Just back from the track and finally broke into the 9's. First pass of the day and it ran sooo smooth and uneventful that I figured it was around a 10.3 or so but when I got the slip I about S***. Mods are in my sig.
8 lbs. boost with a 175 shot of nitrous, completely stock suspension, including shocks, drove the car to the track and back (28 mpg)

It pulls harder in the 1/8th based on his slip. He's picking up 26mph on the
big end. I pick up just over 30mph up top usually just for reference.

That is one badass ride! Looks of a show car, gas mileage of
an economy car, and performance of a race car.
