ive yet to witness them run anywhere near a mid 13, best is a quite high 13, with 90% of them going 14.0-14.2

people claim they can run it, and im sure a really good driver will. same as people say foxes are high 14s, when i have seen my father run 13.97 out of his stock fox and a 14.20 out of my mothers.

as far as my mods.. ive got king cobra clutch, blue thunder shifter, k&n filter, no smog or air silencer, 3:73s, ceramic shorties, 2.5 o/r h pipe, flows, electric fan, etc.

Foxes do not run 13s stock, how is your dad going to make a high 14 sec car a high 13 sec car. 200 whp at best in a car that weighs right under 3000 lbs if a notch does not equal 13s in stock form. It is not going to happen. Also mid 13s is an average time for a manual 05+ GT. In my auto I ran 13.9 with a 2.3 60ft stock. What do you trap, roll races are top end so usually trap speeds indicate what each car will do against each other.

trap 98ish

fathers trapped 102 and 101.

and yes magazines claim 13.4, but it isnt the average redneck driver. i have seen 10-15 gts race and no 13.4s

988ish, stock S197s trap 100 to 102 stock. Also there is no way a stock fox will trap 102.

BURN!

DC:
Where do you live? because apparently your father is channeling all of the driving ability in the area, causing high 14-low 15 second cars to run high 13s, and mid 13 second cars to run like sh*t.

im not saying foxes all run 13s.. retards, i told you mine with bolt ons only goes low 14, im saying my father pulled high 13s and low low 14s, 13s from the notch and 14s from the hatch, both were bought new in 87 and under 30,000 kilometers, maybe foxes aroudn are beat too much, i know what ive seen them run.

EDIT: careful homeslice. You should know the rules.

I dont know about you... but i really dont consider 14.7's low 14's. If thats low 14's I must be in the low 13's.

So Ryan, according to your calculations, my new GT is either a 14 second car or a low 12 second car depending on if your dad drives it?
