I saw INTMD8's thread with his F355 quarter mile and figured I'd post mine from last month. I got a best of 13.801 s @ 101.69 mph on the 9th run (the bad reaction time is me waiting for the data logger to start recording). Every run I revved the car a little higher and it got faster and faster. I'm a year overdue for belts (changing them this winter) so I didn't wanna rev past about 8500 RPM. The car is a stock 1992 348tb except for a Tubi exhaust (still have stock cats), an ECU chip installed in the 90s (unknown specs), a K&N drop in filter, and Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec tires (225/45R-17 front and 255/40R-17 rear). I am amazed by how fast the F355 can be shifted in INTMD8's video. I've tried to shift my car faster, and it just doesn't work (I also own a 1970 Nova with a face-plate converted Richmond Super Street 5 speed so I do know how to powershift). A week and half ago my pumpkin started oozing a lot of thick black grease, so I tore into it and found leaking triple seals, Kluber grease everywhere, and a broken clutch diaphragm spring lodged between the pressure plate and spacer plate on the clutch. That may have been contributing to the tough shifting in my car. Anyway I see videos like these as good documentation of what a car can do with certain mods. The scales at the track said the car was 3390 lb with me in it on runs 1 through 8 (with a toolkit, fire extinguisher, gopro camera, data logger, etc onboard). On this run (run 9), I remembered to take the fire extinguisher and my homemade toolkit out of the frunk, probably dropping about 50 pounds off that number. I weigh about 170 with a helmet on, so that means the car is about 3170 lb with 3/4 tank of gas. I'd like to get my car in the 12s over time, so I consider this a nice baseline.
Yeah I think it was a CTS-V on that run. On an earlier run I got beat by an ATS-V that ran an 11.9. Cadillac makes fast stuff nowadays.
It's even better in tunnels . People are always amazed by how much just a Tubi muffler changes the 348 exhaust note. It sounds quite a bit like a 355 in person.
