Finally broke 14's!!!

I went to the track today and finally managed to break into the fourteens in my automatic 06 sedan. I've been trying to break 14's for the longest time now. I ran a 14.954 and a 15.053 both at 90.95 mph. The 14.9 run was with a 2.225 sixty foot. Redfocz was actually at the track too, he saw my slips.
As soon as I can figure out how to upload the video to my computer I will submit the video and slips for the "official 1/4 mile list"
So does this make me the first auto n/a to break into the 14's?

my fault I went out after posting the thread, but anyway in terms of mods I have a K & N short ram intake, pacesetter header, 3 in down pipe no cat, magnaflow muffler, tranny inserts from Turbo Tech Racing, and a good tune from tune time performance. I uploaded the new slip and info on dragtimes.com from my in-law's computer. It should be updated by tomorrow. If anyone wants to give me some votes once it's up, I'd appreciate it.

Here are the slips


and these are some links to vids of my two runs

Why would you have a 3 inch downpipe? You're not boosted and you're pretty much losing more power then you're gaining with that downpipe.

Nice job. Now we know the autotragics can hang with the manuals just fine after a solid tune.

nice to see an auto in the 14's with no boost. keep modding and get it lower.
