doing it up right!! keep that time coming down!

turn on that 6th cylinder, you'll run much faster

[kwhauck]

wow, i should have stuck around longer, that's good you made it all the way to the semi finals!!!

If the stock Grand-am GT was doing mid 17, and it is suppose to run around 15.9; 16.0. well those are really nice times dude. What is the elevation at this track?

[YALEROYNOT]

I would say some where around 5860 ft but thats just a guess

[Vinalero]

wooopss

and DAMN

That means this build would run close to high 12 on low elevation?

don't forget that on altitude correction boosted cars are only a half factor so you won't see a full second or more time difference on boosted cars like you would on NA cars

I'm not sure what was up with that Grandam, my '03 Alero ran around 17.0-17.3 up here last year......

Didn't your original '99 Alero run a 16.7 with only an aftermarket muffler and CAI?

[Oldsnut]

Yea Baby!!

Not a fan of the hood scoop, but going those speeds I wouldn't see it. haha.
