one of my buddies has a bad-ass looking black 01 GT. all he has is CAI and exhaust. which is all i have in my TA. i have a4 and run consistantly in the mid to low 14's. hes gotta 5 speed and i dont know what he runs.. he hasnt been to the track. i took him for a ride in it awhile ago and he thinks the TA feels alittle faster. but i know that really doesnt mean anything. what do you guys think.. drivers race? depend on the launch? lemme know.

If your running low-mid 14's.... Should be a drivers race all the way... he may have a slight edge if hes a good driver.

If you get him off the line, you'll win. If he gets you, you'll have your hands full.

you should pull out on the top end.. your still running 14's even with the mods you have? YOu should be ready to crack 13's by now. you sure that the car is running correctly?

well i ran it on a hot night with bald wheels so my tires wouldnt hook with out me really babying it. plus i had to stop running her because she was redlining in the temperature department.. haha not good. so i just sat out the rest of the night.[>:]

ahh. ok, then fix your problems and you will beat him unless he gets you ou of the hole. Stock I never had problems with any GT's even tho I do have 10 more HP then you from the factory..

yeah the whole dual cat converter thing. well im not even sure where to start to fix these problems considering im in college and completely broke. the cars in the shop till tomorrow bc one of my friends backed into it and ripped a hole in the door. so its getting painted black, and theyre gonna change the tranny fluid and oil and everything for me. are there any cheap things you could think of that i could to to keep her running better and longer? thanks for the responses by the way!

i almost forgot... i have NO throttle response whatsoever. i remember back when the rear tires had traction. i couldnt even break them loose because it was so sluggish down low. [&:]

if its hot where you live get a 160 thermo and a manual fan switch... that will help tons. But you have a problem already. Thermo, water pump and fan problems are common for the LT1's. Get that finxed and control your heat and you should see real close to 13's.

EDIT: dood you got problems. you need to have the car checked out. you need a tune up, a new fuel filter and to have teh converter checked to see if it's cloged.
