I just got home from the track. It's five hours round trip, but I'm just a die hard like that.

First off, the weather was horrible. Air temp was in the low 70's/high 60's, but a northern had blown in and there was a massive head wind with 30+mph gusts. Horrible. My first pass was an easy 11.doh @ 136 with a 1.95 sixty foot. I was really surprised to see the mph still hanging in there. Actually, I expected to see it down to ~135'ish. Time for a second pass... With a little harder launch it pulled a 1.80 sixty foot, which was good enough to run a 10.77 @ 137.28. That's still with a very conservative tune and the same 125 shot. The stock clutch is holding up like a little champ, but I didn't want to push my luck since I was so far from home and I have to be at work at 7:00am.

BTW, on the way home I got 29.1 mpg.

I love this car.
