Default L99 SS vs 05 GTO

Last night coming home from dinner with the wife, we happen to pull up next to an 05 IBM GTO at a light. I didn't think anything of it other than "that's a nice color." Anyway, light turns green and we both roll out normally until I hear him hit it in 1st gear (he was a m6). I mash it around 17mph and happened to get a first gear downshift. The camaro starts spinning it's 245 blizzaks like crazy with the tcs trying it's best to stop it. Immediately stopped his pull with our nose at his door. Third gear I'm dead even with him, fourth gear just gets worse. By 130, I shut down with about a 2 foot gap between our rear bumper to his front.

Seemed like a cool guy since he was tapping his brake lights as he turned off. Not sure about mods on his car, but it did sound like he at least had exhaust on the car. Sorry for no video.

*cliff notes*
L99 SS camaro puts about 1 car on 05 GTO M6 from a very low roll. Race was about 17ish mph - 130.

Why did you put 245s? They came with 275s on the rear lol. Good Kill though! I raced a full bolt on ls2 6spd goat and lost by 3 cars in my stock l99 from a roll. But after a tune and intake i pulled him every time gotta love the A6 in those cars.

The 245 blizzaks are her winter tires (wife's car). When the weather breaks, I'll switch them out for her TSW Nurburgrings with 275s up front and 315s out back. Yeah the tunes definitely wake the L99 cars up!!!

Idk how you beat a cammed L99 with a stock GTO. Unless he was using the paddle shifters and not shifting when he was supposed to lol. Are you the same guy that pulled 5 cars on a C63 AMG?

Not 5 cars, maybe a car and a half.
My GTO also ran 12.54 @ 111.74 stock in 1500 DA at slow LVD.

Idk but It would take a cammed ls2 goat to pull on a C63. The car traps around 115mph and with a simple ecu tune around 120 mph. A stock GTO will see AMG tail lights.

I'd just post videos and tell people what the car has run.
Got called out at a GTO gathering at Englishtown.
I told the guys there that the car went 12.1 @ 115 with just headers and a tune.
30 GTO guys checked my car out top to bottom... one even hooked it up to HPT to check the tune to see if anything was changed for a cam.

Went out and ran 12.1 @ 115 all day.
They ate crow

Same day I ran my car there was a black C63 at my track going high 12s @ 109-110 allllllll day. Sport mode trac off. They aren't as fast as people think. Maybe the newer/optioned ones that have some kind of different tune, I forget what those options are.

Back to the cammed L99 though... it was a stock manifold car with a small cam, intake, tune. I took him pretty easily but he did hang around down low.

Everything I ever said about the GTO was backed up with videos.

The problem is they are fast but a poor driver can make a fast car look slow. A car that weighs the same as a GTO and puts out 50-107 hp more would smash one. Your not the only one to own a GTO. And those times seem a bit happy for just tune and headers on stock tires.

I've never seen a stock goat run that fast. I owned a 06 gto. 6 speed. Torquer v2 cam. Ported intake. Full exhaust. Monster clutch. Vera ram intake. 423rwhp. And my goat only ran 12.0's
At 114mph.

c63 amg made 358 on the same dyno my stock GTO made 345.
And it's ~2-300lbs heavier. My GTO was 3625, 6spd with 17s. The auto with 18s was ~100lbs heavier. And a C63 amg is just about 3900lbs.

No bullshit here... always had a video when I was talking about my GTO.

yes, engine and trans tune. Other than tunes, all it has are Borla mufflers, LSR cold air (did nothing in terms of hp) and a magnaflow x pipe in place of the resonator.

it ran 12.90 @ 107 directly off of the showroom floor (about 500 miles on the clock). after tunes and the mufflers, it went 12.68 @ 109. hasn't been back to the track since. it will be back because of the challenge i signed up for on here lol

That is real good, keep in mind your running 29" tires on 3.27 gears if your gear up or run shorter tires it run real good. Then add a converter well lets you say you'd hurt some feelings!

Juice when you swapped gtos, you should have shown the other guy how to turn on the nitrous kit.Your gto had a few lines that a normal gto doesn't.

You're fabricating ideas in your head because you lack the ability to comprehend that it was stock.
