Curious what you guys think a 2011 GT500 with the following mods is capable of running in the 1/4 mile?

Pulley/Tune
4.10's
Air Raid Filter with SVT resonator delete tube.
L&M 66mm Throttle Body
MGW shifter
Nitto 305/40/18's on 2010 GT500 18inch wheels painted to match the 2011s (pretty close anyway)

Am I crazy to think this car is capable of a low 11 in good weather? Stock, the car ran a 12.3 at 117 in 91 degree heat on an unprepped track. :burnout:

Thanks,

200 pounds is quite a lot - I wasn't previously aware of that much weight savings. I know 90 to 100 pounds for the Aluminum Block, but cutting out an additional 100 is an excellent direction to take when it comes to our cars.

I would say mid 11's are possible but it depends on traction, it it goes 1.7-1.8 60ft range it will go 11.5 for sure.

Here's a race I had against a dealer prepped 2011,they say the car only had a 93 tune. The driver does not own the car and is launching and powershifting hard. I managed to get him by a tenth. My car has 2.65 pulley, J.L.T. and 93 tune.

Great race. Looked like he had you at the 330', but your top end showed and you spanked him. Nice mph compared to his.

Here's a video of me running 11.74 @ 124 on 20" Razor rims. My setup at the time was similiar - 2.6 upper only, JLT CAI, LCA and Cat back Magna Flow (Stock 3.31 gears) and really good air...

I ran the best of 11.3 on DR's with the addition of 3.73 gears. So, I'm pretty sure you'll be in the low 11's....Good Luck....:rockon:
