Yeah you might have seen my car there,
thanks for the offer but I'm not to keen on the gt lights, I want some LX lights.

Ohh and the uphill burn out box was weird, I didn't expect to turn into the lane and see an uphill.

Yeah it seems only people on ebay want GT tails and they pay like $200 for them, maybe i'll put them up there for sale .

Hmp has become really ghetto over the last few months and then they decided to lenghten the stopping distance of the track and thats where the uphill burnout box came from.

Take it to HRP and see what it does in the 1/4, I like hmp for watching and I like HRP for racing.

Ive been 8.4 @ 85 with E7s, stock cam, and a stock bottem end on 245/45/17s. Im sure you get that thing running right, bottem 8s on the radials, high 7s on a tire.

Also the GT grill is different than the V6 one. Unless they made a V6 shaped one with fog lights, it wont work. My brother tried putting a V6 grill on his GT, and it doesnt bolt in!

No, 260-270 rwhp, 280-290 rwtq stock...

Low 14s sounds like an average driver, but a good driver will get one well into the 13s. We might get track times from ours this weekend, but the rain might stop that.

I ran the 8.4 with a 2.0 60' and 85.8 mph trap. Your 306 could easily run that if not some faster. Like said before, just spend some time tuning and learning the car and it will come!
