He put a turbo on one and upgraded the auto trans and it ran mid 10s. LXs run slow in the 1/4 for the most part. I've seen some fast ones but they have HUGE traction issues. There's a guy with a SRT8 300 at the track I go to. Procharged. Full boot. He fought for grip out to 800', like he was sideways when it hit 2nd at like 500'. Insane power. They just don't have the gears for short distances.

All you need to do is take away some of the fuel saving tuning and gearing and it rocks like the previous year Gt's and faster. I have put around 3k in mods and its a different car from the factory.

in '11 they got the engine right but dummied it down with a std 2.73 & 215/65's to achieve a 30mpg+ hwy rating, which turned it into a lumbering pig on the street..
better gears, lose the million pound carry-over two piece steel p.o.s. driveshaft & some low profile tires and it becomes a monster

I am running a 91 hybrid tune, Airraid CAI, one piece aluminum driveshaft, 3:73 gears, BBK ceramic headers, off road x pipe and Flowmaster axle back exhaust.

Plus my real secret weapon and biggest mod of all would be my Boss C striping. That's good for an easy extra 75 HP. Ba ha ha ha. And an antenna delete which reduces weight. Lol

The car seems to accelerate smoother and my kids and wife can always eat Mac and cheese for the next year. Lmao
