Congrats Shahid! It was perfect weather out yesterday and everyone was amazed how well his car launched at the track. I was impressed with the 60ft times especially since it was his first time at the track! For comparison, I ran my Z too which is a 6 speed with Gen3 intakes and I was only able to run a 13.2 @ 106.5mph with a 1.9 60ft time. I did hit the limiter and went through the traps in 3rd instead of 4th but that would have at best given me just a tenth I think. Shahid's car is quick for a factory car and there was no tire pressure adjustment or weight reduction. We got off Rt. 95 North after driving for a few hours with the Mid Atlantic Group, he paid his fee, got right in line, received a 1 minute brief on the staging points(total time from entering gate to his run was less than 5 minutes) and he ran a great time!
