What can I expect??
Taking my bone stock 02GT 5spd to the track on Friday night, what kind of times do these cars run? Im guessing high 14's?
I know how to drive I have an 11sec 5spd Nova, my question is based on 4.6 owners previous experience, best launch techniques and shift points for these cars? I have only driven this car about a thousand miles.Car is bone stock except MGW shifter I am running 255/45 street tires.
Little advice is always nice, thanks

The best I've heard from a reliable source is 13.7. Low 14's is more common.

RE: What can I expect??
if youve had the car for 1K miles..
I'll be surprised if you can get a 14.4
your 60' goes anywhere near 2.1 and your ET is gonna die.
get lucky and pull a 2.0 or so, then i'd say 14.2's are cake
good luck, (and remember a bit of spin is better than alot of bog
)
