this was at an admittedly slower track (it is sort of uphill, lol) and i rode the brakes just a touch at the end (was bracket racing), I broke out anyways
It would probably run a 7.45ish/11.60ish at any level 1/4mile track. I will be at the track again this sat with a lot of new goodies, and hopefully a video/sound clip by Monday.

There was about 8-9K miles on the topend at that point. I did uncork the exhaust and pull a little extra weight to get the 11.9, but that was because I made a couple 12.0 passes through the full exhaust at about 4200lbs, when you are that close you would jump through a couple hoops to make the 11 happen too.

That was last fall at Great Lakes Dragaway which is 150 miles from my door and the first day I was told the front tire was getting air.
The other end of the spectrum was 12.8 at 105.6 with this car in 105F degree heat in June at Gateway International with big street rubber in front(58lbs each), swaybars hooked up, just drive it 500 miles bolt on the slicks and run, DA was said to be 4000ft. by the bracket guys with weather stations. Definetely worst case senario at least for the midwest.
Normal performance for the car falls in between those times depending on weather and preparation.
Power seats, AC, ABS all there. This is a true daily driver spring through fall, I wont park it till mid november or so, it is NOT a good car for snowey travel, other than that it is great.
First day the wife went down the strip she came within hundredths of my ET, the car is just point and shoot.
