I will post a video soon. I was running in the 13.7's all night.

Here is my best:
R/T: 0.310
60': 2.061
1/8: 8.774
1/8 MPH: 82.36
1/4: 13.461
1/8 MPH: 105.89

I wanted to run in the 13's and I did. I really wanted to beat my buddies L-2 goat and I did. I was pretty happy with my results. It took me a few runs to figure out what the hell I was doing. I will post some vids later tonight if I can figure out my camera.

Not quite. I wish this was stock. Here are my mods:

Magnaflow cat back
RF CAI
VMS ECM/TCM tune.

I have a HSRK but have not installed it yet.

So you must be in FL then. Yeah, it was either in the low 80's or upper 70's tonight. It was pretty nice. It was very humid, actually sprinkled a bit. Just missed some storms.

Here is the video of my 13.461 run. You can't see the resulting numbers, but I can post the slip. The stang beat me by 0.0157 overall, but ran a 13.074 1/4. He stopped gaining me toward the end of the run. If I had another 1/16 mile, I think I would of had him.

Thanks guys. I write C code all day long, so this high level stuff throws me for a loop. And it doesn't help that I am a slow learner.

I was putting the entire URL in the youtube tags. I guess you are only suppose to put in the character string at the end of the youtube URL to make it work inside the youtube tags.

Here is compilation of four of my runs. I was the only Pontiac G8 there. There was a ton of GTO's. My wife told me that the announcer called my G8 a v6 version, since it was debadged. He then corrected himself when I went against the first Mustang.

Yeah. It was at my first bracket race with the G8 on Father's Day. My husband nearly Sh*t a brick when he saw my E/T come up on the board. I knew I must have done something good when he came running up to me before I even got back to my pit spot.
