How do you consider yourself stock? I consider a car "stock" when it hasn't been touched. Custom exhaust? Performance mod, not stock. K & N filter? Performance mod, not stock. Upgraded suspension or tires? Performance mod, not stock. Etc.

Opps I should have been more specific, those times were done before I did any of the mods that are in my sig. Sorry for any confusion.

Heres something weird, most sites clock the 88 GTA 350 at 15.9, and the 87 GTA 350 at 15.5. Whats with the .4 sec slower for the next year. I'm guessing its the gears, but i could be wrong, what do u guys think.

there is no way an 88 GTA 350 ran a 15.9. it must have been a 305 TPI car. all camaros and firebirds with 350 TPI's were good for at least high 14's stock.....

what site did you get that info from??
