Newb: "how fast am I?"
I hate asking "how fast would I be in the 1/4?", but I'm married, so it's damn near impossible for me to spend $15 and 3 hours on a friday going to a TNT session and night doing something that I want to do.
My car is a 1994 M6 camaro with 70K miles. It has a K&N intake with a moroso polished elbow, a flowmaster catback, and 3.73 rear gears. I have a set of MT drag radials, but I would still probably only cut a 2.0 60'. I live pretty close to sea level.
Any speculation? I would love to run a 13.99, but the car just seems to fall on it's face at 5000rpm.

If you can hook there's no reason you shouldn't be in the 13s if the car is running well.

fyi you should be able to cut 1.7x-1.8x pretty easily with the MT tires and a little practice.
