Ran her at El Paso Motorplex. Being 4700 ft above sea level it ran REALLY SLOW. My best time out of 5 runs was 17.408 at 80.12 mph. Corrected using known factors to sea level the numbers are 16.356 at 85 mph.

BTW I officially hate the elevation here.

Its a 5-speed. Bone stock 25K miles

16.3 @ 85 is about right on to what i averaged stock in my 07 you will be surprised at what a simple intake and exhaust will do for your car, im right about 10 - 15 feet above sea level aswell lol, a cold air and header, rear seat delete, im now running on average 15.2 - 15.3 @ 90 if your interested in getting those times down a little [hihi]

yeah I have to say I really like my elevation also. My 15.7 as never sounded so sweet before lol. But after the correction it sounds like your right where you should be. Also the normal mods will help greatly with your times. Good luck

Yea, it felt fine at the track. Never made any wierd sounds except for once. But hey im beating the crap out of it so what can I expect.

But yes, once I do the normal mods I expect quite a big change. From what I have read a header, cat back, cai, and a tune should get me close to low 15's at sea level.

im in el paso to i want to go to the motor plex but havent had the chance i have a 08 sedan mtx at the moment have i/h/e untuned i would like to see how quick my car is when did u go on sunday?
 
#9 ·
There are no mods done to the car except the lunchbox. Ran a 16.69 at 80 ish mph. My fastest ever. The track is on El Paso and is 5187 ft above sea level. That time corrects to 15.5 in the quarter. For a BONE stock car. Granted I lauched at 7K and powershifted 2 and speed shifted 3rd.. I didnt think it would run that fast.

ea I didn't have internet all Saturday so I didn't see your post about going until like 7 pm sunday and I didn't want to run out there that late.

At least you ran faster than me. Only .1 second faster tho haha. and the same mph.

Well anyway hope we can run em at some point. I might go there next-next weekend too. My brother might be there too.
 
#21 ·
Yeah but I think I can go a lot faster the wheel hop killed me it was my first time in a track so I'm pleased but next time I'm surely gonna be faster ;)

#24 ·
Yea it's not to bad, but I can tell that she is begging for a tune bad.
 
#25 ·

Yea I can't wait until I get my 08 tuned.

But I have heard the the Plex is 5187 ft above sea level. I ran a 16.68 stock and ran a 16.62 with the Steeda and lunchbox. So I know it's a good way's up there.
 
#27 ·
Nope its 3800 I had my gps when I went what were ur 60 ft times? I need to learn how to lunch it there

#28 ·
I usually get like 2.6-2.7. My best is 2.522, that was with a 6.5-7K clutch drop and it surprisingly hooked and went.
 
#29 ·
Mm do u have ur times slips? That's what I do in the 60ft and a almost stock focus is not gonna compete with my car I don't believe it
