With street tires it's pretty tough to get a good launch. The few times I tried to race my '00 GT at Sears Point when it was stock, I would always bog or burn out off the line. This resulted in 14.2-14.4 second 1/4's at 98-99 mph. The mph indicates that it should go a few tenths quicker with a good launch.
Slicks or drag radials are the best way to get a good launch.
