[QUOTE="Spiney, post: 13216163, member: 140141"] It was our first time out and I let my wife drive 3 out of the 4 passes. Had a blast, can't wait to go back and reduce our times. Best time was 14.8 @ 97.9mph. I know the car can do much better, it's the drivers. No problem with traction, but then the most we launched at was 3000. My wife was having a hard time getting into 3rd, I then realized she was running it into the red, about 7500. Once we backed off her shifts to 6500 she dropped from 15.5 to 14.8. Previous owner said he ran it 13.4 at same track. Muscle Mustangs and Modified Fords mag from 1996 test of the 96 Cobra had a best of 13.9 on street tires and 13.4 on slicks stock. I think the Superchip eliminates the cutoff so I'm glad she didn't do any damage to the car. I will take the Superchip out and try the various BAMA tunes next time out. Best part is wife is hooked. Makes me want to buy a strip only Mustang just for fun and see what happens. No one stalled or red lighted from our group of about 10 members from out Mustang Club that night. Best time was a member who ran 12.4 in a Fox convertible with a Stroker. He can't run anymore until he installs a rollcage. Thanks for the tips, open to more. Dave [/QUOTE]
