My slow car *Video's*

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mfeldhak/...d_too_slow.mpg

That guy obviously couldn't drive his GT-S 6 speed at all. Look at my tails if you didn't notice

Granted i had another person in my car and no other passengers in the other cars.

I found a flaw... I am throwing several codes... one being the EGR hi/low system (knew about that already), closed loop control, and right o2 sensor. ANyone know if these effect performance? I would certianly hope so!

Were you breaking before the 1/4 mile was over? That would certainly hurt performance

Where did you record from? That's a nice camera position

Maybe he was running a little faster than his dial in time, and needed to slow down a bit?

How much more horsepower does this GT-S have? And how much lighter is it?

im guessing its just a really crappy driver. GT-S should have around 200hp i think? not so sure about the weight though.

The stock GT-S has:
180 hp @7,600rpm
130 ft/lbs @6,800rpm
and @2,500 lbs.

The stock SE Max has:
190 hp @5,600rpm
205 ft/lbs @4,000rpm
and @3,027 lbs.

So yea, the GT-S would win but in this case the guy did not know how to drive her.

The GT-S has 180 hp, weighing in at 2500 lbs, which SHOULD make it a pretty quick car...

It's just that terrible driving that did it in...

That could be it.
Get them checked out and get into the 14's. I will soon be breaking into those times myself.
