1/8th mile

what is a good time and trap to have in the 1/8th mile had a lot of fun at my local track last weekend but i have no idea what i should be shooting for stock. best was a 9.7 i think i ran a 9.6 or 9.5 when i ran the 1/4 but i cant find my slip. either way my car is slow as **** compared to everyone else on this site or guessing i can't drive. my best 1/4 was 15.0 with a 2.3 60'

right around 9.5 seconds @ 76 would be a good time for a stock cobalt ss s/c (probably equate to a 14.4-14.5 @100)

I ran a 9.7 @ 75mph in the 1/8 on a cold track, no burnout, w/ a broken MAF sensor and my 19"s on, lol. Once I get it tuned, a new MAF sensor and buy some drag radials for my stock 17"s, ill be shooting for low 9's.

I think my 13.86 1/4 mi run had a 9.0X 1/8mi. I was running a stage 2 with 2.9", zzp downpipe with cat, gmpp catback, airbox mod - now i have an aem typhoon, cobra heat exchanger, and a ingalls. You pull a 2.2 60' or less thats pretty darn good. I pulled a 2.2 my second trip to the track each run. Once you get the hang of it you can do it everytime. My first trip i went 2.6 - 2.4 - 2.3 - 2.2 for 60 footers.

My first time out, I ran an 11.01 and every run was progressively better. I ended up with a best of 10.25 (stock automatic 2.4)

That seems pretty good. I was hoping to break into the 8s but still haven't. I need to run it on a cool day and get like a 2.1 60'.

Damn! My time sucks. I only kept one slip all year from last season. I got a 2.1 60' but a 9.7 1/8 at 14mph. Ironically, I still managed to pull a 15.161 at 89mph in the 1/4. I must have one impressive car.

Actually, my clutch slipped in my 1-2 shift. Even though the speed reading is off, I bet the time is correct.
