Default Weighed my 09 RT today

I weighed it at work on a calibrated scale. Mine has the 20's wheels, auto, and for some reason no spare. I weigh 165, and had a half tank of gas.....4120 lbs!!! What a pig. Tomorrow we will get some time slips.

So, I ran the car today at a local strip. 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.

You my man are one fast driver. These are times from an R/T? And stock to boot? Wow! With mods you will be in the 12s no doubt. Please do videos next time you are out so we can get the feel of a really quick 1/4 mile run

I think Dodge needs to hire a new driver and do some commercials?

This looks like the uber run to me. Anyone seen anything better with a stock R/T?

Best run from a stock mustang GT I've seen (w/timeslips) is around a 13.2. I'm officially jealous! hehe

Im not sure if I trust State run scales anymore, even though I know they keep them calibrated. I got 3540lbs, with 3/4 tank, myself(210lbs) and my girlfreind (140lbs). Ive got 18s, and every option, including leather and sunroof.

I work at an aluminum casting plant where we weigh incoming aluminum we purchase....so I know the ones I work with are correct. My company is too cheap to pay for any extra metal. LOL.

Those are some really good time's . Does the automatic have LSD . Think I read the stick rearend is different. I have the 3.92 rear with pos. in my 6 speed stick . I take it your where spinning the tire's alot. Try turning the air conditoner on the next time . To kill some power . Then turn it off as soon as you move off the line. It work's to stop the spin.
