wait, so you've got 215 hp stock, so with 4.10s, cai, and exhaust, granted, you do weight about 300 lbs lighter but depending on the year of LT1 Trans Am, he has 275-285 hp stock and with exhaust, probably more, same as yours. so....

A bone stock LT1 trans am with drag radials should run 8.8s. Sounds like driver error to me.

LT1 > 96 GT, all day, everyday. With your mods, you shouldnt be nothing but a 14.5 in the 1/4, MAYBE, more likely 14.7-14.8. He should be running 13.9-14.0 stock, and with his DR's he should be runnin 13.7 or so. Definately a driver error on his part, and I'm really surprised you ran a 9.3 in the 1/8 with your mods, you must be a pretty good driver. Avg times for a 99-04 GT are 9.1-9.3 in the 1/8 mile.

How do you figure? A CAI adds pretty much nothing, by exhaust do you mean headers and and ORY or just a cat back (which adds only a couple of HP)? The 4.10's are great but don't help much without a tire. A 96 GT is a low 15 second car in stock form, I don't see your mods giving much more than .5-.7 tenths. We are not trying to be dicks or hate on you, we just want to make sure people here get accurite info.
