    Hey guys just a few questions about the general performance capabilities of the car in Stock/Vert/Auto form.
    First...what's the 'wet' weight for the GT (it's a CS) auto car?
    What's considered the 'typical' 60ft times/1/4 ET and MPH?
    What's the typical dyno results in stock form?
    She seems reasonably quick but I have not seen much to reference for the cars real world performance in auto/vert form.

    I dunno how much the vert weighs, but with driver I would say in the range of 3800. The autos tend to make about 250 at the wheels. No idea what times you'll pull.

    typical 60 ft times are around 2.0, 2.1 from what i've seen bone stock to the tires with a good driver.

    anywhere from 15s to around 13.5 or so i've seen stock form. depending on driver hah.

    Hey buddy..sure do remember, I still lurk the 5.0 section and probably always will. Car FEELS like she's low 14's or so but it's hard to tell, the torque curve is soo very different than my 306...power/speed is deceiving at times.
