Ehh, stock Lightnings range from a 14.2 sec. 1/4 mile to a 13.8 sec. 1/4 mile, depeding on the year of the Lightning (I believe the 2001's had 380hp, and the 99's had 360hp).
Anyways, i'm surprised that you didn't run in the 13's. Your 60' time is pretty dang good. I mean, a 2.1 sec. 60' isn't bad on street tires. I'm sure you could get a 2.0 sec. 60' with even more practice, which is just insane for a stock car (Heard and seen those new stangs getting out of the hole, and they are vicious). The top end just seems really lacking to me though. Thought those cars were LS1 killers. Seems like they run out of gas past the 1/8th mile from what i've seen at the track (Seen a few, which I think might have had exhaust, that ran a 13.8 sec. 1/4 mile at 100mph).
Track conditions always play a factor. Last time I went to the track I only ran a 13.2 sec. 1/4 mile at 108mph, cause I ran into a 30mph headwind. My previous best, with less mods, was a 13.1 sec. at 109mph. I'm sure that if you were in 60 degree temperatures, without a headwind to run into, and with decent track prep, that the car would run high 13's. The mph just seems low to me though. What do Mach1's run at that track?
Anyways, nice driving out of the hole.
