What times are you guys seeing at the track?

I only have a 1/8th mile local to me (7 minutes away). There is one GT500 out there that is running 7.90's if I recall right. I think he has an exhaust, pulley and a tune with bigger DR's in the back. I figured they be a bit fasters. The trap speeds are to far off from what E/T is. I want to say just in to the 90mph range.

I've got a friend running mid 12's with a pulley, intake, tune and DR's. Keep in mind this is at 6,000 feet elevation. Not too shabby...and he's a newbe to racing.

With those mods I figured high 11's or low low 12's

My thoughts too... but at altitude with someone relatively new to racing, I can see those being reasonable...

I've only been to the track once. I had some little ol' 275/40-17 M/T ET Streets that wouldn't hook. The DA was about 3600' and the rain was coming fast. Here's the vid of my Tuner making the best ET pass of the day and a couple time slips are attached. Keep in mind, I work out of the country and have only spent a total of 8 weeks with the cars since I picked it up in Dec of '06. Everytime I come home I have to learn how to drive it all over again.

Let me know what ya think.

At sea level, he'd be in low 12's / high 11's for sure. Elevation sucks.
