im going to the track tomorrow its only 1/8th mile, im running a 05 v6 with flowmaster axle back 5spd, what do you guys think my time would be? this is the first time i take the stang to the track any tips or suggestions? im also running my friend he has a 99 talon the turbo fwd one, how do you think that would go his is also stock and a 5spd as well.
First timer, I'd say mid to high 15's. What kind of tires you running, stock? I ran a 9.3 at our 1/8 mile and that is with my 05 GT with mods in sig. It was my first time and I drove it with care. My car has an 8.5-8.6 in it, but I just gotta get back to the track to run it. If you can drive a stick good and launch good, you could see a high 14, but its unlikely. Have fun and good luck. I think the Talon will beat you if he is used to his car and can drive.

I'm an auto and with just the flowmaster A/T I ran a 10.09 on the stock tires so I'd say close to that. If your friend's Talon hooks he will crush you. Sorry. If he doesn't hook he should still walk away from you.

my 1st gen AWD DSM (less stock power but the advantage of AWD) with only a high flow cat, exhaust, and the balance shafts removed, ran in the 9.30s and 9.40s...with one run in the high 9.20s, but it was dark and very cool out. this is at 1300 feet. that translates to a mid to high 14, as my wifes truck ran high 9.40s in the 8th on passes where she was running 14.80s-14.90s...
he SHOULD beat you, provided that he can drive...but his car is a DSM, and its 9 years old...we all learned at a young age that fwd sucks.
