I've never dragged at a strip before, but plan to this summer. I'm sure my times will be lower than most I would imagine dragging a GT to be harder than most cars, since it makes no power down low.I would say launch harder, and make sure you are at redline ebfore shifting, prractice shifting as fast as you possibly can too. The key to dragging a GT is stay in lift, that's where your power is.
