Sometimes it takes me days to go a quarter mile. It all depends on the weather. Lately, my "top" time to the 1/4 mark is 12 days (honeymoon; didn't take the P-car). Now in the winter, I've gone for as long as two months - but it was really hard - I wouldn't push myself that hard again.

...Wait, did you mean our lowest times?

uhhh, if i recall, he said post your best quarter mile times. not, do you take your car to the drag strip or not. if you don't want to run the quarter mile, this post obviously from the title, isn't for you. so why post.

Last motor with 70 hp less than I have now, I raced a saleen mustang that did consistent mid 11's. I beat him by about two car lengths. I would like to think my car on perfect conditions would do high 10's. I burnt the hell out of my clutch doing it and I don't have that motor anymore so with my new driveline I don't know and I don't want to find out. Learning from your mistakes is a learning experience. Repeated mistakes become your stupidity. I've been borderline stupid too many times. Tryin' hard to reform.

If I keep the car, I'm going to buy a clutchless tranny and go Motec. Easy ten second car.

13.4 right after i bought the car. Prolly go mid 12's now with a mass air kit who knows. Put 2 cars on a Z06 vette and barely beat (half a car)a nitroused 01 SS camaro. The new turbo etc really helped out.
