fastest i ran was a 13.835 which i thought was surprisingly quick for a stock gs
raced a new xjr and destroyed it off the line but toward the end it was catching up very quickly.
i honestly didn't think it will break into 13's.. any other factors contributed? i donno like half tank gas, tire pressure, some weight reduction, etc..
Taking weight out of the car will decrease your ET's and doesn't cost anything. Although, it's up to you how important it is to drop just a few tenth's of a second off your time. Personally, I wouldn't go through the trouble. The GS isn't a race car. I'd just be happy with the times you're pulling now, as is. Pretty impressive IMO, considering it's rated at low 14's. So anything quicker than what it's rated at is good.
yeah, i brought it there for ****s and giggles im not about to spend like 15 hours trying to figure out how to unbolt and disconnect the seats to see a millisecond improvement.

Yeah this isnt a drag car by any means im not about to gut out my daily driver that i bought mainly for luxury.

me either they told me after my 13.8 run that i couldnt run it anymore because according to their rules, anyone running 13.999 or quicker has to have a helmet. i have tourmalines on my gs with pretty sticky yokohama advans so i never slipped off the line with about 60% throttle so my launches were all pretty decent. other than that i cant really think of anything.
