I doubt anyone has the answer to that, just need to get a g-tech pro to measure that.

I don't know why you're mentioning no spare tire/jack and mobile 1 fluids, they have little to no affect on performance in a 1/4 mile. The mobile 1 itself doesn't make the vehicle faster my friend. Sorry I can't answer your question for sure, but probably in the high 16s-17s, I duno...something comparable to my truck when it was stock ha. Definitely slow and unexciiting lol.

lose the spare tire/jack, even back seat, less weight the better. I have a rear-seat delete, no jack/spare in my cobra. Loses about 100 lbs.

As a general rule in the drag racing loop; lose 100lb gain a 10th.

Using synthetic fluids all 'round (engine, tranny, and diff) has been proven to increase horsepower.

the spare tire and jack should be less than 20 pounds on that car.

Easiest way to lose 100 lbs: find 1600 places to lose an ounce.
