Default 1999-2004 GT Times?

My buddies got a 1999-2004 mustang gt, its an auto, almost positive its got a cat-back(he doesn't know though for sure). What sort of times would he be running? Ive got a 94 Camaro Z28 with a decent amout of mods. and I'm almost positive I will take him(not trying to start anything). But what would he be running in the 1/4?

I wasn't trying to sound rude but you can take the same exact car/ driver and run it at Atco then run it at Bandimere and easily run a full second slower at Bandimere. Then you can tack the same car/driver/track and run in the winter, then come back in the summer and run .3 slower. So you can see that the track and weather can throw the time off by nearly a second and a half, so I don't see how anyone can even give you a close to accurate answer without at least knowing that. Then when you throw in the fact that every car runs differently and ever driver is different (even with an auto) it's nearly impossible to say. But my guess is anywhere from a 13.8-15.4

at sea level, very low 14's are likely.... unless the car is a dog.

Theres a lot of factors that come into play when runing at any kind of track. If its his first time at the track and if he knows what hes doing while staging. From the looks your track is at 1100 ft elevation. I say first time he should run a 14.4-14.7 at about 95ish mph at trap speed.

yes, a new edge gt with a good driver is good for very low 14s. (some have ran high 13s in five speeds.)
