I figure im at around 325hp (conservatively) at the crank. Take in a 15% drivetrain loss, and I figure im around 275hp at the wheels. The weight plus the driver should be around 3,200 pounds, so this roughly equals a 13.26 @102 MPH.

I figure I should be able to hit mid to high 13's no problem. The car has no issues with traction, it hooks up great with bald street tires, so I can't wait to see what it does with slicks.

Hmmm i might say you are a little lower on the horses. What kind of gears are you running.

I am going to say 14.7 on streets and 14.4 on slicks if you are running somthing lower then a 3.23

Maybe 14.0 on slicks if you are running a 3.73 or higher.

Too be under the 14.8 the first time out on the track would still be a good time in a mildly stalled 3rd gen. That still leaves a little room for improvement and still lots of room to grow in the future.

Don't blame me, blame the 16 people that voted for weird-looking yellow cowl-hooded weirdness.
