so i went to the track friday... first time racing my srt... i was not please with my results... and this is kind of embarrassing but im going to share it anyways...

r/t .175
60 ft 2.385
1/8 9.4
1/4 14.5
mph 96.4

keep in mind ive only had this car a few months, its stock, just exhaust intercooler and blow off... i launched it at about 2k, spun all first the bogged 2nd... the track wasnt preped very well from my opinion.. so dont be too harsh... i met some other srt drivers and they gave me some advise on my car... so that will all be fixed.... then i will take it to the track agian..

yeah you've definitley got some practicing to do with launching and shifting...my 1st time out at the track in my stock srt4 i did a 14.1 at 99 with a 2.2 60ft...i would say to launch your car roughly in between 2k and 2500 and slowly let the clutch out then when it grabs shift like a monster between each gear

lol thats funny i also had a mustang it was a 97 gt with intake, tune, exhaust and the best i could do in it was a 14.7....it was also an auto which im sure kinda slowed it down even more
