Auto or 6speed? Your 60' will matter A LOT but you should be trapping in the mid to low 12's... with sticky tires, 11's.

why dont you search instead of relying on everyone else to do the research for you?

with your ignorance as to your car's capabilities i expect you'll be in the mid 14s

AND TURN THE DAMN CAPS LOCK OFF

Its guys like you that make people not like asking advice on this site...If everyone did a search before asking a question in this forum, this forum would not exsist. 99% of the threads on this page are things that are previously discussed. I think it is hilarious to see some of you guys get all upset when someone posts a question(whether its been discussed or not) If it has, then dont reply, let the people who wish to help them reply.

I agree partially with you. Search is definatly not an obsolete feature of this site. There is a reason for people to search and not post. It is to prevent clutter on the board. If you guys only knew how much work Brains puts into this site to make it run faster and what not you would understand better I guess. Adding threads that are repetative just makes his job harder, and there is only so much he can do. However I don't think there should be people scared to post because they think they will get the search button thrown into their face. They should do research and read the sticky's; if they can't find it, at least they tried. People however should not respond with only search. At least answer the question. It takes just as much time to say the answer as it does to type a bunch of crap. If it's the person's first few posts let him know what he needs to do...nicely. If it's someone who has a blatent disregard for the efforts of this board and refuse to search then their threads will be locked. End of story.

Stock wheels, rare though as they only made a very small amount of the tranny's with those wheels.

Salad Shooters. Very rare, only 2000 WS6s are supposed to have them and only about 1-5% of them came with them from the factory.
