Depends on traction. I'd say from a low of 12.3 to a high of 13.0 ina 3100lb stang w/ 3.73's.

From personal experience using the gtech on the street and track, the ET is plus/minus a tenth off and the MPH is about 4.5% too high, so your friends 110 would be about 105.

and just because you beat the guy by a car doesnt necessarily mean you will trap higher. My friend use to trap about 1mph higher than me and when we'd race if I got traction first I would put about 1-1.5 cars on him. Most of the time he would beat me by about 2 cars though (him auto vs stick). If the guy you raced was making up some ground then he might be a couple more MPH higher than you.

BTW 105's in general are good for mid 13's with decent driving. Some get into 12's, some high 13's.

MPH HAS NO COROLATION TO ET.. Sorry about the caps.. When I first took my Cobra to the track I had little traction w/stock tires and ran14.06 @108 MPH. When I started to slip the clutch to get better traction I was doing 100 MPH with 13.89 time slip.
Then I ran a 13.72 at 98 MPH.. Go figure. I still like the 108KMPH. Of course I do not tell the friends the time.. Hehe

ummm, mph *absolutely* correlates to ET.

Traction and driver skill (and gearing) are the 3 biggest variables, however.

For instance, I ran a 14.2 @ 109 (track) on worn out crappy tires. 12.5 @ 108 on slicks next pass.

No correlation? [Roll Eyes]

Anyways, a 'Gtech' 111 mph is probably closer to 105-106, and in my book that means mid/upper 12's on slicks at a well prepped track.
