Went to my local drag strip today to get a baseline for the M62 before I turbo swap the car.
This is the car's first trip to a drag strip in years due to clutch issues.
It was also my first time in a LONG time driving a manual FWD at the track. So I was a bit rusty.
That said, I feel like I represented our cars fairly well. A lot of people were surprised that a Saturn could run like that.
I guarantee that with better tires than the crappy Nankangs I was on I could drop those times by 0.5 or better and be in the mid 13's. The trap speed is there.
Here's the slip.
