i had a 96 auto that i had up to 153 till i ran outta road way back when i was young and dumb lol but it still was pulling, i heard like 160's for manual and like 160 for auto

[badass88gt]

No kidding, they will really crack 150?

my auto i had it goin 153 somewhere out in waukesha co. with the t-tops off music blaring and i would have kept going but i could see a stop sign way off in the distance. Like i said though this is back when i was 18 lol young and stupid. Damn thats like 11yrs ago :chair:
but yea they will crack 150 no prob at least mine did
its actually the one in my sig also

i went 13.39 w/ nothing more than a muffler/K&N air kit, shifter, and a AFPR. That was on a 1.94 on regular old street radials. Early 275hp 1993 car, the '96-'97 got the 10hp boost from the dual cats.

When my car only had K&N cold air intake and a 3inch catback it went 14.0 all day. Maybe if the fans would have been turning on and the car wasnt running over 200 it might have run a high 13. A M6 car will run in the 14's unless you have a good tire on the back and you can drive. Otherwise traction is going to keep you in the 14's. Ive had my car buried a few times all the way across the Hoan Bridge and it was still pulling even after it had been buried for awhile. I wish I would have had gps in there cause it should have been 160's. The only reason I let off is because the white dashes turned into lines so I figured I'd better slow down. Stock auto cars are supposed to go 155. Im sure the M6's can hit 160's :thumbsup

Thats exaclty what I had done to my 97 Convertible, minus a simple Hyptertech power program (usless), and on crap street tires with no traction still pulled a 14.2. I never had a chance to take her to the track after I got the Hooker 1 7/8 LT's, 3'' ORY, along with the 3'' flowmaster catback, and a comp mild aftermarket cam, but could have easily done mid 13's if not better with the Nitto 555R drags I had on (the reason why the car is no longer here... damn rain...:() But LT1's have potential all day when done properly!!!

Yea I had crap tires too I couldnt pull a 60ft under 2.0. With the right mods it doesnt take much for them to hit low 13's high 12's.
