11's
Is anyone with an M7 making it under 12 in the 1/4 mile? Or do you have to be Jim Mero to make it happen?

I've got about 400 passes in cars of this power level and can tell you that 11s are only going to happen with a great launch. That is your make or break point for sure. Trap MPH is actually a far better barometer of how fast your car is on the street and what the fun to drive factor is. 1/4 mile ET is very dependent on the 60 ft time.

Saying that Drmustang, what do you feel is a fast trap speed? 120? I believe a lot of the Stingrays are running 115 to 120.
