14.1 would be from a terrible launch

Mid to Low 13's 13's- 13.2-13.4 would definitely be possible with a good launch... TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL!!!

My car did 13.01 100% stock down to the tires. Never got it into 12's. GS did 13.0X also bone stock.

To replace all the control arms is a ton of work.

I ran my best of 13.8@105 today but we are 5600 ft above sea level and the DA was high today and it was windy.

I've run a 12.62 sat 113 so far with a 2.05 60' time. 02 A4, headers, vararam ,3.42 gears and a tune. Only made 4 runs and launching is definitely the key. I figure that if I can pull of a 1.8 60', I'll be in the low 12s.

, EVERY 05' Mustang GT I have seen run in OK has been 13.9 +, those cars are only 300hp (~260 RWHP) ~3700lb turds. Even the Shelby GT 500 is rated at 13.3

Stock 99 and 00 FRC's can run 12.9 all day on just a 1.9X 60' in the right conditions shifting fast. I ran 13.3 with only a ebay intake and straight pipes in my coupe
