I AM TAKING MY 06 GT TO A 1/8TH MILE DRAG WAY THIS WEEKEND TO SEE WHAT MY NEW 4.10 GEARS WILL DO. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT DOWN THE 1/8TH, I WAS UNHAPPY WITH MY TIMES. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE STRIP WHICH IS ABOUT A 45 MIN DRIVE AND DID NOT LET THE CAR COOL DOWN. HOW LONG SHOULD I LET IT COOL OFF BEFORE I MAKE MY 1ST PASS AND ARE THERE ANY OTHER TIPS OUT THERE. I HAVE INSTALLED A C&L COLD INTAKE WITH THE DIABLO SPORT STREET FIRM SHIFT TUNE, MAGNAFLOW MUFFLERS, AND THE FRPP 4.10 GEARS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS STOCK. WHAT TYPE OF TIMES ARE GOOD FOR AN S197 AUTOMATIC GT IN THE 1/8TH.

 

ALL CAPS FTL!

Hood up for at least 45-60 minutes. I do one hot run upon arrival, then let it cool down. No idea on times for the 05+.

 

WHAT DID IT RUN BEFORE? WHAT OTHER MODS DO YOU HAVE? DO YOU FIND IT ANNOYING TO SORT THROUGH MY POST WITH ALL OF THE CAPS?

so do we...

 

IT RAN A 9.0802 AT 79.92 MPH IN THE 1/8TH AND 60 FT TIME 2.1581. THIS WAS WITH THE C&L COLD AIR INTAKE AND THE DIABLOSPORT TUNE. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MAGNAFLOWS OR THE 4.10 GEARS AT THE TIME. I WAS ALSO RUNNING 275/50 17 OVERSIZED TIRES. I HAVE DROPPED BACK TO 255/50 TIRES NOW.

P.S. - I SUCK AT TYPING AND THAT'S WHY I USE ALL CAPS.

 

We can tell.

How was traction? Was that an issue for you? Did you see a change in your 60' times? That is a pretty good indicator.
