    That's a newer GM thing...97-03 cars will only shift out of 1st...every other gear you can hold.

    As for shifting to 4th at the traps...something is up...because 93mph on the stock 2.93's is still in 2nd or barely in 3rd. Something is up transmission wise there...try leaving it in 2nd...and then put it in 3 when it gets close to redline.

    I am willing to bet he just mixed up 3rd and 4th... There is really no way to get into 4th at the track with stock horsepower, unless you pedal it hard.

    Trap speed seems really low, as I think I could trap about 98 stock.

    I ran a best of 15.2 last summer, weather wasnt right for it and everyone seemed to be running .2-.3 slower than avg so i figure a 15 flat or sub on a perfect day, but thats completely stock 99 gtp with all my crap like I normally drive it and reg street tires, think I had a 2.2 60' and around a .500 reaction time... have the slip at home, at work right now

    good run tho, need to get into 2nd and shift to 3rd or leave in 3rd and get some stickier tires and you'd pull lower im sure
