Check out my sig and time....
Many of us have been on this quest to get a full weight, mostly stock 94-95 GT into the 12's. I think it is a lot easier w/4.10's than 3.73's. I went 3.55's because I'm just crazy. If I'd had 3.73's, I'd have my 12.xx the way I sit right now. I think the lowering springs and the heavy 18" front rims are now my newest enemies. (But the rims look sooooooo good
) BTW, that time was posted at Maryland International Raceway, which I think is the track that 5ohhh was talking about.....

Just as was said, it doesn't take a whole lot of HP in a typical weight car to do it with practice (as Willy said), the right gearing, supsension, and tires.
My very good friend Mike took this approach and here's his results:
He also had centerline telstar skinnies up front and telstar rear wheels with ET streets, and he had eibach drag springs for suspension. The car had very little parts, but they were the right parts for the job of getting down the track quickly.
Let us know how you do!

Also something you might wanna look into is the A9L swap as our cars are not very cam friendly. I Have a buddy who just dropped a E Cam and GT40 Heads on his 95 Vert and only gained a tenth because the car runs horrible with the cam. Just a thought.
