What will a stock automatic R/T run the 1/8 mile (ET and speed)? Thanks

Depends a lot on driver skill. My 1st pass with just a drop in filter was 9.6@77mph. Once I learned how to launch my car, 2.00 60's and 8.4-8.7@82-84mph

Thanks for the reply.

Very impressive! Bone stock (with exception of the drop-in filter) it runs 8.4's - 8.7's?

What is your 0-60?

man, it really depends on a lot of factors, mainly the DA (Density Altitude).

not sure where you're from, but if you're running an automatic in 80 degree weather and your NOT in Colorado, i would say you can get consistent 9.0-9.1's in the 1/8 mile if you get a good launch.

the colder it gets, the better your times will be...

where are you from ??

Depends on DA, track prep and driver skill as everyone else said, I'd say probably high 8's to 9.0's with a 81-82 mph trap speed. If you go to Atco NJ on a cool day then you will be a lot better than that if you are high in the Rocky Mountains you will be a lot worse than that.

However with a few minor bolt on's you can drop that significantly. My last trip to the track yielded a bunch of 8.3 and 8.4's at 84.5 to 85.5 mph.

I'm in west Tennessee, altitude about 450'. I know that launch procedure, track prep and temps can affect ET (I've been racing for about 35 years). Just wondering what others with pure stock autos have experienced. Thanks

My best is faster than any car I have ever owned, so that is fast enough for me!:burnout:

A stock R/T probably mid high 13s in the 1/4, 13.7 or close to it. A 8.5 Eighth mile would be about a 13.26 1/4, so unless you have a unicorn R/T, you should be good
