What year and how did you launch? I have a '98 vert, auto with 3.15 gears, blackwing with smooth bellows, borla x pipe with straight pipes and my best time was 8.70 at 84mph. It was however close to 90 degrees out at the time, not sure how much that played a part. Good times, I'm jealous

well what made me feel good about it was the other two guys with me went 8.89 and 8.70s. i had been telling them my car spins really bad with stock tires and thinspokes and that proved everything to them!

That's pretty good. I ran 8.483 at 86.27 and my 1/4 time was 13.086. So you are doing very well for a stock convertible.
