[QUOTE="black92, post: 15706537, member: 37980"] The values on the MKS/SHO have tanked lately and IMO, they are underappreciated cars. The only complaint I have about mine other than not being a cornering monster are the brakes. That's easily fixed by upgrading to the 2013+ brakes and master cylinder (all a direct swap). I have only spent $600 in mods. Next and last on the list will be catted down-pipes which should improve the top end pull and put me solidly into the 12's. This was the guys first time out and he started off running 13.9's. After he dropped to a 13.0 is when I asked if he wanted to run because it would be a fun race. He did end up running a 12.93 later that night and he is a pretty big guy himself. I have no doubt that he can push it a little faster once he gets more seat time. That's moving! 1.8 60ft is very solid and you must have had decent track prep! My best was a 1.9, but the trans refused to go into second, so I backed off and didn't try launching hard again. I only launched around 1800 rpm and it struggled even then to find traction and it didn't help any that I had around 35lbs in the tires. My thought was to run the car as if I were to pull up to a stop light on the street. [/QUOTE]
