if i`m not mistaken your rwks puts you directly in 240/250 kw`s at the fw, ideal conditions low 13`s would be my guesstimate.

Thats not really a fair comparison, the way the 8 makes power is a hell of a lot different than the 6. It is extremely similar in power, yes, but yours is manual as well, its a bit hard to compare. Even I wouldnt be able to compare my car to it, as I havent seen a dyno sheet for it so cant say how it makes power compared to our cars at all.

Thats a dam good time, but yours in manual. Would it make much difference with mine being an auto?

You'd be better off comparing it to mine when it was making 200rwkw. Mine ran consistent 13.9-14.1's with that power.

Id say thats a good realistic time Russ. I doubt I would get any quicker than that, if I did, it would be a bonus, and a perfect 60ft time.
