GTO vs F-Body will the new GTO beat an LS-1 f-body in race? does it just come down to driver and mods or are the new GTOs pretty much just faster?

Judging by the numbers I've seen on paper a GTO will not beat an LS1 f-bod in the 1/4. However there is a vid on this sight of a new GTO with a 100 shot running a high 11.

compared to an f-body driving-vise GTO is an extra 3-400lb with IRS and basically the same engine. The rest you can figure for yourself.
My guess the only way GTO may keep up stock-for-stock is an M6 GTO vs. A4 F-body from a roll.

I would love to race one to prove it though.

The Goat`s are PIGS (M6/A4) not even a race IMO,I recall a few good GT drivers putting up a better fight.
POS IMO,maybe they`ll do a buy back for the over rated horsepower like Mazda did with the RX-8 LMMFAO !! yup yet another 04 POS offered to the public consumer.

As Far as I'm concerned the GTO as a replacement for the Trans Am is a pathetic joke. Pontiac doesn't have a glue. I don't like the new GTO and it's my opinion of course and it doesn' even look like a muscle car. Then there are some who will say well it could be a sleeper. I can't imagine anyone wanting a sleeper. Heck when I'm driving down the road I want other cars to say oh Sh--t here comes the beast.

It may not look like it belongs in road warrior movies or anything - and it may not beat any LS1 f-bodies - but it sure feels good to drive and the V8 RWD combo is nice.
The 3-400 pounds would be shed real easily if you wanted to drag a GTO only. Personally I like the comfortable power leather seats, 10 speaker stereo and air conditioning - but they aren't condusive to racing if that's your thing. I will say it needs headers and an exhaust. I keep trying to convince myself it can wait until next spring...

Oh, and the dyno numbers have easily proven the GTO at the advertised 350 crank hp - why would they do any sort of buyback?
