If it's a GT, there is no way you're putting down 250RWHP. Is your car an auto or stick? If it's a stick, you are probably in the 230RWHP range and an auto around 215-220RWHP. As far as the 1/4, low-mid 14's.

Dunno about that, it is a convertible several hundred pounds heavier than the coupe. Also launch is a little different in the convertible.

I think everyone misunderstood you as being stock for whatever reason.

With headers and a couple intake mods, it's quite possible you have 250+ to the rear wheels.

Sorry, you are correct about the weight. As far as the launch, convertible have more flex due to the lack of stiffness thanks to the top. Part of the weight is the added bracing to make up for the top, but it can't completely correct it.
