I have seen a bunch of 1/4 mile Timeslips, was wondering if anyone here besides me plays at the local 1/8 mile?
If so I would like to see some times with list of mods so as to compare what others are getting in their FiSt.

9.89 @ 74.16 MPH stock
9.32 @ 78.15 MPH with a Livernois Tune

Both times were on the same day within an hour of each other.

1/8 timeslips are pointless for anything besides running. Seriously.

Some people only have an 1/8th mile track to play on. That being said I find the 1/8th rather boring, much rather do typical 1/4 mile passes.

And so for the rest of us who cant afford a 10sec 1/4mile car, we instead live it 1/8mile at a time[histerical]

Or if you actually want to have fun, find some twisty roads. The Fiesta ST isn't really an amazing drag car. The handling and braking on the other hand is amazing for a stock car.

The reality is that in order to run a strong 1/4 mile you have to have a great 60' -330' and 660'=(1/8) the 60' and 330' are the single 2 most important puzzle pieces to pulling down a great 1/4 timeslip.........that being said I do prefer the 1/4 butttt I can get in twice as many practice runs on the 1/8 to further improve my driving skills. There are a lot of FAST 1/4 cars that come out to the local 1/8 and get really embarrassed by good drivers in slower cars!!!! So its hard to claim that 1/8 times are Pointless!!!!

9.98

No mods. I actually had the engine strike the firewall in this video. I now have the COBB RMM. Traction control was on as well. My dad didn't know you could turn it to sport mode or off. So I am rather confident that my net run will be faster.

I believe the clunk is the roll restrictor bottoming out, not the engine hitting anything.
