Well I've owned my car a year and a half now and I had no idea what it would run, so I decided to hit the strip once before the season ended. I was pretty surprised at the results. I didn't think this car would run what she did. I mean shes got a great driver mod, but that's about it haha. 2000 GT for anyone that doesn't know.

"Performance" Mods include:

BBK CAI
BBK 75MM TB
C&L upper intake elbow
Magnaflow catback
UDP
Sniper 93 octane tune with global timing advanced 1 degree over the sniper so 3 total over stock.
Cool dense air at the track probably helped some too.


I was running 275/35/18 Toyo Proxes 4's on all 4 corners with HEAVY aftermarket wheels. I got 16 runs in with a best 60 ft of 1.99 running a 13.72 at almost 101 MPH. I thought that was pretty healthy for an almost bone stock car with heavy wheels/tires on it. It's got 80k miles on it; what do you guys think? Good, bad, average? I went there thinking I would be in the mid 14's maybe low if I was lucky, and I never thought I would break the 2.0 second 60 foot with all season street tires.

Good air was certainly helpful, but I would say that is real good with your mods, stock gears, heavy wheels and street tires. 16 runs is a lot of runs for one time to the track. You were obviously also hot lapping it.

Sounds perfect to me...most of the guys in the 14s just cant drive. lol

my brothers 2000 gt auto has pretty much the same stuff, small bolt ons, intake, tune exhaust but he does have 4.10 gears and he runs 13.6s on street tires with chrome 17 inch wheels

I mean, even my NPI bolt on Auto with PI intake and tune was running 14.0s at 101-102 mph

Both autos, but just shows you what the car can do...generally at that power level the manual cars have the ability to run faster with a good driver.

What version of Special Forces do you have?

I ask because v1.x and v2.x handle the "octane selection" Global Spark Advance setting differently...

Yeah it was definitely hot lapped haha best run came toward the end of the night too. I gave her 2 15 minutes breaks, but pretty much hot all night. Trans started getting sloppy toward the end when I called it quits it was definitively hot.

Oh and BTW this was loaded street weight, nothing removed, I even had my emergency kit (15lbs) my amp and sub in the back.

V2.3, come on Cliffy! I bothered you about 300 times when I was doing this tune! haha You're the one that taught me that the 2.3V does 2 deg advance on the 93 octane selection, unless I missed something which is entirely possible haha.

That's a solid pass on all season tires. More drag oriented suspension (UPR Products) and drag radials would easily put you in the 12s, but I wouldn't suggest daily driving on drag radials.
