I might try a road coarse if the local track stays open.

Don't get me wrong, when I drive it I enjoy it. I don't beat the hell out of it but I love the sound of the blower screaming as well as the tires

My wife is pretty good to me but between working every 2nd weekend and all of the weddings, family visits, camping and everything else there isn't alot of time for the car and racing.

Went back at it last night for the TnT. My GT is back too where it was in E.T's before i went to the Bullitt intake, and JLT cai.
My best before was 13.1's, but with hitting it with everything she had.
Now the GT seems to be hitting 13.1's without beating the crap out of her, which is a good sign. With some driver practice, and some weight loss for the GT, 12's shouldn't be that much harder to achieve.... hopefully LOL!
Made me happier to see my GT hitting 13/1's consistantly last night with one run being 13.5 due to a miss shift..... compared to the last time i was out a few weekends ago beating her up to hit 13.2's. I know air, and condition play a factor, but so does the driver, and how the car is running.
In short i found some issues with the GT to deal with, and obviously correcting them helped. She feels real good.

Great to hear, a few little tweaks and you should be at your goal. What do you run for tires? Drag radials or just street tires?

Running M/T E.T Streets.
It would be nice, i'm just happy to be back where it was in the past finally, and running consistant. A 12 second slip would be the cherry on the cake though LOL.
