OK, sorry, newbie question: I'm ashamed to say I haven't taken my 2004 40th Anniversary GT 5-speed to the strip yet. I have an 8th mile local but a 1/4 mile within day-trip distance. I'd like to hit the quarter mile to really see what she's got.

The only mod I have so far is just a set of Magnaflow mufflers and tips and Toyo z-rated tires. The car is otherwise a stock 5-speed 4.6L 2-valve GT with the traction control button (i'm thinking OFF, right?). All the data I can find online is for modified cars of one kind or another. My question is, what times and speeds should I expect out of this car at the ol' test and tune? Also: how can I find out what my rear end gear ratio is?

Thanks in advance!

expect between 14-14.5 if you can launch well and not miss a shift. Turn your Traction control off, and your stock rear end gears are 3.27s.

Anything else?

Thanks! What speeds should I be seeing at the end of that run?

I would expect low 14's in the 1/4, but if your an excellent driver and know how to launch, you could hit high 13's, (very rare though). Speed should be alittle over 100mph I believe. I dont have a clue what it will do in the 1/8. All I have here where I live is an 1/8, so does anyone know what I would run. I have an auto, with mac o/r h-pipe, flows, and k&n filter. Thanks

Beautiful color, get all that goofy black stuff off it though. Totally ruins the car.

Anyways, it's CAPABLE of a very high 13's and low 14's. But don't expect any better than a high 14 because it takes a good driver to run those times, it takes a better driver thanyou think, so don't take offense.

I don't know. I'm 18, and on my 10th run EVER down a 1/4 mile I landed a 14.203 @ 97.67 without nitrous. The only three mods I had at the time were the Flowmasters the previous owner put on, a BBK fenderwell CAI (chrome, all for show, thing gets so warm it isn't doing any good ) with K&N filter, and the Tri-ax that I put on. Factory tires that are very bald. I can't consider myself exactly a skilled driver, at least for the 1/4 mile, and I definitely had traction problems, but I ran a 14.2. Traction control off of course. My best with it on (left it on after restarting the car, forgot to turn it off is all) was a 14.443 @ 96.98 MPH. It did pull the timing back for a few seconds because of the spin.

Edit: Forgot to mention I have a 5-speed

Those are pretty good times for your mods and just your 10th time ever down the track.
