driving skills i've ever seen. he must have spun out at 150 mph!
