Back in the early 90's, my old hatch (driven by the former owner) ran 14.2's with timing/cat-back and road race suspension on street tires.
Wonder where the dizzy was at during the pass/conditions.
It's not that I'm saying it didn't happen as its not a strectch, but it not likely of the norm at all.
I would love for my 91 5.0L 5 spd car with CAI, H pipe, MAC cat-back LCA's and 3.73's break into the low 14's.
How many of you really take weather conditions into account when you're racing? I heard of guys who are so hardcore about it they have barometers in their racecar trailers. If it's humid out, real hot etc, you're going to lose ET. Sea level has a lot to do with air quality as well. I'd even go so far as to believe air pollution has a bit to do with it...say if there's a racetrack in NJ vs. a track out in the country. A lot of times, people also blame the car when it's really the driver. I'm a good driver but i know for a fact my buddy is better than i am..he's just had more time behind the wheel. Every time he drives my car he gets at least a 10th quicker than i do because his 60s are lower than mine.
Anyone been into Mustangs long enough to remember the Grand National/Mustang shootouts? All the 'stang mags covered the races. It was a heated rivalry back in the day.
