I just hit 13.52@103 a week ago w/ my bone stock gt w/ 3.55 gears.

I put my tp to 21 and im pulling 2.0's 60's w/ 2500rpm starts. I think i might be able to get a 1.9, the one time i got a 2.015 w/ a lil bit of wheel hop (3k start though)

Its no question though ur 60, if you cant get atleast a 2.1 w/ rev up. then just try going from idle, you should get i would think a 2.1 w/ that. 2.1 60ft=13's

after getting terrible 60' on my first couple of runs at the track (extremely embarrising when you spin all of 1st and 2nd, got a 14.6 my very first run at the track with same mods) I decided to really baby it off the line and that significantly helped my 60'. It gave me a very good idea of what a decent launch would feel like. After that I just kept adding a little rpm and tried to feather the clutch as much as possible. I hopin to get a 1.8x 60' tomorrow and maybe break the into the 12s. I am by no way an experienced driver as I have probably only made about 15-18 runs. After doing a slow launch, you will realize that you really can't just go WOT and have a good 60' time.

ok so its only the 60ft killing me,
Like I said, that car with those mods in those weather conditions should be traping higher than 102.
I would think the same thing unless the altitudewas in play. I would think 104 is reasonable for a manual 05+ gt in stock config. Its best to take full adv of good weather to see exactly what a car can do...can't beat cool weather and a well prepped track.
