Ask wbt and kdanner what suspension they used...oh wait damn near stock so don't use the suspension excuse either.

Excuses Jeff can't use:
1. Driver - Clint drove it too and he knows how to drive
2. Tires - x275 PA guys use 275/60/15 so he doesn't need bigger tires
3. Suspension - wbt has gone 10.87 with near stock suspension
4. Track prep - wbt went 10's the same night at the same track as Jeff
5. Trans - Jeff wanted a stick shift so if you miss a shift...it was your choice
6. Weight - autos weigh more, your base weighs less than most others
My car weighs 3873 without me in it. So does it weigh less. And I was running on NTO5R. Not exactly the best drag radial like what the X275 guys use. And I'm not the only one that says the track prep wasn't all that great. The guys with slicks they were cutting decent 60 ft times like 1.5 but hell that's what most should do on drag radials.

It seems like that is you. You are the one getting defensive and throwing insults

I was running 275/60/15 drag radials and cutting 1.5 60' times all night. That is one of the best track surfaces I have run on anywhere.

Well you're the only one I've seen that said that. But I'm just going off what I heard from people last night that was racing and on a different mustang website that race too. So I guess they were wrong. My bad.

Wait a minute. This is a manual base GT? I don't care if it is 100% untouched with stock wheels/tires and all, that car doesn't even weigh 3600 without driver. Get a new scale.

Why are you running a radial tire, any radial tire, on a stick car, then complaining it won't hook? You put the wrong tire on!

Here's the splits needed to go 10.80s from a 1.55 60':

60-330 2.9409
60-660 5.4026
60-1000 7.5251
60-1320 9.319
330-660 2.4617
330-1000 4.5842
330-1320 6.3781
660-1000 2.1225
660-1320 3.9164
1000-1320 1.7939


Splits for sticks are quicker than that down low, automatics get to take advantage of a radial tire and are quicker downtrack. You've got at least 75 more RWHP according to you, so you should absolutely slaughter every single one of those numbers. So let's see em.

You must be spoiled and never run on a really shitty track. Come down this way and I can point you directly to several. You will start realizing how good last night's track really was.
