Wow, thats real good. My p5 ran a 16.47s and that's impressive for a stock p5.

Would you list your model / mods info please so we have a reference.

It's still .48 quicker!!! I think I'll stick with my Mazda3! With good traction I know that I could hit in the 15.7's! What did you run jjac28?

.47s is a LOT when it comes to drag racing....I had to work my *** off to knock off .03s once to get me from a 10.s to a 9.97s....a half second is like a mile in a drag race.

I'm very impressed with the 3's time! Good for you man!

Rod, you're talking about 1/8 mile times though, right?

OK, I didn't think anyone would have given up a 10 second MSP for a P5, and I knew the SHO's were pretty quick, but.....

yeah my STOCK SHO was running a 10flat...I fought and fought to hit a 9.99s but couldn't do it...spent about $1K and added a 75hp shot and some drag radials and I was almost into the 8s.

are you serious?? The SHO is a demon with some traction. You should try owning one sometime and seeing how many surprised people you beat.

My SHO with exhaust, drag radials and a ZEX kit would run low 13's in the quarter. and very low 9's....just couldn't ever get down to the 8's.
