shaneb, I am assuming you mean 3000ft, not 300. That time is not that bad in my opinion. I have ran a best of 13.60 at sea level and a 14.00 at Palmdale. Two of my buddies with the same car are both in the same ballpark. I am running an aftermarket air filter and thats it. I have know there are some people who claim 13.3 stock but I have never seen it, and I've seen probably 10 of these cars run. Maybe they had some mods done before they bought the car and didn't know about it. Maybe they are running at a different track? below sea level? I only know what I have seen.

Guys, did you feel any difference in throttle response or acceleration with the ESP on and off?


Thanks,

shaneb, your 60ft looks good. I have noticed at lower alt. tracks you pick up more power but also more wheelspin because of it.

I do prefer the ESP off, we have had much better results.

I am sure many people have run 13.3's or better, maybe one of those factory high horspower cars that came off the assembly line with more power than the next. Two identical cars and one will always be faster. I just have never seen it from the ones I witnessed or maybe Palmdale is just a slower track?
