Easy 9s, not even a question. Your trap speed is crazy. You're quicker than a Veyron in the quarter mile 
The SLR that did 9.7 has a lower trap speed than you.
Then you can forget about 9s. I know manual is fun to drive and is "more involving" *eyes rolling* but it's slower when it comes to drag racing. These engines just aren't right with a manual gearbox. Imagine a manual Veyron. Not even Lewis Hamilton could shift faster than an auto.

Enough with the handies already...lettuce be real.
Until you can post some legitimately inflated dyno numbers, or report which speed you can flash the TC light...la de frickin' da.
You probably haven't even tinted your head lights yet.

Congrats on the times! Put some slicks on it to band-aid the suspension issues and you will get your 9 easily. Or you may have to run brand new DR's and even that could be hit or miss because of how a DR wants to be hit on the line. Or, add 100 lbs in the trunk. The 60 ft improvement will make up for the additional weight.

Ahmad and I are friends. We are both pushing the 55 platform to a new level. Both in very different ways. I give him a lot of credit, especially after all he's been through with his car. And when he gets his 9.6 pass, it will be well worth everything. And I still wouldn't be mad.
