Not to bad on street tires, spinning my wheels and Granny shifting...
I think if I actually drove the GTS a little harder. And put some drag radials on her. I might make a low 8 or a high 7 sec 1/8 mile time...

That supercharger may not be letting your engine breathe. Pull that restriction off if all you get is a 13.85 in the 1/4.
A full weight fox coupe(stock) will run 2 tenths over that.

Well...That's some great information there... The car has only 11K miles on her. So I really don't want to beat the crap out of it... I just took it out to have some fun with some friends.

Ok, im just surprised. It must have more potential in there?

I am quite sure it does. With some D/R's and more aggressive driving it's good for a 12 sec 1/4 mile...

True story. It was a good close run. My nitrous switch broke off before that pass so I was on the motor only.

Nice video, thanks for putting it up.

I really don't get why people post their reaction times in threads like this. :dunno:

Cool that you had fun with your car. I swear I was going 8.0s with similar 60' times. It looks like your car is falling on its face half track. ???

Definitely looks like there is more life in that car w/a set of real tires to fix that 60' time ;)

Thanks for sharing the videos!
