Are you sure your car is stock? Most don't run mid 13s, at least not without a REALLY good launch.


What was your 60ft time and trap speed?


Stock C4 takes about 2.5 miles to get up near 150.

i assume my car is stock. its sounds stock. the only way it cant be stock if the cats are gutted. kinda smells like maybe they are. my car has stock looking mufflers dunno what brand they are but its quiet at idle.

in gainesville, fl
on the 1/4 i got 13.49 at 99
8th mile its 8.61 at 78
best 60' is 1.772

i was using bfg drag tires 315 35 17. with these tires on the car it launches very well!

yeah for me it took about 2.6 miles to get to 149-150. took forever to pull through the 140s and car feels like it has little power up there
