Stock 1/4 Mile Time?

  • Sponsors (?)


I've heard everything from 14.7s to 13.90s. It seems some people have better luck than others. Some guys are running 12s on stock E7 heads while others can't get out of the 13s with a full H/C/I.

According to this site http://www.flemworld.com/85/info.html The '85 GT ran anywhere from 14.9 to 15.9 depending on the magazine who tested it. They '87+ cars were only 10hp over those so i would expect mid 14s for most cars, maybe low 14s for an experienced driver with good traction.

I would LOVE to see a stock one on stock tires turn a 13.8

From my experiences, on a semi crappy track (which I guess is what most will see), its like 14.7-15.4 on average.

No timing bumps, no tricks, stock.

Yeah, when i got my coupe, it had a C4 in it and Flowmasters on an otherwise 100% stock car and my first trip to the track was a 14.7 on street tires. Anything more than that is just good driving/good traction/good weather/luck.
 
Those are good times above! Lapeer would never allow those type of times with a stock-like/light modded car. Milan might, but I heard Milan sucked last summer too. I haven't been to either place since 2004.
 
cleanlx put his no option coupe in the high 12's.... only mods were timing bump,bigger maf,255pump,exhaust,slicks.4.10 gears
 
wasn't exactly STOCK but only mods were full exhaust and bumped timing (3.31 gears) 13.81@99 w/ 2.167 60' still full weight and everything worked for what it's worth. Odd my 95 that weights more with less done to it went quicker though? :shrugs:
 
I hope none of these 'stock' cars have had the timing bumped and are on anything other than a street tire (non drag radial)

I know what my brothers did with like 2 things and a timing advance at a crap track.......but thats NOT stock. (14.2 @ 97.xx with him driving like a tard)

My sn95 I had to bump the timing and drive the funk out of it to get a 14.9 at 89 and some change.

15.4ish stock.
