I went to the track in my old GT; I haven't dared go in the GTP yet. :s
It is a different thing entirely. Let us know how it turns out!

Good luck with it... I'm interested in seeing what a top end swap would produce on a GT... My GTP was running 14.4's completely stock, so with the higher compression I would hope you'd pull off high 13's or super low 14's...

Anyone care to speculate on what I should run? I've got the mods in my sig. I really just want to run a 13.99, that's my goal is to hit 13's.
My tires hook pretty well, especially if it's warm outside (having 245's helps!)

Congrats on beating your estimate!
I think another thing that helps us boosted GT's is our gearing. :-p to you GTPs

Beautiful! I'm waiting till I get my tune done... (April 20th) but I will be at the track on Sunday the 22nd. I'm hoping for an awesome tune that will get me running good and putting down some good numbers!
How bad do you spin? From a stop I can't hook until almost thru 1st gear, and I bark em in second... so that's gonna be a problem for me!

In the street dont gun it for them stop give it half to get the tires moveing then hit it. The track on the other hand has alot of stick to it. So your tires will hook. YOu may spin from the being but they will hoook. You know you can just get a set of DRs and you will hook just fine.

Cant wait to see some times from both of you guys!

Soon and very soon. I'm also anxious to have my car on the dyno and see what kind of WHP I'm putting down.
