Went with my Mustang buddy,to try and get his 2007 GT,into the deep 13's. We went to the old,historic,Richmond Dragway. Place hasn't changed much,since 1965!
Traction was hard to find with the manual trans cars,especialy his with the well used Nitto DR's and 4.10 gear.He had these way to short,25 inch diameter tires,which gave him a calculated 4.33 gear ratio! But they were free!
Anyway best for him was a 13.84 at 102. Saw a 2008 Challenger SRT 6.1 go a best of 14.01 at 100. Didn't seem as if he was having too much traction trouble,it is just a big boat! Guy didn't look too happy!
Then there were the little import pocket rockets,running a lot of boost,going insane 11.50's at 120!! As fast as they are,they just don't look or sound, muscle like, going down the track.
OH the best run,was the guy in the black Z-06 Vette,that went a 13.75!! The Starter official had to beat on his fender,to tell him to go! Had a 40 second reaction time!!!
