How quick will stock motor get me?

[Steve]

Are you going to get the GT500 even if you don't sell you other cars?

I've decided against the GT500. I'm going with a C6 Z06. Already shopping for it.

Have you looked into the 09+ CTS-V? I think I'm about 2 or 3 arguments away from one.

So mike you are a 9 second car. Period

Yep, most stock foxes are.

I'm not done with my car, just now have the time to start getting caught up on mods.

Daily driving it for 2 years 150+ miles a day took it's toll and I got backed up on simple fixes.

Can't go wrong there.

Sometime in my life I want to own a Ford GT. That would be the bees knees.

You haven't run a six yet? Sissy.

the real funny part is i actually do feel like a sissy @ 7.1. i know it sounds like i am making excuses for the car (which i am), but if you'd have seen the data log of the tune i went 7.1 with you'd die. super rich, super lean, timing was off, car could barely idle, etc. that coupled with my suspension issues (making the car 60' horrible) didn't yield the best possible results to say the least. can't promise i'll go faster since i've added a lot of weight (a/c system + 2 additional 3.5" mufflers), but it'll be cleaner for sure!

maybe i am narrow minded, but i cant see how running a bunch of 9 second et's would be fun for very long, and pumping a bunch of extra cash into a car chasing a "best stock h/c/i et" of 12.6 that you'll never achieve doesn't sound like fun either. to each his own i guess.

[matts5.0]

but but but my could should run 8.7s... my car runs 9.2s it is very very slow there are no if ands or buts about it.. yes i have since added gears full exhaust gt40 intake etc. etc. but until i go back to the track, it has only ran a 9.2 mike.
i dont know why you continue to try and be hard headed and difficult? do you honestly believe you are smarter than everyone in here?

Yeah, they are very nice cars. My buddy Will (Junkie on the board) has one and it's a very fast car, down in the 6's already. Every bell and whistle you can imagine, but I don't need another daily driver. The Z06 will be strictly a nice, weekend hobby car for fun.

[Denny]

Ya, they're just exhaust, boost, tune and converter away from high 6's.

Ford GT's are very neat cars, but also very expensive and under performing for the money. A bolt on Z06 will out run a GT for 1/3 of the price.

I gave up chasing ET's a long time ago. After awhile it takes the fun out of the hobby because it's never enough. You reach one goal, then automatically start reaching for another. Before you know it, you're constantly banging your head against the wall and spending money to reach some magical number rather than remembering just to have fun.

He's got a big shot of dope on his too. lol.

[Denny]

So he's further into the 6's that Mike is from 8's?

Without a doubt. lol

Will is one of those people you just have to know. He doesn't know how to do anything conservatively. It's always balls out. The V is his daily driver and he had to buy that because he can't get a race for his Supra anymore. He's go the UGR Lambo guys running scared and SW wanted to buy his car. lol

[Rreemo]

Agreed.

But mr. Stock dodge r/t is a 14 second car, high 13s at best.

4,000lbs at 345hp? Lol

Where did I say it was stock ??

[Denny]

Without a doubt. lol

What does SW have right now?
