Mine too. I haven’t seen anything better than 3.1 on a stock TH.

I've posted this here and on other TH sites a number of times, but here it is again. I usually get 3.1 to 3.3, depending on how much wheel spin I get off the line, but here's my best. (Note the 1/8 mile speed is in kph) Totally stock. BTW, I knew as soon as I launched this run it was going to be quick... It was a crisp cool morning and it hooked up perfectly.

Yes, this is the quickest I've seen from the Performance Pages. 11.2 @ 122 is flying, and I don't think most stock THs will run this at the track. You got a winner.

I think if a stock 0-60 in 3.0 sec was possible that we would have seen it by now. They’ve been on the out for over a year and no one has posted a 3.0 stock yet. Someone prove me wrong (give me hope)!define cool and crisp

The morning I got the 3.0 the air was dry (crisp) and and temps were in the mid 30's (cool). I make these runs on a 2+ mile stretch of road that I know very well. (and it's only 5 or 6 miles from homedefine cool and crisp
It's flat, straight, smooth and usually has no other cars in sight, especially in the early morning hours. It's about 200ft above sea level. I typically start my run on a bridge where there is a good concrete surface which I think gives me better traction on the launch.I'm waiting for the air temps to get into the 20's and I'll probably try for a 2.9. That may be tough since I only got the 3.0 once. Usually I'm getting 3.1's and 3.2's...

Agree, my best stock was 3.1 sec with all season tires and 1,500 rpm launch ...… now 2.7 sec with same launch and tires (Livernois S975 added).

I am all for trying combinations of driving techniques, weather conditions and pavement variations to keep knocking the times down, but it is a fact that there is a limit to how quick you can go, in stock form.
The mechanicals of the car don't know that you just ran a 3.0. It doesn't try harder to reach 2.9. There's simply a limit to the amount of improvement that's possible, with a given amount of power/gearing/traction.
That said (my opinion honed from 35 years of drag and road racing), go forth and conquer, my friends!

3.1 in cool weather is the best I've had. #chasing2.9

I, too, have a 3.1 as my best. That was two weeks ago when we had 28 degree weather here in KS. Far better than what is advertised for these things so I'm happy about that time and I'm confident that will be the best until I can get some Livernois horsepower upgrades.
