Thumbs up 1/4 in a 6-port A/T!

So i went to the local drag strip yesterday. Ran my car 9 times. My 1/4 time was consistently running 16.6-16.9, this was a shock to me. I thought I would at least run 15.5-15.8 but guess not. I wasnt expecting much when i brought the car to the strip, I just wanted to get an official time for everything.

I have an 06, 6 port, 6 speed A/T so all you other a/t drivers out there can refer to this if you ever wonder what the 1/4 time is in an A/T. A 4 ports 4 speed A/T will most definitely have a different time. Anyway, i dont have a scanner so im gonna type everything up.

My Best run:


Tires deflated a little, no DSC, traction control FULLY off, no floor mats/ back seats/ tire kit, some other little bs...

R/T- .079
60 - 2.732
330 - 7.304
1/8 - 10.918 @ 68.30 MPH
1000 - 14.009
1/4 - 16.626 @ 85.21 MPH

My best R/T of the night was .043

What do you all think?

EDIT- One run, i went up against a ....Mercury Mariner!!!! He ran a 17.1 and i ran 16.9...THAT WAS EMBARRASSING! LOLOL

would be interesting to see a fully stock AT to compare, since you have a catless midpipe.

Wow, it would be on ebay already.......

Maybe you could pick up a Mariner with some pulleys, no cats, and cold air intake.
