I finally got to the track to run the car.
I babied it off the line(i got the 5s tranny) and i am only running 13 psi with 18" tires but overall i had good times. 1/4 mile times were at 14.4 and 14.5 the whole time top speeds were 97 and 98 mph i think if i run it again i am gonna put the stock 15" rims on and turn the boost to about 16-17 and see what happens! I think 13's are easily within reach! DG -------------------- |

Your comparing a stock 135hp GT to a ST185 or ST205 and you think the GT has any chance to compete, at all?
I havent come across any turns I couldnt take, however I had to slow down considerably to take them, IMO the GT has a very crappy suspension. Now I havent driven an ST185 and def. not an ST205 but I haven driven AWD cars before and the fact that they are AWD makes a gigantic difference. You took a banked turn at 133mph by ur house? Now I dont wanna get into the stupidity of this move on local roads but hell thats one weak ass turn, take a pic of it I'd like to see. The ST185/ST205 will do nothing less than own a GT on every aspect of driving, no matter if its a crappy driver or not. Stock suspension has poor body roll IMO and I'm actually looking to stiffen it up considerably because I'm so unhappy with it. Also, I maybe jaded by the 350z suspension and my friends 2.5RS suspension (real suspensions) but my GTs (1.75''drop/215mm tires) is mediocre. I'm confused when you say that the GT-Four/Alltrac has too much lag due to power loss of the AWD setup. Is this turbo lag or what, its vague. I'd like to see the vid of a GT(2) outlaunching an ST185. -------------------- |
