everyone could use an upgrade! lol although, i'm more interested in straight line. so just a drop, trailing arms/bushings is all i'm worried about right now. and lightweight 18"s and some nice rubber.

yeah, on midnight mayhem, where they let any street car on the track, and don't prep it.

best i could do was 13.8, which corrected to 13.2. it was my first time. i think my 60' was 2.2. i think i can get down to 13.5, which should bring me down to the 12's, corrected.

Oh..that's alot of MPH. I use to run my 4th gen all the time, but haven't been to the track with the 5th gen. Hopefully this fall when it cools off I'd like to get to the track & see what it will do.

I use to go all the time. It's a bunch of fun. We've got 2 tracks by me they have 'Test'n Tune' they call it. Pay $20 & make as many runs as you want, all day/night. It's a blast to get a bunch of buddies & go.

they have a test n tune here as well, except i think it's $25-35. When i get all the mods i want done, i'll go to that.

mine is a daily driver, so i don't want to go too extreme, to where it's not driveable. lol i just plan on those suspension mods i listed before and the rims/tires. And i want a nitrous/street friendly cam, nitrous, long tubes, and intake, and tune and i think i'll be good.

without nitrous, i want to be at 490-500whp, then a progressive shot of 150 shot to get me to 650whp. which i hear is about as much power you want to make, before needing a better fuel pump and forged internals.

i'll be happy with anything in the 600whp range with nitrous. so i may just go with a 100shot.
