Well if you're a serious racer it would make sense to put slicks on it.

I'm not saying that it doesn't make sense to put slicks on it but if someone bought a stock GT500 and went out and was saying that they can run an 11.38 stock and I said "well then lets see it" and they had to go and buy different rims and tires first, then it doesn't make much sense to call it stock?? As you won't be getting those numbers anywhere but at the track with slicks and smaller rims - everyone knows that this helps but you don't see many on the street like that.

Well if they think that they are stupid for not reading the full article. It's not like they tried to hide the fact that they used slicks.

Agreed - And the GT500 has a lot of potential with different tires. Anyone that can strap on some drag slicks to a stock car and can run those times should be excited.

Has anyone run a stock SS with slicks to see how much it helps on 1/4 times???

I'm not sure if anyone has run slicks on a stock SS yet. I know OrangeChevy has run a 11.37 on DR's and smaller rims with a cam, LT, exhaust, CAI & Tune. A stock Camaro on slicks would obviously not be able to run what the GT500 is running on slicks. I believe that I could run those times with slicks on my car.
