Oh sure, rub it in.TweekedGT said:Yesterday it was 18C outside here in Medicine HatIt was awesome!!! I still haven't parked the stang. I can't bring myself to do it with weather like this. I just got my Nitto 555R's on Friday and ordered my Magnaflow catback and Mac Straightshot today. I hope the snow stays away until I can get this stuff and take the wagon for a rip or two. Anybody else still lucky enough to be driving their stang? (watch this, we'll get a foot of snow just because i opened my big fat mouth.)

Hey Tweeked, what elevation is your local track? I'm thinking your up a little higher than where I am which will effect your times, but with those Nittos, I think that beast of yours is going to create some very nice timesTweekedGT said:CanadaStang hows the car running? It looks like your putting down some awesome times. I wish mine was running 14.1. I can't seem to get traction, thusly i bought Nitto Dr's, hopefully that will help. How is your Superchip? Do you like it? Does it work well with our headswaps or did you have to get it custom tuned at a speed shop? I really need something. I haven't been able to get mine dyno tuned. Do you notice any extra ponies with the chip? Sorry about the barrage of questions. I just see that your car looks to be running awesome and i'd like to see mine get there.
Ya, I was thinking your elevation there was around that, [we're at 1050ft] so that would have a lot to do with the higher times. I would guess those snazzy new tires will lower your times by 2-3 tenths, or more. If I was to run you on your track, I would bet that I would be able to give details on what the back of your car looks like as it's pulling away.TweekedGT said:Our track is about 2400 feet above sea level. My 60ft's have been terrible. I'm usually running 2.24+. I have tried everything but the track prep is usually pretty bad here. I used to dump the clutch at 2000 rpms but spun into and through second. Now i just feather it off the line until the car starts moving and then hammer the gas. That's how i get my best times.I haven't been power shifting either so that might improve my times. It's just so darn hard on the clutch. Oh well we'll see what happens. I'm really hoping I can get my drags on before the snow flies. I want to see what they can do. It sucks living where drag race season ends so early. Now i have to wait until April or May to see how the extra components work. I really want a Superchip though to straighten out the power band and maybe up my rev limiter. It seems to hit pretty low, about 6200rpm's. I guess I'll spend the winter spending money and upping the horse. It never seems fast enough does it? Well, take it easy, go give your pony a hug now that it's parked.
I'm going to beat mine up for a few more days hopefully. Ciao.
Congrats on the new carninetyfiveGT said:I'm going to be driving mine all winter. I'm only 19 so I only have one car. This will be my first winter with this car, my old car got totalled that week Edmonton got our first snowfall. Some chick crossed into my lane and wrote it off. But now I have my Stang so I'm happy.
