Whats the best time you have heard a stock Trans Am run? Newer, 2001 and up. Tryin' to get an idea of how fast they are, seein' if I wanna step up or not. I'm thinkin mid 13's-low 14's in the quarter. Oh, and its not a WS6. If its in that range, it should be a really good race.

 

depends on the weather, gearing, transmission, and driver.

in my experience, any combination of those can get you anywhere from 13 flat to mid 14.

 

There have been stock Ls1 cars go into the high 12's. My stock 98 WS-6 went an 8.51 1/8.

Your average LS1 would probably be on the lower end of mid 13's..

 

96 Trans Am, M6, bone stock, 13.6 @ 104mph.

 

when i ran my 99 non WS6 the first time i got was like 14.1, later that day my best time was like 13.5. with my bolt ons im running low 13s and im sure on a cold day with drag radials i can break into the 12s

 

6 speed 01-up LS1 with a good driver and a decent tire (ie nittos, no et streets or anything) should be able to coax at least a 12.9 out of it. they have the mph most of the time.

 

my stock 2000 t/a with the automatic went 13.13@106.66 stock.. hehe.. now she's fun

 

I didn't think they were quite that quick. My friend JJ's trans am was only putting 2 lengths on me and not pulling before I had the juice. I was hoping that I would pull a half length or two on one. Hell, I might be able too, I should be in the mid to high 13's with it, according to mach performance.

 

Apparently they arent that fast which in our case was a very good thing!
