stock auto maximas like mine tend to run in the 14.7-14.8 range with a couple people able to squeeze a 14.5-14.6 out of them i would be more than happy with a 14.7

And it depends on what year these cars are as to how close the race will be. In 2003 they upped the horsepower by 11 and 28 for the V6 and V8 respectively. Car and Driver ran a 2003 V8 to a 15.1.

Although slow from the factory.. The V8 LS can be made fairly quick with few modifications. I know I had one... But in stock form the GXP would run with it and the Sexima would have it but half a car if not more.
And grimm they are a fat car over weight. Keep in mind they were not built to go fast the were built solely for comfort.

Gross weight and Curb weight are two different beasts

SO the sticker inside the door is correct.

you didn't know that lol
here they are
Curb Weight is the actual weight of the truck without any passengers or cargo in it. It’* the base weight that is used in subtraction to calculate the total weight of the vehicle with passengers and cargo.
Gross Vehicle Weight is the total weight of the loaded vehicle. This includes the vehicle itself and the cargo that is loaded within that vehicle.
Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings are the ratings that are calculated by the manufacturers as to be the amount of weight that the vehicle will be when the vehicle itself is weighed filled with gasoline and loaded according to manufacturer’* specifications.
