Last video with stock gears
I just got a set of 3.55 gears and am selling my subs to install a lightweight k-member and get some different wheels. I know most people say go for 3.73's and above but I honestly only need a little push in 3rd gear. My 0-60 times are consistently 4.5-4.9seconds (The one in video is a 4.52) I need to keep my fuel economy and 3.55's will help with 3rd and 4th gear alot. My car weighed 3290lbs before the subs were installed. So after they are removed and the new k-member installed I am hoping to hit 3150lbs. That is after removing a few more key things. Enjoy the video and tell me what you think.

Completely flat ground. This car has surprised me since the day I bought it. I ran an 8.71 before my dyno tune on bald tires. The car has ran dead even with an 04 M3 SMG and a 99 Corvette from a stop. I can't explain why it is fast. I have never had anotehr bolt on GT outrun me. I even raced an S197 with full exhaust from a 40 roll and I put a length on him to 100. Afterwards he told me he just had it dyno'd and made 310whp. I don't know why but she is fast.

Not too far off really. I live in NC too and my times have always been a little faster then others on the net for some reason. I think elevation around here is pretty good, with decent tracks. My current stick car and my old automatic '03 went mid 8's in the 1/8th with only x-pipe, cat-back, intake, and LCA's on street tires, so yours seems normal. What track?
