That is proof enough to at least try it and shoot for my high 13's
i never understood that thought process... say you go to the track.. gutted, open exhaust, 1/4 of a 1/4 of a 1/4 tank of gas, 20 psi tire pressure, 120 shot on race gas.. and run like a mid 13... but then once you leave the track you make the car "normal" again... what the hell was the point.. what good is your 13.6 if out on the street in the real world you are only very low 14's... my point is.. i would want to run at the track (if at all) to get a good idea of what my car can run all the time.. every day..not what it can run with a huge variety of bizare non daily driven type mods..
