I'm gonna say mid to high 9's...also depends where you live, how well the track is prepped, and what the weather is like that day.

Dumping the clutch at 3k is pretty much guaranteed wheel spin with stock suspension and stock size street tires. My best 60' was from slipping the clutch around 2500 and I pulled a 1.9 60' on 245/45/17 BFG KDW's. That was stock suspension without my gears.

Ran 9.2's with your T-bird? That is reasonable. Your mustang should hook up better...the T-bird is supercharged.

high 8's, low 9s.... in good air, if you can drive.

See sig for my 97, thats with stock 2.73 gears, not 3.73's. I had drag radials, but the Ive cut similar(1.98) 60fts on street tires. My car didnt have enough gear to really put the drag radials to use.

My 98 went 9.18 with just gears and a KN on street tires.

learn to slip the clutch, you will see 2.0's with street tires. Dont dump it. The 3.27's are going to hurt you because your going to be shifting to 3rd gear right before you cross the traps. Also, Id shift the car close to 6k. The PI intake breaths better up top.

Id throw a mid pipe and timing adjuster(250 bucks total) on the car. you will gain a solid 2 tenths and 1.5-2mph in the 1/8, and should def be in the 8's if you are not already. Also, take that cold air kit off and put a kn on the car.

Yep thats with 5% OD stock gears and bald tires.. and its 4200lb's! now i've got 20% blower OD 255lph fuel pump and 42# injectors so im hopping for mid/low 8's still looking for a new maf for it.. Got new tires on her too... One day i'll get a lintech VB and some gears for that mofo..


Anyways... So you all are saying that a K&N drop in is better than a CAI?? its a JLT knockoff intake.. does alot better than stock.. Filter is in the inner fender.. I need a midpipe.. My clutch is getting replaced before too long and when i do it im putting in a OR H pipe (no smog here) The mustang FEELS alot faster than the t-bird because of the size/wieght/5speed tranny but i knwo that it would murder the stang on the open road.. Where the mustang gets up to 100 real fast but after that drags balls the T bird keeps pulling just as hard.

9.3-9.4 until you learn the car.

Weather/track alt has lots to do with it as well

If weather is good and things go well--willing to give it a shot on the 23rd? I think the little auto that could might do some surprising
