    My Mustang club rented out Englishtown today, but instead of running my Shelby I ran my 13 Durango RT. Made 15 passes, one thing for sure is it does not like heat. All I have done is the AFE CAI. Best run was 15.5@90 mph. I tried several different ways, traction control on and off, tow haul and manual shift. Manual shift is the way to go and I had to power brake off the line with the pedal about 3/4's of the way down. I only used first and 2nd gear, by the time I crossed the finished line I shifted into 3rd. I tried shifting into 3rd before the finish line and ran slower. Anyway, only 3 runs were in the 15's as the longer I ran the slower it got. So I had to let it sit and cool before I ran it again. I used 87 Shell gas with a 1/4 of a tank. I also weighed the D and it came in at 5655 lbs. with me in it, so subtract 220 for an actual weight of 5435. Not bad for the family hauler. We had a Stang run an 8.99@ 153 mph.
