You'll be close, I would say 8.8 to 8.7 is about stock...
If you mod (NA) and let JNAUT drive you could do 7.9...

i was up there last weekend and i seen a camaro ss run a 8.7 and a srt8 challenger run a 8.6. i work with 2 guys that have these cars. i hope my car runs better so i can rub it in their face haha. those cars were also modded though.

My best 1/8 mile time (which was also my best 1/4 mile run) was 8.388 s with my 7AT. It's definitely possible. Do you have a 7AT or a 6MT?

brado · 03-23-2011, 09:48 PM

6mt. is your car stock?

100% stock including tires. I had what I guess would be the perfect run. Weather and launch were both perfect, leading to an amazing run. My worst 1/8 mile times that day were 8.8xx. It will be more difficult in the 6MT, but it's still possible.

Your run was about as good as it gets. Perfect weather + track prep.

The 6MT will be notably slower. A good launch is pretty much what it comes down to in the eighth mile. There isn't time to overcome a less-than-stellar launch.

different elevations matter too right? im in the mountains.

Ah the NRV! Nice. I used to live out in Radford.

I think the elevation there is right around 2,000 feet so you're probably looking at a high 8 second pass if you can hook up.

It actually can be a good bit worse than that. You could take a 13.0 car at sea level and run 14.5 somewhere in Colorado.
