Sharky talked about one that ran a magnificent 12.1. Most will run mid 12"s with the right launch.

 

crazy, I retract my offer

 

But you would probably still win the donut contest

 

<---- hasn't done a donut in the goat yet


Need to go out and practice

 

My car ran 11.86 @ 120mph at Raceway Park 2 years ago. I've not drag raced since. That was on a 200 lbs lighter car with the stock transmission.

When I had the car brand new, I tested it at Englishtown after the break-in, it ran a 12.3 @113mph and 12.2 @ 115mph. Stock weight: 3133 lbs at the e-town scales.

 

Do you have timeslip? we need evidence for the haterS!!!!!!!!!
I can't tell you how many kids with EVO's amd M3's think the GT3 is not very fast because of the information available to magazine racers.
Granted we all know the GT3 was never ment to be a stoplight drag racer, but for the sake of e-battles, I wish we had some proof.
That time is amazing.

 

Of course I have the time slips. I will scan them for fun.

The 12.2 was on a totally bone stock car. I ran it to get a baseline. My 60' times were horrible (2.1 secs). The car is capable of 1.8 secs 60' times in the right hands. I've been told that a better launch will produce a higher trap speed and lower E.T. The car had a little over 1,000 miles on the odometer.

The 11.86 was just 0.3 secs faster, compared to the stock car, the impressive number was the trap speed being 5 mph higher. This run was done at the same place, weighed 2940 lbs, LWFW, properly broken-in engine with close to 10,000 miles.

These days, the car is even lighter, it has a stonger Cup LSD, short Ring and Pinion gear, 1" wider rear wheels and much wider tires. It should be faster.

My car requires 3 upshift on the 1/4 mile, that hurts E.T and trap speed.

On one recent test against a V10 M5 from 50mph-125mph, pulling from third at 4,000rpm (my short R&P), the M5 was losing ground to my car below the magical 6,800rpm, once I got into the sweet GT3 powerband, the M5 was left so far away that it was not even a contest.

By the way, a well driven 996TT X50 is capable of high 11s.

 

I will rep you if you scan the timeslips!!! lol
I know the turbos can be fast, I am talking GT3!

 

This is a time slip with the car being three weeks old. Bone Stock GT3 with 3133 lbs, running MPS2.

I could not find my time slip from November 2004 at the same track (last time I ever drag raced), but I have the complete data on a spreadsheet. 2938 lbs, LWFW, 245/285 Dunlop Super Sport Race.

These days the car is running at 2890 lbs, still with the stock exhaust, with a stronger LSD and a GT3Cup 4.00:1 final gear. I'm curious to test it again.

60' 1.78 secs
330ft 5.05 secs
1/8 mi 7.70 @93.51
1000 ft 9.95 secs
1/4 mi 11.82 @ 120.33 mph

 

Nice, repped

 

What did you do for the weight loss? Great time and trap speed!

 

Not much,

- GT3 Recaro Seats
- Removed side and passenger airbags.
- Removed Glovebox
- 11 lbs Braille Battery
- No trunk carpets
- No floor mats
- Empty windshield wiper reservoir
- Lighter 18" wheels
- Lighter Tires
- PCCB
- Lighter Springs
- RS Flywheel
- FabSpeed Cat bypass pipes
- No toolbox

That's pretty much it. A lighter exhaust should bring it to 2860 lbs. Once in a while I remove the passenger seat, interior rear carpets and rear side panels, for an extra 65 lbs reduction and a pretty loud race car sound.

 

Nice work. What springs, wheels and tires did you go with? What does it look like with the glove box removed? How do you like the catbypasses? Any CEL's? Thanks,
Luis

 

lol, this thread has turned from donuts to drag...everything the GT3 was not designed for...you guys rock

on the other hand drifting...we'll produce some better pics next month during the daytime, right luis

 

I fall into the....
