Troppo, you did well considering the conditions and also compared to your mates xr6. Your 60ft is definitely killing you, its all in the launch.

A member on here, falcon73, took his xt to the track and his pb was 16.292 @88.81 mph with a 2.493 60ft. Now comparing his to yours you did a quicker time (by 4 tenths) with a slower 60ft. Seeing as the xr6s come equipped with a shorter diff ratio and yours is also modified, your 60ft should be alot quicker, between 2.35 to 2.4s. No doubt the humidity is also a major culprit but with the right conditions your car is certainly capable of posting a quick time.

Anyway, maybe someone with more drag racing knowledge will be able to explain the affects of humidity and hopefully make a better judgement on what your car can do. Im sure you and others out there would like to know, i know i certainly would as my car has exactly the same mods.
