Best run of the night at OSW it was probably around 80 degrees. And even the awd drive guys were whining about track conditions.
This is full street weight. Plus me (225) on a stage 2 e85 oft tune. 4500 rpm launch about 80% throttle. On Firestone firehawk wide oval a/s tires.
I feel like I should be running a drop faster considering 14.8 was my best time.

Funny, I had a '65 Mustang years ago with a 289 ci (a little under 5 liters) V8 generating about 200 horsepower. It weighed 2735 lbs "curb weight". Four speed stick shift. The original rear end was a 3.00 and it ran about a 15.80 in the quarter. Not all that fast. Now I have an FR-S, about 2753 lbs curb weight with 200 hp, and the car will run a 14.80 quarter, a full second faster than the Mustang. The reason: the rear end is a 4.10 and the transmission has six gears instead of four. That's progress. :burnrubber:
Oh, and this also was in Orlando with the Mustang; Central Florida Dragway in Bithlo. "Friday Night under the lights!" Are they still in business?
