I went out with a buddy of mine two nights ago with his gtech(the better one i guess) in my new 04 gt 5spd. As of yet I've done absolutely nothing to it other than put just short of 1700 miles on it. With myself, him and probably about 100 lbs of extra weight in the trunk, i got the following numbers:</P>


60ft: 2.303s</P>


1/8:9.219@80.59km/h</P>


1/4: 14.148 @100.38km/h</P>


since i had all the rest of the weight in the car and the extra person, I wasnt expecting too much. I only launched at around 1500, had no wheel spin, but bogged it like no other off the line<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">. Im just wondering if this is about an average time or a slow time. the road i did it on is also going slightly uphill,its biggest advantages being its perfectly straight and out of sight from any other roads. Next time i get a chance to play with the gtech, i'l take all the crap out and find a flat place to do it. I'm fairly confident that i could break into the 13's at the track, but only time will tell. as far as te accuracy of the gtech, the friend who had it used itgoing down the trackfew months back and got a 12.927 in his TT RX7. the time on the board was 12.96, so it seems fairly accurate. i cant remember how close the speeds were.</P>


I much appreciate any/all feedback you all can give me</P>

Good, a stock GT can see 13.8 with a driver capable of doing so...</P>
