For those who are not familiar with DA...its a calculation between elevation, barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity. It was HOT and HUMID, it was around 90 deg and humidity was around 60% raising to 70% later in the evening.

I did 3 runs in a row straight off the street, then I let the car cool off 1 hour, then ran it 2 more times.

Best ET/mph in BOLD.

1st run
brake stall to 2000rpm
60' 2.191
1/8' 9.312
mph 76.34
1/4' 14.27
mph 100.366

2nd run
flash stall off idle
60' 2.126
1/8' 9.059
mph 78.152
1/4' 13.90
mph 102.34


3rd run
brake stall 2000rpm
60' 2.159
1/8 9.241
mph 76.628
1/4 14.183
mph 100.92

For comparison sake, if I corrected this best ET/mph to ET/MPH @ sea level
from Drag Times.

Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
13.459 @ 105.729 MPH

Which I guess is somewhat in line with the car mags.

I guess that sucks, but then again, this isn't the negative DA runs that people only like to post.

I bet the 05-09 GT's were running 14.0-14.5's @ ~97-99 mph.
