Hey ya'll.
So, i have a "friend" who just moved from cali to here in utah. He claimed his GT ran 12.947 with only gears (4.10) and some drag radials and LCA's.
I called BS on that, and he showed me a time slip. I couldnt believe it. his 60 ft was 1.734 and trapped 105 and sure enough his 12.947 time was exactly what it said. I checked the other lane to make sure he wasn't lying and it was in the 15's.
Can this be that a completeley stock GT (300hp) hit 12s?
I asked him if he had a video and he said no and pulled out a few more time slips from his glovebox right in the low low 13's like 13.1 and 13.0.
This is great news. I thought his car must be a factory freak or something. I rode in it and it really doesnt seem any faster than my 07 with 4.10 and sct2 tune. Then he launched it hard and can see how. He got off the line QUICK.
So i tell him i wanna race from a roll since i have stock tires and he has some bgf radials. from a roll it was real close. up to 80 he only had 1/2 car then gained him when he shifted and then had to shift and he gained a little then we were neck and neck up to 105.
So it proved his top end wasnt really any stronger than mine.
So, iguess what i am getting at is these cars can produce great et's if driven well.
FTR, he claimed with stock 3.55 and suspension, tires he ran 13.48 something.
He has only managed 14.0 here with an unprepped track and 4200ft elevations. I have yet to run the new babe, and hope to pop in the 13's this year with the mods i have planned.
Thoughts?
