Were any of you all out there?

I took the Wife's (lol) car to the track tonight...

Car has the following:

K&N Drop in Filters
Sprint Booster (basically just speeds up the electronic drive-by-wire)
Continental All Season Tires (I think the Michelins would've helped a LOT)

Conditions:
90* dropping down to 87* or so
85%+ humidity - enough to allow the windows to fog up by the end of the 1/4 mile, and it was getting foggy outside, car getting almost wet, etc..

Times:

Best time was a 13.2 @108 - only got it once, did it launching in 1st with traction control turned OFF - it was my third to last run, and tried it two more times to get a 13.6 and a 13.5. Other than this one run, I never got over 104mph trap speed for whatever reason. I really feel like I left a LOT on the line with the 60fts

I must've ran a 13.7 @ 103 7 or 8 times - would definitely dial it in at that if I was bracket racing. Put it in 'D', hold the rpms at 1K, release the brake and mash the gas - 13.7x @103.7 every time!

Notable Competitors: (good to gauge track conditions)
350Z - exhaust, intake, chip - 14.8 best time
5.0 Mustang Coupe - exhaust, cold air, gears - 14.7
01 Mustang GT - 5spd - exhaust at least, not sure what else - 14.8
06 Mustang GT - 5spd - exhaust at least, not sure what else - 15.0
Ram Air Trans Am - ran him once heads up, and it was my 2nd best run at 13.5, got him by a .1. Sounded like he had full headers back exhaust w/cutouts, drag radials, likely lids. Killed him off the tree and would walk away each time he shifted...he ran faster earlier in the night but the fog/humidity killed his car too.
240Z - turbocharged (T28?) - 14.7
240Z - 100mm+ turbo 8.4 @ 165mpg :o
C5 ZO6 - seemed mostly stock - ran a few 13.0's and 12.99, ran a 13.4 against me when I ran a 13.5, close!
C6 Vette (zo6?) - was cammed, had LT's, exhaust, and ran 12.4's

Timeslip:

It was fun...first time at the track in the SRT6, second time ever. If I swapped to the Pilot Sport tires that some of them came with, I could likely get it into the 12's.

If you see that front splitter, big whale tale 911-esque wing, 15 spoke wheels, or SRT badges, now you'll know what to expect.
