My friend took his 96 gt (mostly stock, auto tran.) to the track.. he pulled a 14.1 so i ask to check out his timeslip, because im wondering howthis is possible. To my disbelief, his 60' time was a 1.4, on stock tires!! This makes me mad because the best i ever got out of my nittos was a 1.9... It was his first time at the track too! compliments to him for this amazing launch, but im just wondering how the hell this was possible. discuss.

HAHAHAHA



its not possible.

My buddy pulls the front tires rather high on his 1.4-1.5 launches. On stock tires a 2.0 would be pretty damn respectable. I'm hoping to just hit 1.9 with Nittos, I'd be very happy with that.

for him to pull a 1.4 short time and run 14.1, he would have had to coast through the traps, powering down at half track..

Yea, the timers messed up. If he pulled a 1.4 the front wheels would be up at least a few inches.
i agree. we know from experience

1- stock GT even with slicks 6-7k dump, dead hookwill not cut 1.4x 60'
2- stock tires WILL NEVER cut 1.4 60' even if the car would have a 500rwhp.

simply clocks were messed up at track. your buddy probably ran 15s with 2.x 60'

I think a video might do it more justice than a timeslip.

no offense, but 1.6 short times and runs mid 9s? i pull 1.6 short times and im in the low 12s...does your buddy has a VERY strong car and he is somehow babying it out?
