With the GTO its all driver, I am a track junkie so I see alot of different cars at the track. I personally know of stock GTO's on nitto drag radials Going as fast as 12.8 and at the same track seeing the same car with a different driver going 14.2. The worst I've ever seen is a 04 Cobra run 14.0-14.2 all night long. When you have to shift it yourself there is a greater margin of error.

I was at the track w/ Dragon along with a couple of Gto's one LS1 and one LS2, they both were 14.1-14.5.

Josh,
Did you put your Drag Radials on yet? Maybe I'll try and head to the track on the 27th.

I sure did... they mount up just perfectly. I went with the Mickey Thompsons. It should be fun on the 27th. Hopefully you can make it!

BTW -- I coughed up the dough and got an xBox 360. It's the *****. I love Need For Speed and Call of Duty 2.

Well I didn't get out there until about 1:30 or so...it was a good time though. There were only about 25 cars there...made 12 or so passes. Best I could manage was 13.249 @ 105.xx...(same ET twice)

Time for a SPEC clutch, my stocker is toast! 2.03s 60' was the best I could do on what's left of my clutch...

I assume you didn't make it out there Dragon? Or did you leave before I got there? Track was prepped real well, but DA was up there (almost 3000')...effing vegas...

Not sure when I'm going to get out next...no way I'm running again until I get the clutch upgraded...

Next time you head out there let me know.

See ya.
