Default OSW tonight with some buds..

I went with some friends tonight because I've been wanting to race my buddy's 05 GT and this is how it turned out

Mine:
R/t: .470
60': 2.710
1/4: 14.938
MPH: 98.95

I spun like a BITCH.. I need DR's


Him:
R/T: .551
60': 1.968
1/4: 14.000
MPH: 96.62

We're gonna go again soon.. I really think I can take him.

Your first 1/4 timeslip looks like my first 1/4 timeslip. I was up in the 2.6-2.7x range for my 60 foots, and ran like 14.7@105mph.

Judging by your mph, some drag radials should get you in the 14.0 to 14.20 range with around a 2.0 sixty foot. Is your car stock?
