FYI I just got a chance to run a 05 gt 5spd with exhuast and tune today. We both had passengers. I got him the 1st time becuase he was so freaked out by the fact that I pulled on him he missed 2nd. The next two times (one of which was from a dig) he consistantly pulled 2 cars by 90. We stopped and talked, which is when I found out that he had a tune.
