yeah, its hard to get a good time in southern california. you hear about GSR's in other parts of the country running low 15s and what not, but out here, with the lack of good tracks, its hard to stab a good time.

You're asking for GSR times, so i dont think i'm much help to u...but i'll try anyway. My first try out in fontana almost 2 years ago, i got 4 runs 16.87, 16.83, 16.44, and 16.72. Bone stock pretty much, ghetto intake, crappy exhaust, crappy tires, crappy suspension, full interior. the 16.44 and the 16.72 i ran against another coupe LS, and beat him both times.

Zoom ahead to December of 2002, and my suspension setup is much better, still crappy tires though, empty interior, better intake/exhaust, but still pretty much stock....i only got 3 runs, i blew the first run spinning off the line, but the second and third runs i got a 16.33 @ 85 and then a 16.17 @ 87, with R/T's in the lower half of .500 seconds (woohoo!). The 16.33 the dude next to me snapped his axle, and the 16.17 was against another LS coupe that ran a 16. 4 something. i kno i kno, 85 and 87 trap speeds equate to high 15's, but with 2.5 60 foots, i wont be hitting a 15 any time soon. nonetheless, for an otherwise stock 4 door LS, low 16s are still impressive to SOME people...

Overall, coupe versus sedan, its a pretty small difference, yeah, its .1 or .2 seconds, but that .1 or .2 seconds can be made up by experience or track conditions.
