i've heard .3 sec slower for the auto. 13.5 for manual and 13.8 for auto.

if you can give me the transmission ratio's and rear diff ratio then I will calculate it for you.

Default RE: Automatic 1/4 mile times

here's what I get...

0-60 4.88 sec
60 ft 2.12 sec
1/8 8.78 sec
1/4 13.67 sec


this assumes power-breaking to 2500 rpm on launch

my model predicts stock 5 spd at 13.53 in the 1/4. I think the difference is a little extra torque/power loss in the automatic drive train due to torque converter & other stuff.

If these numbers are all true then that 93 tune from Brenspeed combined with the C&L intake is a heck of a mod, 'cause it dropped .5 seconds for me in the 1/4 mile!

paco_pony, do you have a choice on your model for a vert? How much does that slow an auto GT down?

I have an 06 Vert and my 1/4 time was 12.794, this is with JBA LT's, H-pipe, Magnapack, C&L CAI and Evolution tune. However, this was on a Mustang Dyno which had a simulated 1/4 mile so I am not sure how close these are. Still the darn thing seems pretty fast!
