[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 1677989, member: 19833"] I know what the "listed" curb weight is, but have seen several new GT's weighing in at considerably more. He states, "we weighed IT in" meaning the car not the car with driver I assume? I assume this because others who have weighed their GT in with driver are weighing in at over 3700lbs. It appears to be a very HEAVY car. As for the spinning launching thing, I'm not sure either argument has been fully proven or disproven. From my personal experience and that of friends, a spinning launch has resulted in inflated trap speeds. On many websites you visit people will have their "quickest" track time and their "fastest" time listed seperately in their signature. In all instances that I have seen, the "fastest" (highest trap speed) had the slower 60' and thus slower 1/4 mile. Hence, it was not the quickest and the fastest. A 12.50@108mph is absolutely incredible to me for the little mods done to the car. I am very impressed. It will be interesting to see what this car is capable of in daily driven street setup as this run was all due to the launch as the car was still only making 300 at the wheels and weighing in at 3600lbs. I dont remember the new GT's tranny gear ratios, does anyone know what RPM it will turn in 5th Gear with 4.30 rear Gears at say 70mph? [/QUOTE]
