What a day at the track!

Let me just say that I finally broke the 15 sec 1/4 mile and I'm very happy. the day started like this:

Temp: 81 Degrees (Not the 50s that was expected)
R/T: .633
60': 2.417SEC
330: 6.642
1/8: 10.043
MPH: 72.54
1000: 12.985
1/4: 15.466
MPH: 90.96

Needless to say I was
But this is how the day ended

Temp: 89 Degrees
R/T: .197
60': 2.325
330: 6.399
1/8: 9.707
MPH: 74.60
1000: 12.565
1/4: 14.977
MPH: 93.44

Can you say I'm happy, All this stock. Last time I was there (Gainesville FL) my best time was 15.1...1/4 mile and at 50 plus degrees so I can say that This time I was more relaxed and knew what I needed to do. Also the first numbers are in full auto mode, the last ones are gate shifting and I must say you get the best out of the car in this mode all because the first gear will be able to hit red line and with SS you can't. All in all was a fun day and better than that is that I know everything in the drivetrain is working better than ever. Hey I'm in the 14+ sec 1/4 mile club now.

Nice work. I ran a 15.2@90 stock, 15.0@92 w/ CAI, and 14.5@99 w/ headers.

Now that you have a good baseline, start modding.

Actually 14.8 and only if you are lucky and if you can match the same conditions that they have when tested.
