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.

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. |

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.
