Bone stock GT 1/4

I went to the track for the first time last week,
This is my second car, and my first time launching a RWD car.
The car is bone stock

17" Factory wheels.

R/T: .695
60" 2.4
1/8: 9.4
1/8 MPH: 77.15
1000: 12.176
1/4: 14.45
@ 100.69 MPH

About the night: it was about 75 degrees out, and the track was about a 45 minute drive. It wasn't all that humid. I ran 100.4-.6 or so MPH consistantly, that is very high IMO- i never knew mustangs trapped that high on a quarter mile.

I beat everything i ran that night, including a turbo Hatch civic, and A GTO ON DRAG RADIALS haha- i isht you not.

What are these cars suppose to run? From what i've heard, the 1/4 i ran is what NON PI 4.6 run

The problem i have is that i get like NO weight transfer, even my friend who was on the side was like 'wtf, your car has like no squat when you take off" And i'm launching at like 2600 RPMs and full throttle in like 2 seconds. I remember, when i had my factory springs, i would feel the car squat and i could get a quick glimpse upwards, now after the Sportlines, its like the car stays there really rigid and just spins the tires.

Thats what I figured.

Right now, i'm running stock shocks, if i get adjustable shocks, and put the front and rear to the lowest setting, would i get more weight transfer than i am now?

Also, i'm running 17" wheels. Will going to the factory wheels that came with it, ( i think they were 15 or 16?) make a noticable diffrence in the 1/4?

Well, i think i already do need the shocks and struts. They aren't blown yet, but everytime i go over a bump, the car will bounce higher than it should. I doubt its because the struts are blown, because they feel stiff, rigid and they dont shift weight or anything when i brake. I believe its because they are extending past their intended design. The bounce (for example, when driving over metal ridges on bridges) is severe enough to make me cough or spill my morning coffee.


A question about drag radials, This is my DD, i dont really feel like having to rebuild a diffrential as i dont have the time with school and all, and i always manage to screw builds up.

If i get Drag Radials, and i DONT do a burn out, will they still grab the same or better than regular summer or all season tires? i ask because i want 305 35 18s for my FR500s when i get them, but i can only get them in drag radials, and i dont want them if i get WORSE traction with them if i dont do a burn out.

Well, no ofcourse i didn't drop the clutch. I slipped it for a bit till i felt i'd have traction.

Part of the problem is that i cant hear my damn exhaust. I've got like 20 cars behind me revving their engines, some A hole in a honda doing a burnout on my 6, and the guy next to me is bouncing off his rev limiter, and i'm sitting there with my stock exhaust.

So the drag radials have to be warmed up or they're worse than street tires? I wanted them because the tire size i want is only found in DR !

Ahh OK.

What about BFG Drag Radials with out being warmed up, do they hook better or atleast as well as street tires?

I really don't want to have to do a burn out.. really, i want them for size reasons more than anything.

Also, how is 14.45 for a 1/4 on a new edge? what would a good driver run?
