Went to the track and my 06 GT ran a best of 13.73@101mph. The first run was a 13.89@100.17 which I was very happy with. I was expecting a low 14 in the high 90s. The second was the 13.73@101.39. The third was a 13.93 @100.00. I left the traction control on and manually shifted from 1st-3rd. The Car bogs off of the line until about 3500 rpm and then really pulls hard. The only mods so far is a CAI from C&L. I ran 87 octane. 60' were in the 2.15 range. Yes it an Automatic

Question, how the hell did you manage to manushift it that well? Every time i try to manushift it ends up taking about 2-3 seconds to complete the shift. Obviously im doing something wrong. <grin> |

Take traction control off and spin the rocks off them pirellis. Brake torque the car and give it the beans. you might lower it 1/10 or 2/10. all in all, great numbers for basically a stock mustang!

The track was prepped pretty good. Everything from 1500hp to stock cars was hooking. That last run was against a Turbo Supra (damn him). The 60 and 330' could have been better. I noticed that my car bogs until about 3500 rpm.

Yeah I see some consitancy in the runs where you had trac-on and off.....take trac-off all the time do not manu-shift since you have street tires spin your tires just enough to get the crap off maybe drop the tire pressure a wee bit and you'll be set to ge. Good runs though, but your done experimenting...lol no more of that.

I dont know how the weather is by you but get them pirellis at 31 PSI warm, and burn them tires up in front of the water pit. I have the same tires but in a different size. If its a nice day like 75 or up, them tires will turn sticky. Keep out of the water with them as much as possible.
On mine, I get in front of the water pit, and spin the rocks off, back up a tad bit, and ROAST the tires all the way to the tree. |

you dont need to heat street tires at all just a few secs to clean off the rubber is all thats needed.

I noramly go around the water (ever car without skinnys up front should also do this) then rev it up dump the clutch let them spin for a few secs press in the clutch and stage. This was back when i had street tires and cut many 2.0x on stock good year rubber.

ha, yeah, I ran a quick supra once at the track, the guy couldn't hook worth a darn. He had a 2.3 60' to my 1.9 and I had a bit better RT, about halfway down the track I hear what sounds like a jet plane go flying by me... lol
he beat me pretty good (pre blower)
