Default 1/4 MILE TRACK TIMES!

Went 14.24@95.35 with a 2.056 60' time today in pretty good air. The RT has about 2500 miles on it. Took it on a 800 mile trip last week and got over 22 mpg in combination driving. This thing rocks! I can kick some mustang butt too!. My 95 LT1 corvette went 13.80 on it's first run. I'm not too far behind in a 4100 pound heavyweight. People everywhere love it! Mine was first the Magnum ever at our drag strip! Race on Sunday and work on Monday is really true for me! It's my company car!!!!! Ben.

I'll bet with some practice you could break the 1.90 mark at the 60' and dip into the high 13's. At 95MPH you should be in the 13's, did you have any spin issues or a late light maybe?

My times were 14.61 @97 mph! weather was about 85 degress with humidity, at an elevation of 1900 ft. best 60 ft was 2.12!
I had about 2200 miles on mine. ESP turned off, no wheel spin, launching at about 1900 rpm. Shifts were lacking any kind of crispness, which I intend on fixing with a shift kit, or some sort of programming (when it become available).
YTMV!

Our local track is about 30' above sea level. The fastest here have been a 300C (14.50's), Magnum R/T (14.60's). Both these cars were well broken in, and the 300 was driven by a guy that races a big block Chevelle. It looks like those are representitive times for well tuned stock cars.

No wheel spin at all. Launched at about 1000 rpm to flash the converter. Tried loading the converter too but no difference.
