I saw a 99+ GT run 16's. It was fucking great.

Not once, but TWO times. Fucking Mustangs

Cool. Like I said, the car ran completely different than it does on the street, which I'm not understanding. It's a turd though.

Wasnt your mustang gonna show my tpt firebird its taillights too?

It was just funny because I know Shawn was running like ass, but he killed that GT both times. Twas good times.

On another note there were 3 LS1's out there all of them A4's and all of them tearing shit up.

One was running high 11's the other low 12's and the other low 13's (with just a catback).

Last night was shitty, couldn't get the DR's to do a damn thing I get better 60's on street tires, stalling it all the way, heating them, and still felt as though they were bogging or they would wheel hop. I spun into 2nd most of the night as well.

My best was:

2.12 60'

Stock LS1's last night both M6 and A4 were in the 13.8-14.2 range all night. Although there weren't any SRT's.
