New best time!

I got it down a bit to a 13.3@110 2.152-60'

http://members.***.net/mardi2/Mardi13_3at110.mpg

Still no 12's

Drags were hooking good and I danced on the launch and second gear shift. This pass was with the nitrous also. I still need to work on the shifting with the nitrous, I miss the power band some times.

Way to go Matt!!! That's freaking incredible. I'm gonna try and get a personnal best tonight out at a different track which is supposedly .3 quicker.

BTW, I'm still trying to get some work down in the N.O. area. Hope to meet you soon.

Great time & trap!

I guess I can see how you're disappointed at not hitting 12s yet. Running in the low 13s like that is no small matter, still. That's C5 'Vette territory right there!

Matt,

I'm gonna show this to all my friends, especially my friend with the Lightning...

Do you think you could do better with Slicks?? Wouldn't that be a good idea to try them..maybe with them you can hit 12's...

I wish I could see the look on the people's faces when they see a family sedan run that time...you fill me with pride to be owning this car

Congrats on teh new time Matt!

Nice trap speed too! A nice meaty trap speed like that shows the true HP figures. If you notice that cars like a WRX can run a low 14 with a low 9X mph trap speed, it shows that car is all laucnhing and not so much HP.
