The track is here in Stockholm, Sweden (Tullinge Raceway), really don't know what elevation it is, but I'm not guessing it's that high, since all of Stockholm is by the water!
Tullinge is known as a track with very good grip!
I run on 95 octane here aswell, since that's our "standard" fuel here!

What track and what were the conditions: Elevation? Temperature? Humidity? Wind?
Based on the fact you were 100% stock and had a full tank of gas plus some additional weight in the car a 13.9 @ 100.1 isn't too bad, especially in the heat of summer. I'd venture to say too, that your track is not at sea level either, since few are.

All that and blond women. That's just not fair. What do people think of your mustang in sweden? Can you buy one from a ford dealer?
Well, people here react good to the car, and I get smiles, looks and "thumbs up" in the traffic every day almost! Atleast once a week someone comes up to me and talks to me about the cars, so I guess I can say that I'ts a car that people like.
You can't get it from a Ford dealer here, but we have some importers that imports the car.
There are about 300-350 registerd Mustang 2005-2006 in Sweden so far, so I can tell you that I se Ferraris & Porsches more often than the Mustangs, wich is kind of nice :)

New to the Mustang forum here. Bought my first mustang this summer. Already had it down to the track. My car turned a 13.652 @ 102.09 with nothing more than the SLP Loud Mouth Axle-Back exhaust. This exhaust doesn't really do anything performance wise to the car, but it sure sounds good! My next time at the track I'm shooting for a much better time with just adding a Airaid CAI.
Only been to a dragstrip twice in my life- both times took a mustang... last time was 1984 in my 69 fastback(302 automatic w/edelbrock/holley/comp he268 cam- but still had single exhausts) only ran a 15.6- last of 4 runs a girl in a new mustang beat me- was embarassing...
tonight took the06 out(zero performance mods), and had a ball- test and tune night, so cars 14 sec and over, kids can ride...they just thought it was the neatest thing ever...with wife/kids on board, best was 14.4 @ 98 something, best solo was 14.02 @ 102.25 ,a .194 reaction, 2.274 60 foot, 9.154 1/8 @78.5... Best time was solo after letting the car sit and cool down about 45 minutes- forgot to turn traction control off, actually did better with it on...was warm/muggy tonight, never even checked tire pressure, was spinning/hopping a little on every run(trying to leave at 2~3k, but no skill here), but suprised myself in 10 powershifts to third never missed one, always got a little chirp... while not fast by any means, was still a lot of fun, especially for the kids- they didnt want to leave :)
first run was a whopping 15.46 @ 94, w/.76 reaction! this stuff is a lot harder than it looks - but is a lot of fun :) Took some time tonight to sit and watch some guys run, pretty cool...everything from turbo ricers/crotch rockets/diesel pickups(!)/mini-kids dragsters...there was a lightning pickup that really sounded wicked- running low 13's. Seeing a big 4x4 quadcab dodge diesel running high 15's was pretty impressive too- thats a lot of mass to get moving!
i cut a 2.017 on stock tires, but here is how you do it. . .
1. all your focus should be on the left foot, not the right. . . your clutch should decide how much goes to the ground, not the gas.
2. there is a sweet spot in the clutch where it grabs pretty tightly. . . its about 1/2 way to 3/4 of the way out. . . keep the RPM's at about 3500 to 4000, and hit that sweet spot when the light turns green.
3. SPINNING THE TIRES IS BAD MKAAAYY!!!!
4. Keep the rearend squated down by coming off the clutch with ease after you hit the sweet spot, oh, and be sure to push the gas all the way down as your coming off the clutch :-).
BAM. . . i hit consistant 2.0's with stock pierelli's

okay, this makes me sound so lame but ive never dragged a stick car except for at the street races, where you dont "red light" when your car creeps forward (you steal the move , and a chase is a race right LOL)
are you holding the brakes while doing this and side stepping them? this is embarassing lol

no dude, if its a regulation track, once your car stops rolling, you can let off the brake and it won't move, trust me on this one. . .
also. . .
barely ease up into your "STAGED" light. . . what i mean is, barely move your car so that its barely tripped. . . if you do this, you can take off when the third yellow light comes on and you won't break out. . . your reaction time will be somewhere around .1 as well, plus you will trap a higher speed and get a better time. . . i know this from experience and research. :-)
Here's my latest run from Mustang Week 2006. On stock Pirelli PZero Nero 235/55/17's. I ran this on 100hp Zex N20 and a 91 Evolution tune with no changes. I'm car #281 on the left.

First off why would I lie about it? I posted my timeslip from Mustang Week. I went there for a vacation with the wife so tell me where I would have put my jack and two extra wheels with the ET Streets on them? I did do what I said I did. I have no reason to lie about it at all. I also have more than 750 passes under my belt as a driver, no not all with this car, but with several that I've owned through the years. Just because you have not done this yet does not mean it can't be done! I was surprised myself, but it happened. I also had a few in the 1.8 and several in the 1.9 in my 10 passes that night. Believe it!
