So this past Saturday I took the 16 GT to the track. It is completely 100% stock, except I removed the plastic engine cover. Didn't check tire pressures, didn't remove factory paper air filter. Temp was 90+ and high humidity. On the track I took Advance track off and put shifter in S mode. Did a slight burnout to remove debris from tires. The car is a base, so tires are 235/50/18 Pirelli Zero Nero AS.

1st pass spun some out the hole, ran 13.038 @ 109.62 with a 2.035 60ft

2nd pass didn't spin, 12.956 @ 109.88.

3rd pass didn't spin, 12.950 @ 109.80.

Last pass, spun a little 12.99 @ 110.22, didn't photo?

In good air I have no doubts it'll run a 12.6 @ 112-113.

Fun times! Great track other than being in hot LA. I lived in NOLA for a few years. What are you plans? Goals?

probably leaving it stock, as it was bought to give to my youngest son when he graduates high school in two years. Until then I'm DDing it.

Need a tune. Makes a HUGE difference in drivability in the autos. I did a 12.30 at 115mph also on all season tires in my 2012. Got some spin in 1st too so I think with a good tires I could do 11.99

+1 on tune.

I know with tune, JLT CAI, X pipe and Borla axle back, stock everything else ran 12.4 @113mph with a 2.0 60'. DA was 3300 and temp was in the 90's too. Only thing in my mods at that time that really added power was the tune. Converter brought it to a 1.7 60' and 11.9 run.

That is impressive. My bolt-on S550 traps the same but my best ET is only a 12.9. I have the same 235s and they're terrible but that auto seems to make up for them.

It doesn't spin. Had a couple of people at the track come check the car out. If my son was driving it would've gone 12.2xx as he is much lighter than me.

That is an impressive 60ft with those tires. Car is running strong too. My best is a 12.305 (tuned and exhaust 2012 5.0 on all seasons). I now have mickey thompson street comps which aren't super sticky but i can tell on the street they are stickier than the general g-max AS. I'm not worried about getting drag radials or anything, just want to have some fun. I've ran probably 15 total times last year and I'd say 10 of them have been between 12.305-12.50. The rest I botched the start or tried to launch too hard and spun out off the line. How do you launch? My best 60 is around 1.90 taking off with one foot on the brake loading the suspension to about 1100 rpm then smashing it when the light turns green. Also do you use select shift or just leave it in D?
