Your car is falling flat on it's face or so it appears.....
I'm not sure why some people think nothing is wrong, a stock 99+ GT with a 1.8 60' should get well into the 13's with that kind of traction.
Fact of the matter is, you really need gears, you are probably bogging the snot out of that hog all the way out to the 330 or further? Also, like 2000GT4.6 said, something is absolutely wrong with the way your car is running, you might want to get your car on a dyno and figure out is your car is leaning out or pig rich....

Yeah, i've said this before, but ill say it again. I raced a mid 90's GT running 13.4-13.5; he had dr's as well. we were even up until about 55-60 mph, the very top of 2nd and all of 3rd it was like I hit the brakes. He put about a bus or two on me after 60mph. I'm not sure if that means anything to you guys. Hard to compare two different cars, but there was just a drastic change at 60mph.

i'm still feeling like there isnt anything wrong with your car
ive got a partial exhaust including an o/r H, catback, the some minor intake mods (K&N filter + silencer removed[&:]), and 4.10's with MT DR's
before the tires i went 14.545@99.37 w/ 2.226 60'
and after them i went 14.086@99.09 w/ 2.050 60'
if your trapping low, its because of your good 60'
try spinning the hell of the line next time, i'll bet you'll be in the 99's with a 2.3+ 60',just DO NOT bog

I have always heard every .1 60' you improve the car should go .2 faster. It looks like to me his exhaust didn't make any difference, just the better launch.
I would still just get it dynoed. You don't need to pay for a tune yet, just dyno it and check the a/f first. If its close at least you know its not that.

im still not convinced it is THAT horrible
he's got no gears, running a 1.8 60' and trapping at mid 97's for a 14.07
i have gears, pulling a much worse 60', and am only trapping 99.09 for a 14.086
sure, we should BOTH be well into the 13's,
i dont know, im sure perhaps a dyno tune would help him (and perhaps me) but im not yet convinced that something is drastically wrong
