Ray,
My stock '00 Feature GT Coupe is a 5 speed car. With just 1600 miles on the odometer last year it went 14.15 @ 98.3 on the factory tires at 33psi. Traction was a significant problem in 1st with a slight spin into 2nd gear. Having drag raced quite a few different types of cars in the last 19 years, I believe my '00 GT should be good for 13.80's @ 98 on slicks.
Bullitt #12 is the one that went 13.79 @ 100 on the factory tires and 13.66 @ 100 on drag radials. I'm guessing that the traction must have been really good that day.
My GT is pretty typical from what I've heard on-line, but at my local track it's the fastest bone-stock 4.6 GT I've ever witnessed. The 99-00's that I've seen run mid 14's, but I'm thinking it's probably driving. Seattle Int'l Raceway is a relatively sticky track; it was the first track to see a top fueler run in the 4's.
The Bullitt holds a slight edge over a GT in the 1/4 mile, but is so much cooler in the process.

Thanks for the reply Five OH,
I was under the impresstion,the 275HP was rear wheel. I'm not use to seeing cars with 235 RWHP running in the 13's.
I'm new to Ford. I guess it's the double over head cam design etc.
Do you think it was a FLUKE the BULLITT ran 13.74 or is that to be expected?
