Default 1/4 mile time with 500whp and 6spd manual

Any one with a manual Grand Sport making about 475-500whp ever have their car to the track?

Whats a car with this whp run (assuming the weather and run was good) street tires.

According to the fast list and assuming you at least have a cam mod to get in the 475+ power range, no M6 GS is listed that ran without DR's One A6 ran 11.55 and a bolton M6 ran 11.94.
It looks like you need DR's to be quicker than 11.5.

Like Hoxxoh said, no street tire will give you traction off the line at a drag strip at that power level.

I have about 425 rwhp with a 2011 dry sup MN6 with mag ride, and when I went to Titusville FL in 90 plus degree heat with new tires, I still spun easily in 1st and 2nd. would hit around 115 mph, but times were terrible, and no 60 foot to speak of.

With those same tires, on the street I could barely get them to spin, for comparison.

11’s is still pretty good.

I had a 2007 Z making about 600whp prior to my 2012 Grand Sport. I’m basically trying to decide if I’m going to be happy keeping the car around the 475-500whp or if I should get an A&A supercharger kit.

I just want a fast, fun reliable car for the street that will run at least in the mid 11’s.

With the right tires and I don't mean street tires, your car should be able to run 10's. I do it with only 394whp.
