Is Madmike87 the same Mike as RubberBndMan here..??

13.2 @ 107 sounds pretty respectable for not hooking up...
Nope, not Silver 08 SRT Mike. And perhaps I got his name wrong.....I was in a hurry to get home!
Hey, The pres of the Ford Drag Team is trying to get a Mopar team put together for next season....A little club Drag racing! I sounds like a lot of fun....I told him to send me the info. How about you Chris, Mike?

I just bought an 09 Rt Auto Today. I will pick it up Friday after work and will be hitting the track Sunday. I am real anxious to see what it turns in the quarter. I reguarly race a low 10 second Dodge Demon and have grown tired of lugging the whole race rig to the track for a little fun...hence the new Chally. Can't wait to see what it does. After the one time trip to the track for a baseline, it will spend all winter receiving upgrades!

I'll be curious to see some stock 09 r/t auto times 10sec since you have experience driving.

Here are my results from today at Dragway 42. It was mid 50's air temp, corrected baro of 30.12 hum at 80%. Overall incredible air to race in.
First, the traction control is a royal pain. Second, I could not hit the tree at all. After a few runs I got better, but I am used to racing a low 10 sec car....when I left on the last bulb I was horribly late.
Anyhow, I ran 5 times. The first 3 were all in the 13.10's. The last two 13.30's. The car is all stock! I raced it with the air in the rear tires at 20 psi, and removed the air filter. Here are the incrementals from the best pass:
60': 1.942
330': 5.501
1/8 mile: 8.47 @ 80.65 mph
1000': 10.977
1/4 mile: 13.12 @ 108.16

If some-one can tell me how to post a time slip I will post it.

Taylor...I reguarly dragrace 250~300 passes a year, so I am sure that helps. Plus the air was great. Heres a link to a different website where I posted the timeslip.
http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...gonew=1#UNREAD

First, the suspension likes to be shocked...dead idle and floor it. I also made sure I followed slick cars into the lanes. This way I could avoid driving through any dirt from the other street cars. Lastly, no burnout. These tires get greasy when hot. I only spun them off a split second to get the dirt off and that was it. No smoke if I could avoid it. Then the rest is pay real close attention for wheel slip and ease off a little. I always ran with the traction control off as I knew it would slow the car. My next outing will be with slicks and the traction control bypassed. I think based from the MPH this car will go mid 12's with slicks.

Then there's old saying....some are faster than others.
