Took the mark to the strip for the first time tonight

[67Continental]

94, 101k miles, bone stock except no air silencer/reservoir, and sensor lowered.

Best ET: 14.975 @ 95.9 mph.

Best trap: 14.99 @ 97.3 mph.

Manual shifting usually saved me about 2 tenths - otherwise i was between 15.01 and 15.1. I ran 13 times, then figured I had beaten the car enough. I am scared to push the tranny too hard. I must say I am quite pleased with the car.

why do you guys manual shift your car, I have the j-mod and my shifts at redline every time and shifts hard, why would i need to manually do the same thing myself?

if you'll notice, i wrote that manually shifting my car saved me 2 tenths of a second. so that would be why.

also, I don't have the j mod. I'll be putting in a transgo later this summer.

Good job. I was going to take mine back to the strip tomorrow but they are calling for 5-8 inches of snow after being 85 earlier this week :Bang

 

[67Continental]

[67Continental]

Nice times, do you still have stock ignition (what wires and plugs do you have) and what were your 60 foot times?

 

[67Continental]

i sitll have stock iginition, and ford motorcraft plugs and wires. My 60 foot times are not all that good, hover around 2.200, 2.300.

my rt's are pretty sweet tho - 0.008 to 0.60.
