Yeah, you should be able to pull at least 15.2 sec with a stock 5spd 4th gen.

yeah, your gtech is off somewhere. it is very unlikely you are running a 15.5 @ 95mph. at a 15.5 sec run, you should have a 90-91mph trap speed at best. i've run 15.1's @ 89mph, so your trap could be even lower with that time. just head to a track.

GTech's trap about 5% high...

Anyhow don't trust GTech times. I've never gotten better than like 14.9 on a Gtech... and obviously I've run faster than that.

i have no idea

but wouldnt you be in the 14.6 - 14.7 range with that MPH ? I have no clue really. i want to find out how to get into going to the track. here something to laugh at ..last week i went out on the interstate, and pulled over on the side of the road ..i just had to test the car ...i reset the little counter ....and i waited and when i saw absolutely nothing ..which doesnt take to long i live in mississippi i just laid down into her. i have a 97 SE 5 speed ... when the counter reached 2.5 of a mile im looking back and forth trying to see,a nd saying to hell with highway patrol i was right at 94 mph ... not acurate i know but fun ... for all i know i was going uphill ...and against the wind ..i was certain she would do better, but thats the reason why i would like to find a track ...that kinda stuff just doesnt tell me what i would like ... anyways my ypipe, bpipe and muffler should be here today .. i should get a bit more boost !!! havin fun
