normally, they seem to run around 16.5 at best then slower from there. correct me if i'm wrong but this seems to be about the best i've seen on a stock motor.

Sounds about right... see the sig (below) for a stock 2.8 / T5, in good tune - that's my last run, with no mods...

Sounds right to me.

My old automatic 3.1 Camaro with 106,000 miles ran an unofficial G-Tech 1/4 mile of 16.48 at 85 mph, with slight intake work, a ghetto tuneup (plugs, wires, cap/rotor, and O2 sensor), and exhaust, on 235 width BFG Radial T/A's on some nice rough pavement.

Keep in mind though that's a G-Tech run. G-Techs have been rumored to be a little 'optimistic'. Plus it was on a rough launch surface so I hooked instantly. My G-Tech 0-60 was supposedly 8.28 secs, which I find a little hard to believe myself.

Well all that considering, the G-Tech is a pretty good measure for speed and times. Yes it is a bit optimistic so just add yourself like half a second or so and that should make it more accurate.

my 3.4 does 0-60 in 8.68 seconds. so 8.28 was off but not too far off

has anyone actually taken a g-tech to the track for a direct comparison? I'm sure this would help out lots of peeps in the conversion factor, may even make TomP take is out of the box

guys i watched a 2.8 take on a 3.1 they ran the same times almost 2.8 went a 17.49 the 3.1 went a 17.37 the 3.1 only has 140hp and like 15 more ftlbs of torque its not that much to make that big of a difference
