I could never get 13.teens at MIR when stock (ran 13.30's) for some reason, probably b/c it was hot and humid when I took it down there. I ran 13.teens at Cecil, Capitol, 13.20's usually at M-D.

I got tired of that though and started modding and got dome drag radials to make it easier. Its tough to get a 60 time in these cars. And anyone who knows much about running a good 1/4 mi time knows the first 60 feet make or break a good run.

The 04 GTO A4's that I have seen do struggle to get better than mid-13's that I have seen thanks to the stock TC and TQ Mgmt in the stock tune.

 

I have been a casual observer and reading this thread. Just clicked on the thread to see what kind of times people were getting- don't really care- just bored. I think what 2.73 Vette is saying is right on. When I bought my car( Dodge for those that don't know what an IROC R/T is) everyone was claiming high 13's or even 13.7's but in reality it was a mid 14 second car stock. I too was dissapointed and after owning the car for a while I found out mid 14's were one would expect to be stock. I see this same scenario repeated on almost every forum for every make and model. At my two local tracks with a density altitude around 2,200' on an average summer day GTO's are a low 14 second car- seen one run a 13.9 but that was the only one. Not sure of the years or if they had any mods-I am sure some did. Don't know what years they were but I go to the strip every other weekend and have seen a few dozen of them run. A few more observations on stock times- SRT-4's mid 14's, 05 mustangs low 14's, STI's low 14's, EVO's high 13's. Don't see too many completely stock cars- almost all have a cold air induction, aftermarket exhaust and a chip or reflash so some of these stock appearing cars are not even stock. No two way's about it the GTO is a quick car... high 12's I think not.... low 13's? no not from what I have seen..........mid 13's very possible under the right conditions........low 14's yes- this is what I would expect if I bought a stock GTO and went to the strip.
Don't mean to ruffle no feathers with this post but I have learned that these forums are the same as the guy's sitting at the local parts stores saying how quick their car runs- the BS factor. I have met so many people on line that claim to run such and such a time but come to find out they never even been to a dragstrip. Oh well- I am off to to another forum to see what other neat stuff I can find- hopefully I find my way back here some day.

 

Not that anybody here has to prove anything to you, but here's proof anyway to educate the ignorant:

Another ignorant hater who saw a GTO at a track one day with a shitty driver and now knows it all - it is a 14 sec car b/c he knows.

Stay a casual observer if all you have to add is a bunch of crap.

 

why fight it guys,,everyone is telling our cars are slow so they must be slow.
It sucks but we know its the truth,theys are really slow, we cant beat anybody.
Hell I cant even get into the 11s..
Lt1 Camarobirds and 2.73 Vettes rule yall..
Peace..

 

Yeah, it sucks to be the whipping boy...but I'm learning to live with it.

 

I have never seen a stock R/T in the 13's...never. Back when my 92 Spirit R/T was new, well 1993, I clicked off a 14.4@99 the only time it ever was at the track. That was completely stock right down to the paper filter. Daytona's were supposed to be a tenth faster. But nobody claimed to have run a 13.

Reality, low 13 second STOCK GTO's are there.

 

get on any turbo dodge forum and you will get many that claim to get 13's stock. Go to any SRT sight and you will get many claiming to get low 13's stock, go to EVO forums and you will get many claiming 12's stock..... and so on for every make and model. Just the way it is- many feel extremely loyal to their brands and will quote the best numbers they have heard someone run stock without ever actually seeing it first hand. All I know for sure is what I have seen at the strip- everything else I read on the web is hearsay as far as I am concerned- and that's the way you should take my post as well- go spend a summer at the track and talk to the guy's running these cars and ask what mods they have done and how often they run it.

As for the guy that had to use the bad language- remember that kids read these forums too............... I think I hear the bell ringing- time for you to get back to class before you get detention .

 

It was never an issue on the turbodoge or shelby websites as they never ran that fast. Even before the turbo dodge websites really took off, not even Dodge claimed that.

Haven't been a frequent visitor to mini mopar sites in the last few years so I can't really say what's going on now. But the fact remains, no 2.2 turbo I,II,III, or IV ever ran in the 13's stock. Very easy to get there with a couple of mods, but still none ran that stock.

 

I'm another slow 04 GTO that's just checking in.

 

Done.
