did you use a g-tech to get that 6.7 because that seems kind of fast for just stock. I have short ram in mine and although i havent had it timed, i know its probably just 6.9-7.1. My bros camaro is in the high 6s and i couldnt beat him. I dont know, just a thought.

From what i have read on this site, where you place the g-tech is a factor in determining your 0-60 times. I think that if its slanted or something than your times vary. I would actually take the car to the track to get more accurate times.

A couple of tenths can be a couple of car lengths depending on the length of your run.

I've always found that my GTECH Pro was always about .3 tenths quicker than real but about 1 to 3 mph slower than real in the 1/4 mile.... I will have to try my TL when the weather is better.... A 99 TL should do about high 15's to low 16's at about 88 Mph or so???

JKC2121:

I don't know about you guys, but going 155 on the TL? what? I'm sacred as hell to even go to 120 on the damn thing. It sucks on turns at high speeds. REALLY sucks. What kinds mods do you have Jkc2121? You're damn right about the breaks. Maybe it's just you shaking from the excitment, hehe.
