Granted it wasn't in either of my Challengers.

I was driving DodgeTony's 2011 Mustang GT 5.0. He let me make a pass in his car Saturday at Tri-State Dragway in Cincinnati.

I wanted to see if I could make a 12 sec run. The fastest I have ever driven on the track is 13.10.

Did a small burnout. Ran 1.87 60', 11.888 @ 117.30 mph. The car spun the tires all the way thru 1st & 2nd gear. Then it hooked and the car took off like a rocket. I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart was racing. It was an amazing run and when I got the time slip I couldn't believe it 11.88. Neither my husband, Tony and 2 other guys could believe the time when it went up on the board.

Tony was running 11.70's at 120 mph, so I was really proud of myself.

BTW, we let Tony drive our SRT auto and it ran 12.82 for him and we couldn't get out of the 13.20's.

And I will not be trading in my V6 for a Mustang.

Excelent driving job!

Re his time in your SRT I have always maintained that my SRT is a 12 second car trapped in a 13 second body (me).......:lol:

Nice going. Cool of him to let you go for a run in his car.

I saw this thread and thought to myself, "What the hell did she do to that SE?" lol

Nice time. Congrats!

Great run! Not sure which is more impressive, breaking into the elevens or staying within a tenth or so of DodgeTony in his ride - he always gets great times out of whatever he is driving. You are burning up the track!!!

It was a great time racing with Ken and Bobbi. Their SRT is an easy 12.7 car in it's almost stock form. Just getting the launch nailed is all you need. With a couple more passes I am sure it could easily be done.

The air was great but the track personel's idea of track prep was using a leaf blower every now and then. We pretty much had our run of the place since everyone left once they seen all the cars spinning all over.

I had no problem letting Bobbi run my car. I was pretty sure she would run 11's since it was running 11.70's with me driving and spinning through 1st and 2nd gear. I knew if she stayed in it it would run the same for her.

Next week we are hitting a better track. I am sure we will see some better numbers yet.
