Pretty normal 1/4 time?

[slo98gt]

So I went to the track about 2 weeks ago and ran a 14.39 @97mph in my 98 gt......only mods=3.73 gears. Is that a pretty normal time? Plus I have B.F Goodrich G-Force kdws which also hook up pretty good. Any input would be great. Thanks

uhhh are you sure thats all you got??? thats a damn good time

 

[slo98gt]

Thats what I thought.....but I wasnt real sure. It kinda surpised me. Cause all I ever hear is mid to high 14's usually

 

[Lightning Struck]

your mph is just a few above what stock would be, and your time isn't unheard of........its just not common for a NPI 2 valve to run that good. You have a strong car for sure

 

[slo98gt]

Thanks...That was just one run tho I was consistent 14.4-14.45's. It is put away for the winter tho with the p.i. swap. vt stage 2 cams. and oh yeah a vortech sc. off my buddys friends car. its going back to stock. All of it...1400 bucks

That's normal to me. I ran a 14.5 with no mods. So you are on the right track!

i dunno about normal, must be a extreamly good driver with dam near perfect conditions :-\ i was only running times like that with my mods in sig, but i'm not the best racer and the conditions weren't great either so who knows, but good job by the way :thumb:

 

[Lightning Struck]

yea its not what is typical of a non PI stang, I would call those cars with those times factory freaks, its VERY impressive 8)

my quickest time is a 15.01...with full exhaust and intake...but i had a really shitty 60' and couldnt get any traction and on 18s, i think i did too much of a burnout and cause my tires to be slippery...it was my first time, i was an uber noob... :'( :'(

 

[ALITL8]

yep, freak car... you got a good one!! your tires and gears helped but still very nice times. how many miles are on your car?

 

[slo98gt]

Thanks..... I just rolled 57k, and my best 60 ft time was a 1.97. She runs damn good.... I've surprised quite a few people. But thanks for all the feedback, Its nice to be on a forum where people dont talk crap...

OHH shit that answers the question, 1.97 60 ft is really good for street tires. i was only pullin 2.30 60 ft with my hankook 18"s which is why my 1/4 mile was so shitty. the rule of thumb is for every tenth of sec of your 60 ft time you will lose 2 to 3 tenths of sec of your 1/4 mile time.( this really works) ie. my best was a 2.3 60 ft = 14.4@98mph. if i could have even gotten a 2.0sec 60 ft time my time would have been in the 13.7 - 13.8 range. so you are doing real good my friend, keep up the good driving :thumb:

 

[slo98gt]

Thanks....It is my first Mustang so I'm still in that learning phase....U know how it goes

57K!!! i wish my car had 57K on it!!

i ran my best (14.6 @ 93 / 2.001 60') 2 weeks ago with over 165K on the odometer. we were going to head back to the track yesterday (Sunday) but got rained out. i think shes got a low 14 in her and i plan to do it before they shut the track down :thumb:
