My street car (Ford Focus Turbo) runs 9.0 @ 80mph. on the 1/8mile launch is everything, you don't have the opportunity to use top end grunt like you do on the 1/4
I think he's trying to tell you that if a s$%& wagon Focus can rattle off a 9.0 , then you are really gonna look like a rubber ducky if you can't pull a mid 8 out of your $&*
But maybe I'm reading too much into this. :D
With 3.91's if your tune up is close to good , 8.5
If you can get the car to launch I'm guessing you could maybe see an 8 teen , but a good driver will maybe pull consistent .20's.
As stated above , the launch is the key.
Especially in the 1/8th.......getting your 60 ' down is the best way to drop your e.t.
