Well, actually it is an '01 trans am WS-6, auto, and when i shifted from second to third, it hit like my rev limiter, so it stalled for a second, cuz it hit it twice. People told me it was my fuel cut off, and i should have it tuned. But I was really happy with it, no modifications, and one guy was really surprised (Sweet Cheeks) on here, when i ran cuz of my time. But i've even seen firehawks with mods run 13.2s, kinda crazy tho...people around here call it the factory freak...lol thanx guys tho for the comments...

wait, so YOU shifted from second to third? i would just put it in drive and hit the gas. manually shifting an auto is never a good idea...
and as for my mods they are in my sig. the converter is whats killing me though, only 1.8-9 60' and i lost 2mph in comparable weather
if your goal is consistent 12's i would get
1) lid/filter
2) cutout
3) gutted cats (if emissions dont apply to you)
3) tires
4) subframe connectors (so you dont twist the body)
5) maybe a y-pipe if you want a little more exhaust flow

now, in the dog days of summer this may/may not have you in the 12's but you will be close so dont get down on yourself if your doing 13.1x again but this time in 100* weather.
