Reaction times with new GT automatic?

What reaction times are you guys getting with a stock 2000/2001 GT automatic? I've been trying everything!

well I have a 97 GT but I think I can help. The key to getting a nice reaction time is to wait for the third amber to light (Sportsman Tree). this may seem like it will cause you to red light but it won't. Also, be sure to do a burnout to help your tires hook up and on the start brake torque it carefully and launch at about 1400 RPM. It also helps your R/Ts and 60ft times if you deflate your rear tires a bit. doing these things, many times I cut near perfect lights with my best R/T being .503 (.500 is a perfect light).
