True LS and LT's are fast cars. But that is about it. They handle like a pig. The look like a pig and suck at trying to park. They are fast in a straight line but that is about it. I wouldnt do half the **** I do in my TII in a F Body. A TII has alot more potential than a F Body I think. Look at Pluto and Ari's cars. Running 10's. They motor is mostly the same as the TII's motor. Put on a bigger turbo, upgrade you fuel and ECU, bigger intercooler and I garuntee you will see low 13's and 12's. That is on the stock motor. Put in a ported motor and run 12's all day. All my friends have F Bodies and I have driven and ridden in them. The torque makes them feel faster than a turbo car but how much did they spend on that. My buddy with a 30,000 2000 TA managed a best of 13.1 at the track with HUGE 315 Drag Radials on the back. Granted his car is pretty close to stock as a WS6 but still for half the money your TII will rip it a new . A 15 anything time in a TII is pretty pathetic. Could be driver error or the car was hot, next time leave your car off till you want to race. Heatsoak is a bitch on these cars. When you get to the track put a bag of ice on the intercooler and let it sit for a while. Then start it about a minute before the race. Let it get to operating temps. It should get there quick because the car is already warm from the drive to the track. Dont wait for the green. Gas it on the last yellow. By the time you actually move forward it will have been green. Then say **** the synchros and go as fast as you can. This should net you a 14 second run fo sho. And kill your friend in the V6 Mustang.

what do you guys think i should be able to run in the 1/4 and how much horse power i am putting out? My estimates were over 300 horse and low 13's in the 1/4. But that is just a guesstimate i could be wrong.
With fuel upgrades, good drag tires, and temps., you should be in the 12's.
That is assuming you are running around 300 RWHP.
