Your average stock M6 f-body will run 13.3-13.5 and trap 107-108 for comparison sake.

Get to the track Monte and get some seat time in. Ive never taken a GTO down the strip, but from what people tell me its a tricky car to launch. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Nope, that'd be me.

stock i got as low as 13.3 @ 105 . i could run 13.4-13.5 all day. it's in the launch. in that form i ran a couple of Fbods and beat them. lost to a couple too. they all had intakes and predator-type tunes tho. it was mainly a driver's race

I think after all the reading, is it's ALL in the launch on these cars. What is the secret?

Terminators are mid to high 12s. Crappy driver's are low 13s. I have heard of some being mid 13s with first time track visits and high altitude.


13.1 in an '04 GTO...thanks Dang good...congrats.
