    Sorry it's only an 1/8 mile track, but it still shows me alot...

    Mods:
    JLT II CAI
    SCT/JLT canned 93 Octane tune w/ rear O2 sensors turned off (at track only)
    Steeda pulleys
    manual car w/ stock Pirelli tires

    my best pass:
    60': 2.03
    1/8 ET: 8.47
    trap: 85.07

    I did manage a couple other 2.03 60's as well as one 2.01. If you work the clutch right, these cars seem pretty easy to launch.
    This shows me ALOT because my full bolt-on Fox 5.0 w/ AFR's, TFS1 cam, & Cobra intake ran a best of 8.44 @ 84.6 w/ a 1.96 60'. The only time I ran it in the 1/4, it ran a 13.21 @ 105.1 and during that pass the 1/8 was an 8.53 @ 84.2.

    It amazes me that I spent years and thousands of dollars building up my Fox 5.0, but I go get an 06 GT and put $800 in it and it runs the same times LOL

    For comparison's sake, a friend of mine took his automatic 05 GT as well, his only mods are 3.73 gears (without a tuner I might add... we told him he needs one).
    Here was his best pass:
    60': 2.06
    1/8 ET: 8.87
    1/8 trap: 79.67

    not too shabby for his car either!! I think the 3.73's were screwing with his tune since the speedo wasn't dialed in. Surely this throws off some load calculations & fuel tables??? It was putting out a little bit of brown (fuel) smoke.
