quarter mile times?
im going to run my 430 down the strip...
what sort of times can i expect for the standard car?
also will have added eisenmann exhaust (race 2 x 83) uprated ecu (superchips) and k+n elements?
am i going to worry the evo6 brigade?
any other "go faster tips" ? (apart from stealing mach430's ride)

I've been to the track a bunch of times, but the numbers vary greatly because of altitude, temperature, etc.
I think my best run was a 14.5 @ 96mph or something like that.
After trying a million different combinations to launch the car, my fastest runs have always been with the tranny in "D" (4 doesn't help), with ESP ON. Rev to 1400-2000rpm, whatever you can before the tires start breaking loose (usually ~1700 for me), and just nail it when the time comes
. Have fun!

thanks for the advice...
what fuel you running?
we have 98 octane over here..but does it make any difference?

Sadly, we here in California have been reduced to using 91 octane- in most places it's the highest you can buy 
. We used to have 92....
I know it's a lot more expensive in Europe, but it still must be nice to get such high octane
