Took the GT out to the track NEW BEST

[HoustonGT]

Hey guys and gals, took the GT out to the track tonight with my buddies and GF. There was a big meet out there and alot of awesome cars.. Now on to the best part of the night. NEW BEST
The car was having trouble hooking up especially on H&R SuperSports and 18" Chromies, but i finally got it down. First run it wasn't too good since i drove straight off the highway and lined up with the car still hot . Let it cool and then let her rip.
1.) Set the 285/35/18 Sumitomos to 30psi
2.) Spare and Jack taken out
3.) Took headlight out
MODS: K&N Drop-In, X-Pipe, Catback

I was really amazed with this thing and if any of you guys can chime in and let me know what kind times i would be looking at if i had traction with my 102.72 trap speed i would really appreciate it. BTW, On the 13.70 run my stupid ass left the window down...I robbed myself of a 13.6 :cuss:

Next is a set of DR's and some 3.73's with no other power mods...13.3's Here i come

those seem like great #'s for the mods youve got! I dont think Id be able to break the 14's. What did you launch at? What Sumitomos?

 

[JVENOM]

congrats on your times!

13.7 with those mods? holy crap.

I wish i had a 1/4 mile track near to see what i could run.

Sumitomo HTR-ZII's . Not badass tires for grip by any means, but for $160 a piece in a 285/35/18's, they're a GREAT tire for the money. Next set of tires will be BFG KDW2's

 

[Jefe]

those are the sumitomo's I have....damn....Ive got 315's on the rear

Damn nice Times!!! were u power shifting??

 

[HoustonGT]

Nope, no power shifting. I like my transmission just fine the way it is lol

Great times. Looks like your car runs great for the mods it has.

If possible, cut that 60 foot time down to 2.0 and you'll be in bliss. 3.73s and DRs will be a HUGE help to your time.

I think if you had some sticky tires you could hit 12's w/ the gears...Just practice and you will get it...GL:thumbsup:
