I did the whole GPS calculations ON VIDEO and the same people who doubted that I did 155 mph wanted a video of a GPS and my speedo. Well that I did and then they doubted the GPS. So there is no hope.

On a side note, I was really impressed with how well the car handled those speeds. It was stuck to the road and handled like a dream.....I kinda figured the fake hoodscoop would blow off LOL,

Yeah... I know what you mean. No vibration what so ever. Just dont do it on a mindy night or you may find your self looking at the sky as the nose of your car is picked up. Im sure there isnt much downforce at all on the GT's. But never the less... it is a very stable car at those speeds.

What rpm are you at cruising down the highway at 70?? Also, what kind of hp gains did you see after the programmer and gears, do you know any 1/4 mile times after those mods??

Whats your best time right now? Ususally is you add 4.10's and sticky tires then you will pick up about half a second. So you would go from a 14.0 to a 13.5 in my experience with gears and tires.

Do you think i could get into the mid 13's with my current mods plus programmer and headers?

I barely do with the 4.10s but that's on stock rubber and I'm not real experienced at the track LOL. With the stickier clutch and 4.10s, I almost had to learn to drive the car all over again.....with my minor mods, I can average 13.8 - 13.9 all night at just around 100 MPH. The short times are what kills me. I either spin or bog on teh sh1tty gatorbacks. [:'(]

RE: fun facts about 4.10s
Well, i haven't actually run it at the track yet, i was wanting to wait till i got most of my mods on. I would like to get 4.10s, but i do too much highway driving right now. I have never heard an accurate stock gt 1/4 mile time. Are you saying that someone who knows how to drive a 5-speed will be in low 14's.
