3.5L track times anyone?

Has anyone taken their Sebring 3.5 sedan FWDto a dragstrip? If so what did it run? Motortrend got a 15.3@90 from a AWD sedan, and I think the FWD would do slightly better from less drivetrain loss and weight.

RE: 3.5L track times anyone?

I couldnt find a 3.5L. I guess ill have to be a pioneer like back inmy Gen1 Lightning days.

Ill see what this car is capable of and see what my options are, then go from there. Any bets on times?

Its only got 70 miles on it, so once its broken in a bit I probably will. I know it will be a far cry from the 13.1@106 the Magnum put down, but just maybe with a STS turbo.......

Will do. Maybe I wont have the slowest car out there![:@]Chrysler says this new 6 speed auto gets with the program, so maybe the magazine drivers arent getting the most out of it.
