Before I go to the track for the first time does anyone have any idea what time I should get in the 1/4 mi. with a stock GLE 2k2 (3.5) and auto tranny.

If elevation isn't a factor, and your car is running good, with decent weather 50'ish degrees 30-40% humidity, and on a good launch, you could get a 14.7 94 mph. Bone stock AT Maxima's are nothing to sneeze at, they are quick.
Any other factors such as poor launches, warmer weather, etc., shave 3/10ths and subtrack 2mph.
Good luck. Launch at 1500 rpm's, ease into throttle, otherwise you will spin four car lengths out, just as I did yesterday.

You'll be somewhere in the 14's with a good launch. Even a decent launch should get you there. Do a few weight reductions and that'll help ya out too
