new best

[panther427]

Went to the track last night.  Got a new best time.  13.539.. and then ran a 13.538 both at 101.X
I'm sad and happy. I was really hopping to break into a 13.4 or 13.3.  But the da was at least 1000 feet higher than my last best of 13.57.

I'll update this post with a lot more info later today.

And here is a video from the stands

Good race,was that you chirping 2nd&3rd?

Well I'm listening to it on on phone so not sure.  The 1-2 shift I'm sure I could be. Into 3 though that hasn't happened before. But would be cool.

Stock I guess? Nice runs! I love the commentator saying: vs the grocery car lol!

Nice, panther!

No, he's tuned.  DA was probably around 8,000' last night.  Track sits at 5,800' elevation.

I'm sure stock 5.0 Stangs were in the 14's.  This is the track where they video tape Tesla S P's beating new Corvettes.  Those Teslas run mid 12's there since they take no hit with the thinner air.  A N/A engine is losing around 25% of it's HP here!

I'll be joining you next racing season after I get tuned in January.  Want a solid 6 months/12k miles of no issues before I potentially kill my warranty.

Unleashed tune
K&n panel filter
Ngk plugs
3 bar

Thanks! Since I didn't see your mods in your signature, with 13.5, I assumed it was stock, but it's true that altitude is a killer. My in-laws live in Mexico City at 7500ft. and Lambo Gallardo runs low 13's ; )

That altitude, like racing on the moon! Great runs Panther!

Finally for a bit more info.. The second video of me vs the Torino is actually the camera mans friend. That was the last race of the night and while staged he asked if i would race him so his friend could tape it and meet up after the race to talk to him..  Turns out he has a Lincoln MKT?? the luxury explore version and it is LMS tunned. Told me it ran 15 flat stock and 14.3 tuned. Invited him to join the site and all of that.. Really nice people.

And Poker monkey there was a BMW 335xi there and i talked to him. He had tune and intake and was running same sort of numbers as i was. 13.7 was his best at the point i spoke with him and right after that i ran a 13.6.

Then i talked to this lady in a CTS-V sedan.. Turns out the car is her friends. Her friends (also a lady) was really cool and let her run the car. Stock with stock tires and her best when i spoke with her was 13.6.

Oh and my car was at 4600 pounds... i had 3/4 fuel in it
