Ran the Taurus at the strip

[Capri83RS]

A buddy of mine was heading to the track for the last open day of racing for the season, so I decided to go run the SHO.

First pass, I pushed through the lights and didn't get a time slip. Still ****** about that, but whatever. Shit happens LOL. Stopping on the big end is scary, Ill definitely need to do something about the brakes.

Second pass, clipped a 2.08 60' and ran a 13.76 @ 101 mph. Pretty happy with that run, full weight Non-PP, with a subwoofer and tools in the trunk over the spare tire, on all seasons. And 2/3rds of a tank of fuel. I was going to try and be easier on the brakes, but the guy in the other lane swerved into my lane when he tried to slow down.

I'll post the time slip later today. Because of the braking performance on the big end, I opted not to make any more passes.

My buddy ran a 12.22 @ 108 in his 2008 F250 6.4L. Bunch of Coyote drivers running 13.8-14.0. Made me wish I still had my '12 GT to show them what a difference driver mod makes.

EDIT: Uploaded time slip

Pretty decent time! Hopefully, better conditions to hit sub 2.0 next time

Very good times then. I have the same car/color/No PP. Never got to run it stock but with tune, 1/4 tank, and no spare i ran a 12.87@107 on my first time out. A stock 2011 was running 14.2 but said he had ran 13.9 the week prior.
