I made 3 runs. the middle and the right were my first 2. The 15.7 was my first run ever, and i had no idea what i was doing so i just kinda went. And the 15.9 was my second run, i missed second wicked bad. But my 3rd run was a 15.071. And i was effin happy when i saw it. I had a pretty good R/T, which i have down now, so i think i can do better than .1, im aiming for a .05 R/T now. But my 60' could be better. I had alot of wheel hop in the 3rd run, and if i didnt have any i think i could have ran a high 14.9. I also had a full tank of gas, and i ride on Prometer All season tires which were 37$ a piece. I could have done better, but i didnt bother with the little stuff because i didnt think i could get down to 15 with the car untouched from DD.

- My car is a USDM h22 4th gen. full interior including spare and a roadside assitance bag in the back (20 pounds). ebay intake w/ k&n filter, full apexi exhaust with punched out stock cat.

nice not bad bro. 15 flat aint bad for your first time ever to the strip.
with a lil more practice you can def break into high 14's, and with minor weight reduction (taking the spare and sh!t out) maybe mid 14's w/ some more practice.

yea my thoughts exactly. less fuel and better tires too will shave off some time. and yea i do need a little more practice. i have the R/T almost there, a .1 isnt bad at all. but i was impressed with the car, i thought that at best conditions it would run 15.5 being that it has very little modifications and needs to be rebuilt badly. it runs rich and eats/leaks alot of oil. my friends were impressed too which was a plus haha. anyways, it was a good night.

60' were in the range of 2.4-2.5 (all 3 of them)
