I'm guessing though you had some mods? The ones on your signature? I was full stock but with Continental Extreme contact DW's

Gt500s are notorious for spinning. I was spinning all the way through 3rd gear. First time at the track I did a 13.9. Four visits later was down to a 12.4. with just the drag radials. I also got better with launching, but I doubt I would have ever gotten into the 12s with stock tires. With this cooler weather I may hit 11s stock with DRs.

With a 426 hp Camaro, no. With a 550+ horsepower rwd car with crap stock tires, yes. Some people managed an 11.1 quarter mile on a stock 11-12 GT500 with just DRs, nearly a 1.5 second improvement over magazine times.

I watched an episode of pass time where a guy had a 2013 or 14 gt 500 with stock tires. The host ask him how many time he had the car down the track....he said " I've spun my way down it a few times" once he launched that thing acted like it was on ice....you could hear the tires spinning way past half track. It was pretty funny to see that car dance all over.

I don't race magazines. I race cars. Quit being silly. You said "YOU" cut 1.5 seconds off "YOUR" time. Not someone else's magazine time!I don't base how fast my car is on what Motor Trend says. I base it on what my time slip says. 3-4 10ths are about as good as it gets for an improvement in sixty foot times with just drag radials on a street car. That does not translate to 1.5 second worth of ET. A guy that's getting 11.1s on drag radials is getting 11.7s on street tires! Just say you practiced and got better at driving the car. The tires didn't cut 1.5 seconds off your ET all by themselves. Using your own words. Any Badly driven car (GT500) will instantly go from a 12.5 to an 11.0 with a simple change to sticky tires???

Please go over post #18, where I stated I went from a 13.9 to a 12.4 on just DRs, and launching the car on stock tires vs DRs can not be done the same way. I launched at 3,000 rpm with DRs, something that would land me in the guard rail with stock tires. You dont own a GT500, however I did own your car for some time. Huge difference. I shared with the OP my experience with my car, not his or yours. Quit being goofy.

IDk why they added 112 hp to the 2013 and kept the same 285 tires as the 10'-12' GT500. Almost as terrible as the Hellcat having 275s. DRs will make an auto Hellcat run 10s all day.

I don't need to own a GT500 to understand your pushing a ridiculous point. I personally own right now today. A low 9 second 95 GT drag car. So I'm Not real sure why your trying to make a low 12 second on average GT500 out to be some uncontrollable monster. It's silly. But I'll leave you to your nonsense. Your just embarrassing yourself by sticking to the original statement. If you said. I'm not a very good driver and couldn't get the car to hook on street tires. (Which is exactly what happened judging by a 13.9 second pass) I doubt anyone would look down on you. I'm pretty much done here. Op sticky tires are great for drag racing but don't expect a 1.5'second improvement with them. You'll be very disapointed .

I don't argue on forums. My post was to the OP in regards to my experience with my car, if you don't agree with my statement then so be it. I don't care if you don not agree with my statement, nor anyone else. Maybe you should take the DRs off your drag car and put the crap Goodyear they put on the GT500s, and see how many 9s you run.

Highest trap is 116, and this being in 2400-2600 d/a air, far from optimal.

With a better clutch (as in newer) and good track prep, I have no doubt that I could a netted a 1.9-1.8 60ft on the Pirelli's.

A 1.9 sixty can be had easily with a little practice on street tires.
