nah N/A's the way to go if it's ur only car or if it's 10 years old like mine
Tho if you have a daily driver and a new PI stang w/ lots of dough why not? maybe that's 10 years into my furutre
- but college owns ur money supply

okay bad driver/street tires/tight suspension=13.118@107mph with 2.051 60' best run.
I figure with more practice, drag radials/wheels, lca's,alum driveshaft=12.5,12.6 waddya think?

mid 12 second car with traction, low 12s possible with suspension mods and good driving. the previous owner of my car went 13.2 @ 108 with a 2.2 60' on his first and only ever pass down the track. said he was granny shifting too. only mods are the Mongoose kit and 3.73s with 18" rims/tires.
Traction out of the hole is non existent, 2nd gear is only moderately better. grrr....tg the season is almost over...gives me a lot of time to save up for all the crap I need to run well next year!
Thanks Helty...its good to have an idea of what to expect

like I said, his first and only ever trip down any track, granny shifting, and he beat an 04 Cobra with a 2.2 60'.

Not saying I will do any better my first time down the track with it, but theres at least .5-.7 left in it as is.

im not calling it a cobra killer, but neither car was driven to its full potential. Just making the point that they're ( Mongoose equipped 2V's) mid-12 second cars if driven well.nwapache said:

Should be easy 12.5 on drag radials ASSUMING that you can drive. I ran a 12.56@108 with my MT et street radials and SUPER stiff cobra suspension - so stiff I had to granny shift into second and third or else I would spin w/ the whole no weight transfer thing! Also I was only running a 3.55 gear, and it sorta sucked cause I shifted into 4th about 300RPM too early because I was nervous as the guy behind me was closing in (he ran a 12.4 but my superior launching skrillz left me winning by .3 hah).
With the solid axle i'm swapping in (MM XD control arms, panhard bar, coilovers - torque arm later this winter) I'm hoping for 12.0's on DR's and 11.5's on slicks.

Heh yeah, somebody with 100% otherwise stock GT ran 11's with just base mongoose kit and slicks. It's over on MPH somewhere! Anway, I ran 12.77@112 on 245/45/17 street tires

2.0's on street tires, 1.8's on drag radials (not so great, i blame it on the stiff suspension we'll see in a few weeks though)... My reaction times are pretty good though, .020 is my average, few times dipped down to .001 though 
If I had enough traction to be able to powershift into and out of second I figure that would help me a few tenths. And if I had more gear I could stay in the power band when shifting into 4th a bit easier, instead of having to nearly hit the rev limiter in third lol

Makes me wonder what the heck i'm doing wrong, to get such crappy times...what rpm are you shifting at?
