Guys, he cut a 2.1 60ft on 18" street tires! Its really not going to get any better then that on 18's, so you know his suspension is fine. And all this trash talking on autos is B.S. also. Yes they suck up more power then a manual, but its about 10rwhp on a 96-98GT, 13-14rwhp on a 99GT+, so thats doesn't need "a ton of mods" to make up the difference.
In fact, by judging manual 99+GT's owners 1/4's times, my brother's bone stock '99 GT auto that ran 14.2@97.5 is right there or better then half the manuals. A manual trans can't make up for an unexperienced racer.
98SteedaGT - that chip is killing you. No way should you be shifting at 6000rpm. Thats whats killing your top end. You NEED to have that chip reburnt by www.fordchip.com or www.rffperformance.com, as you should be going at least 14.5's@95. You just need to get the right combo.

Here's a slip from my Tbird which is 350-400lbs heavier, with less mods:
60ft - 2.180
330 - 6.314
1/8 - 9.633
mph - 74.38
990 - 12.403
1/4 - 14.894
mph - 93.57

Come vivist www.mtcforum.com. You may want to consider getting a dyno tune with Jerry W. or Dom o. from RFFperformance (who is in TX by the way.)
