It will be easier for me to post my data sheet from my 1/4 mile runs. There you can see 1/8th mile times/speeds and the resulting 1/4 mile times/speeds. The only difference between my car at the track compared to now(see sig for mods)is I was running 100% stock suspension with the OEM 18" BFGs. The September set of track #s, I took about 190 lbs out of the car and ran with the same exact mods.



Good luck and most of all have fun and practice, practice, practice!

So the only mods are UDP's and loudmouths? I would say probably right around 9 seconds, give or take a couple of tenths.

My '00 GT manual with Eibach springs and Flowmasters ran a 9.14 on stock radials. The S197s are better than that!

My 01 GT with dual cutouts ran 9.30s at best in cold weather. I have never seen a near stock S197 run anything in the 8s.

With intake, tune, cmdp's, and off-road h my 1/8 times were 8.7 - 8.9. This was with crappy 2.1 60's. I see no reason why with some practice and great launches, it couldn't be done.

i have O/R H, flows, UDPs, CAI/canned tune, stock 17" tires and ran 8.63 @83.74 with a 2.05 sixty footer. these were with lowering springs and LCA, no brackets or UCA. before the LCAs i was in the 2.12-2.20 sixty foot range and high 8s.

practice helps more than mods.

I run 8.4's and 8.5's all day with my 07 GT Automatic Coupe in the 1/8 mile. MPH is 80-82 mph, depending on weather. 1/4 mile is typically in the 13.3's and 13.4's at 101-102 mph.

Car has 4.10 gears, 4300 rpm stall converter, DiabloSport Tuner, and drag radials. That's it. 60' times on the sticky tires are in the 1.8's all day long. I've recently added a JLT CAI, but haven't been back to the track to see what improvement (if any) it offers over the stock airbox.

that's funny because my car with a C&L CAI and a tune went 8.68. That's near stock. Hell that is stock. Now with a 4.10, x-pipe (stock mufflers), and a spydershaft it ran an 8.23.

I think you will run a 9.0 if auto and 8.8 manual if you know how to shift.

Also, some things that will affect your times: track prep? DA? What tire you plan on using, etc. How are you going to prep the car? Removing the spare? 1/2 tank gas? etc.

I just raced at Irwindale last night (1/8th mile) and got a new best of 6.770 @ 100.80 with a 1.459 60'.

I was running upper 9s lower 10s at Qualcomm. The track is a parking lot, so it is not really a prepared track. New vettes were running low 9s on that track.
