wow these times are all over the place, i took my 5spd GT to the track last summer and ran a 15.7 and all i had done to it was a changed muffler and i took off the airbox so there was no filter and no piping, just wide open air flow to the intake manifold. i had the stock 15 inch gt rims and i shifted at 6000rpm everytime, i did a nasty ass burn out and let the pressure in my front tires to 15lbs. my car is all stock and it ran 15.7 at like 90 something MPH. funny enough that race i spanked an my friends 5spd ALTIMA and he had a Zex Nitrous kit on the car. my celica rips like its brand new and its got mad miles on it.
man it makes me sad for such an amazing car the 6gc is really slow (with a stock engine). my friends rsx type s will run in the 14's and when he talks about it, it depresses me.

you can't underestimate a GSR
i dont want to know what my car would run at the track. in my area, a stealth r/t would be lucky to break into the 14s. stock mustang gts were into the mid to high 16s last year. my car would probly end up around the 19 second mark.
oh and a third gen rx7 last week ran a high 14. damn i live in a good area

Kwanza does have probably the best non-swap/spray timeslip on the site. I'd assume that he's gotten better than that too, seeing as that slip has a 1.259 R/T.. mucho room for improvement. So it's safe to say he's in the 15's.

Umm, I though kwanza was the 13 second one...

And some manual STs will beat automatic GTs.
Brain, yea it does.
not sure how big of a difference in 6th gens, so i have to go to my 7th gen knowledge.
a 7th gen GT-S manual runs mid 15sec, and auto is supposedly low 17s

not sure if that helps?

btw, nice reaction time Kwanza >tongue.gif> you musta been mesmorized by the tree >tongue.gif>
at least you didn't "leave one hangin"
