I do not think a 1.99 60' is possible with a stock NA, even on a perfect launch. I could be proven wrong with a timeslip, but until then I'm going to say no. The car doesn't have the right gearing or torque for it.
Not trying to sound like Superman here, just trying to be helpfull. IF zeroto60times.com has a 2004 manual at 14.5 stock, seems to be plausible, right? Base is a little lighter than limited. Higher flow exhaust and rear cat delete= less low end power to help with launch, considerably more mid and top end power, less weight, close to 70 lbs lighter than stock. Better breathing through k&ns and intake mods. Not sure if it helps or not, but taller than stock tires with a 245/45/18 in front and let pressure down to 25lbs at track in rear. It seems feasible to me to run that. I was actually expecting better times, but you guys have made me feel a bit better about what I ran. I love running "questionable" times. That means that I am doing better than a time that no one disputes
Again, I am just trying to help and offer input. I just moved for the second time in two weeks (long story), but if I find some time slips, I will post one up. Good luck in your go fast efforts guys and be safe.
