"Where do you guys get this stuff?" It is called experience. And mine includes drag racing a 670 HP manual transmission Mustang on radials, DR and slicks. A car at this power level is a handful to drive and VERY difficult to get consistent ETs from. With a manual trans it is even harder to do.
You should re-read my post I did not say the someone could not ever run a good ET with a stock car... What I said was that it would be hard to do it consistently... I have highlighted the important parts. I even noted that the ZL1 with bigger tires, more sophisticated suspension / electronics and less power running through and automatic transmission has a hard time running the same ET everytime.
BTW If my credentials are not good enough you could always look the "The Baron"....who I was agreeing with.

Might want to note he beat a modded GT500 that with slicks and suspension was "only" running 10s.

BTW the best mod these cars can have is the "driver mod". |
The car the baron ran was not a 2013 or even the aluminum block 5.4, so I don't see how that is relevant. So again, what is this "number" you guys are talking about? If 9s on stock suspension isn't a number. . . What is this elusive number? I responded to Baron originally. The discussion was never about bracket racing it was about individual ETs.
