I don't doubt the times of the original thread here. Remember he said 80 degress with 100% Humidity. Some people may not realize it, but that temperature, particularly with that humidity have a huge impact on the performance of BOTH of those cars. My car, feels like a dog when its hot out with high humidity. These engines or any engine for that matter, do not like hot humid weather. I'd say run at the track again on a much cooler night, especially with the humidity alot lower, and you will see a huge improvment in those times.
If you ran a 14.4 in those conditions, I would guess that with low humidity, we're talking 40-50% and temps in the upper 60s to lower 70s, you can easily run a 14 flat at worst. I saw a completely stock '01 GT run a 13.8 last week on street tires. Temperature was 67 degrees with 45% humidity, track elevation is like 0. The guy was a pretty damn good driver but the point is, his car was stock on a very nice and cool evening.
I have yet to run my car, but tomorrow night I'm heading to the track because the temps are supposed to drop into the 60's again with low humidity.
