all i can say is, you have to be very careful when switching to our cars, especially when you turn. it's no fun

you might be rather disappointed with numbers. My stock '03 GMC Yukon is faster than my friend's '02 GS300.

Anyways, my runs were on 20's, with K&N otherwise bone stock. I've raced a lot, but it was my first time with the GS so i wanted a baseline. 3780lbs without me and 1/2 tank of gas. BTW I raced a 95 GT stang convert 3 times and we were neck and neck until 4th when I pulled away from him.
I am going back this summer with L-Tuned stage two and will run on the L-Tuned 17's and am hoping to hit 13.9's although 14.2's are more likelyTony

Hey 14.4 @ 96mph is fine - that's the best you could hope for.
My car ran 15.1s @ 280hp. With boost up 320/330hp it ran 14.1s terminating at 98mph.
To make it go faster, get some wide wheels and road-legal slick tyres. That should shave 0.5-1s off your time.
To launch, I switch to 'L' gear, traction control OFF and press brake pedal/accelerator same time, then launch in a cloud of tyre smoke.
