Aww man! Those few seconds were part of the most adrenaline-rushed, high-octane-powered moments of my life!

 

Tonight, I drag raced my Mustang for the first time. Everything went nearly as good as could be hoped.

 

Here's the list of occurrences that I had to process/fulfill in 15 seconds:

• Pull up to burnout box
• Turn off Traction Control
• Apply small pressure to brake
• Apply pressure to gas pedal
• Roll out of burn out
• Turn on Traction control
• Align front tires in tire box
• Apply pressure to brake
• Apply pressure to pedal, just enough to get the engine going
• Wait for light to turn green
• Let go of brake
• FLOOR IT

There were 2 things I didn't do, both of which were the Traction Control steps. It really messed around my head because I didn't burnout properly, but I eventually a mini-burnout. But I kept thinking "I messed up already," and I forgot that I had to watch a light turn green for a split second (literally). In short, my reaction time to the light turning green could have been better..

 

Anyway, disregarding reaction time problems, I'd estimate my car can run a good 13.0-13.3 seconds getting to about 105 mph in a 1/4 mile.

 

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

 

 

PS - My Mustang is mostly stock, so my time's were to be expected, but apparently, I found a good combination of power-adders for a Mustang for a fairly cheap value.
