Default First Time With GTO

Today was first time I ran GTO on the drag strip. My car is stock with exception of cat-back delete, Predator tune, and GMM. I was running stock KDWS tires on 17"s. Here are the top 3 times:

1) 13.283 @ 106.55mph with 2.064 60'

2) 13.393 @ 105.72mph with 2.058 60'

3) 13.344 @ 106.60mph with 2.052 60'

Are those decent times?

Here is a video of 13.393 run going against slightly modded VW R32: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIyAJ...=33525&page=17

For a stick on those tires, I'd say you did pretty damn good. Maybe I'll see you up there one day.

Thanks. I was honestly expecting to run some mid to high 13s, as everybody told me that LS1 GTOs are really slow. Not that my times were blistering, but definitely quick enough for me. I'll try to get some DRs and break into 12s with no more mods, but I don't know if I would do better at all since I never really drove anything on DRs.

I ran the same time with dr's as street tires because on the dr's I got major wheel hop.
