First time to the track in my GT. Pretty Impressed.

A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to get some baselines for my GT. It has Kooks LT's, catted mids, Rotofab, and Crawford tune. Also, only 245 tires. I was expecting some low 13's, and REALLY hoping for a 12.9. Well, this is what I got:

Not bad considering I only got 12.5 at 112 with my LS2 GTO, with the same mods, plus 100-150 lbs weight reduction, a 1 piece aluminum DS, ported intake, an OTRCAI, and more suspension.

Its always nice not to be surprised and thats a big diff compared to what you where expecting.
Congrats!

Wow nice. Congrats!

What's next for the mod list?

O-Fivecc 02-17-2014 01:51 PM

Not a whole lot. I would love to do a DOD delete with a mild cam, and have the heads milled. I think that would be it for me.

eric_cspan 02-17-2014 05:47 PM

That's the way to go! Too many mods and the car doesn't even sound or look like it's really supposed to. Love the wheels on the g8.

O-Fivecc 02-17-2014 11:06 PM

Yeah, that's why I want a mild cam. I don't want too much lope, I mean it is a 4 door sedan. Thanks about the wheels, it took them a while to grow on me, now I really like them.

Looks real nice. Ever think about doing the black window trim to match?

O-Fivecc 02-18-2014 06:49 PM

I'm up in the air with it. I know the windows need tinting, but I'm not 100% on whether I will do the chrome black out. I really don't like chrome, but I don't know.

eric_cspan 02-19-2014 11:45 AM

There just isn't enough chrome on the car to match. Not a huge fan either.

O-Fivecc 02-19-2014 06:55 PM

Well, the window trim rubber is in bad shape, so either way it needs to be replaced. It's just crazy it's $300+ for some trim.

eric_cspan 02-20-2014 11:18 AM

We are looking into repro'ing that trim because it's like that on everyone's car.

Make it a little more affordable.

O-Fivecc 02-21-2014 05:19 PM

Yes please do that!

eric_cspan 02-21-2014 06:09 PM

We are going to get sample prototypes made this summer.
