Well, not completely stock. Magnaflow catted x pipe and catback, ftbr bushings, flsfcs, and mt et streets. No pulley or intake or tune.

Best run was a 7.98 @ 90.29 mph with a 1.82 60ft. I was still bogging after launching around 4.5k, no spin or hop at all!! Tires were around 18psi. I know I could do even better with more practice, this was the first time out on these tires.

Other runs were a 8.1 @ 92.5 mph with a 1.88 60ft, another 8.1 run, and a 8.3 run. It was a lot of fun and its amazing what tires will do.

Congrats! I ran consistent 7.9x@90/91 Back when my car was a lowered, diff brace, shifter, cat-back, tire car. It dipped into the 7.8x's twice. I was on the MT ET Street radial though (275/40r17). Stock clutches are great until they get alot of launches on them and then the pulley=whats that smell! :beer: Congrats again!

Awesome! Glad to know I'm in the right range. I think I could squeeze out a 7.8 as well. We shall see in the future!

You should be moving pretty good after some practice. I went 8.02 @ 85 in my 99 cobra with cai gears x pipe and mufflers. 1.71 60ft

Went back to the same track with my friend, best was a 7.95 @ 88.32 mph with a 1.88 60'

Next best was a 7.97 @ 90.00 mph with a 1.83 60'

Third was fighting me, I was shifting in to it pretty slowly. I'm sure that hurt me a hundredth or so. I was really hoping for a 7.8x but just wasn't going to happen.

My friend broke his rear end on his 5th run :( had to get it towed
