First time on the strip....

[IGO 202]

Ran the Mustang last evening at our local 1/8th mile track. I run my bike and big block Malibu (auto) when I can but haven't made a pass with a straight shift in 40 years.

Stock Pirelli M&S all-seasons but the track is prepped pretty good, especially for the DR and slick guys.

Best out of three was a 1.92 60' , 8.12 @ 92.5mph. I think with some seat time & cooler air I'll break in the 7's. Wish there was a quarter mile track nearby.

Had a good time for sure!

Where at? I'm looking for a good track around here I'm never off on Thursdays to go to thunder valley and the only other course near me is terrible. Thanks

Crossville, TN (I-40 Dragway).

We never have good runs at Bristol on the bikes due to the track not hooking for street nights.

I-40 would be a long drive for you, it's over an hour for us but they do prep the track.

mid 12's at 117+mph...not bad , what are the mods?

get the 60' down and could go 11's

 

[IGO 202]

I don't believe I can get my 60's down too much more with my factory tires. I just dry hopped to clean them off, maybe with some more time I can get in the 1.80's with them.

I've installed a Boss I/M, C&L CAI, Steeda X-pipe w/ cats, GT 500 mufflers, Bama tune & 3:73 gears. I lowered the car with H&R springs and bought a set of LCA but haven't installed them yet.....the car didn't wheel hop.

I run M/T Street ET Radials on my Malibu all the time and love them but the 'Stang is the wifes DD and I don't wanna fool with switching tires for the track. Was just curious what it would run as she drives it everyday, I'd be pleased with high 7's as it sits and the car will do it if I can!

Just trying to make sure she's one of the fastest grandmothers in town. :-D

Yeah, 1.9 60 ft is really good for stock tires

Pretty good times . I ran a [email protected] on stock tires with almost the same mods I had a 1.94 60" with a 7.95@92mph in the 1/8

THIS. 1.92 60' is amazing on the stock tires. I've never been quicker than 1.95 on the stock Pirelli's. Nicely done, sir!
