Default Thanx for the advice

Well after reading the posts by other members on the site I took my stock GXP back to the track. And followed the insructions by leaving the traction control on and starting in D then shifting to M after the car shifts into second. Doing that along with great weather is what got me this time.

Run info

07 stock GXP
Temp 37 degrees
pulled air filter
29 front tire psi


60 2.14
330 5.86
1/8 9.01@78mph
1/4 13.82@100mph

The best part is I have it on video enjoy

Damn that's even better than I did stock with a slightly higher 60' time. I didn't pull the filter though and it was no where near as cold. Congrats bro!

I am little newer to the forums but glad to see a few local guys since I am from Springfield as well. I have yet to run my GXP yet but used to run my GTP a few years back on many nights. I was at the Clubgp Branson meet here a few months back and the one guy running his GXP was only running 14.2 or so and that was with DP, Magaflow Catback exhaust and the K&N intake system on a 65 or so degree day.

I dont think they track was prepped very well because I used to run right around 14 flat with the little mods my GTP had and people with much bigger mods were running slower times than that. I go out there still every so often to watch so maybe I will get to see you guys run. I would like to run mine just to get an idea of how it compares

I will be there and as for the temp rule, my car said it was 37* and people were still racing and since it is going to be the last time this year I think it would take a lot for them to canel it.
