Exclamation Top 20 1/4 mile times for GS 300/400/430's???

I have looked and looked but have not found anything that answers this question on CL. I saw that several other models have this, so I guess I'm going to ask. I know Dave compiled a list a while back of all the FI cars around and some disclosed their best E.T.'s up until that time, so that may be able to help answer this question too.

Anyway, what are the quickest 1/4 E.T's for GS4's? Somebody start the list please. If they would list a quick summary of their performance goods too that would be kinda cool to see as well. Anyway, CL OG's let me know what's out there in the shape of quick GS4's.

*edit*

List so far:

GS4:

Me- 12.6 @ 112 mph
KlynchGS4- 13.2 @ 104 mph
blaise- 14.7@ ????
OKC-GS400-15.2 @ ????
UZ214- 14.5 @ ????

GS3:

Bluelex- 13.6 @ 104 mph

hey jamie,

best i ever did with my rmm s/c was 13.2 @ 104

i'm still a couple months away from my single turbo (gt42r) set up...hoping to get into the mid to low 12's (tuner says if we don't get into the low 12's he's going to set the car on fire and give me all my $'s back that i've spent)

That's actually very close to what I had when I was S/C'd. I hit 13.0 as my best and was in the low 13's like a gazillion times. Never got into the 12's with the S/C.

My best now has been 12.6 @ 112. Slightly better.......but still very inconsistent about it. The tranny shifting is what is keeping me from being at that number or better. On the 12.6 run, the tranny shifted just about dead-on perfect and I had good traction off the line.

I'm going to try and better that this year by doing some tweaking. We'll see. I really just wish that the tranny shifting issue could be resolved and then I know I could be consistent. It's amazing just how much a little hiccup can affect the times.

What do you have?

*edit* First post is edited to make a list. I won't label numerical order, for I'm sure it will get shuffled around and around for a bit. Keep them coming and I'll update the first post as people post.
