Finally 10.93 on the stock 8 turbo

Finally did it. got the monkey off my back. I was getting frustrated again tonight and thought id never get a 10 sec pass. ran a 11.03 and a few 11.1's. Sat out for about hour and collected my thoughts. then bam !! not once, but back to back passes. here are the break downs. slips on monday when i get to work to scan em. I'm sooooooooo happy

First pass.
60' - 1.548
1/8 - 7.011 @ 99.92
1/4 - 10.939 @ 124.79

second pass ( right after the first one)
60' - 1.587
1/8 - 7.055 @ 100.06
1/4 - 10.962 @ 125.00

man it feels good to drive a 10 second stock 8 turbo car. thank you English racing for building one hell of a machine.

Update your sig, junkie!!!

I'd love to see your mod list, if you can temper your excitement for long enough to type it.

There's only a 2-3lbs/min difference between the 8 and 9 turbo...
