88 GT VS. 01 GT
Top end the 01 GT will pull hard. 01 GT's are listed for 14.1 and we all know when these cars are tested they aren't driven aggressively.</P>
I believe there are a couple of people here with bone stock 99+ GT's nearly 13.80 stock. All you have to do is get that 60 foot down to 2.0 and the rest is cake. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

Hey Dan, let me ask you about this "2.5 60's" talk.. What do these numbers mean? What are good number to have when racing? </P>
I'm interested in some drag radials to go along a 17x9 rim. What about you? </P>

your 60' time is how long it takes you to get to that point. the faster you get there the more your et will benefit. to get good 69' times you need to have a nice setup for suspension and tires. to leave as hard as possilble.

69 times!! What were you thinking about you horny bastard!! HAHA jk man!! <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
60 FOOT, there is a marker after the light tree at the drag strip. All these markers are indicated on your time slip and they can help you adjust your car greatly to maximize it's performance on the track.</P>
Idealy, you want a 1.9 second 60' and faster to see what your car really can do.</P>
If you could get a bone stock 99+ 5 speed GT to rip a 1.7 or a 1.8 60' time you could see well into the 13's bone stock!! </P>

in my opinion both car are almost even is a drag race, it all comes down to the driver. I haven't raced my 90 gt yet, since I'm still working on it. But I can tell you this, I can hang on to the 01'-up gts with my slightly modded 01' ranger until the gov. kicks in. Its funny as hell to see thier faces when a 4x4 is a hard kill.
