Default Silver GTO with BAA BYE plates?

Just wondering who drives the silver GTO with BAA-BYE plates with the black wheels? What a clean car. I was the one in the WS6 this morning on the Beltway, you may want to consider revising those plates!!! HAHA....Nice ride bro, best looking GTO ive seen!

I wonder what he has done to his car? I have a heads/cam set up and pulled a few lengths on him. Just curious, it was fast for a goat........ Very clean car, and yes he turned off Pearland Parkway onto the Beltway with me, must be the same guy!

Nice lookin car man. You got the jump on me and I couldnt reel you in.
I have HPE S cam, headers, exhaust, cai, and stock 243 heads. 415 rwhp. You got me by about 400 lbs in weight. That was one of the cleanest if not the cleanest WS6s I have ever seen. Congrats. Good run.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it..... Your car is by far the best looking GTO I have seen, its kind of making me want to buy one! My clutch has been slipping, keeps walking itself out.....Hopefully the SPEC 3 clutch and flywheel will eliminate that problem on saturday. Anyhow, nice nice car and good run!

I went with a Spec 2+ about a year ago. Its holding ok but I will be replacing it with the LS7 clutch before too long.

Im hoping the spec 3 will last more than a year, from what I know
people have had success with them. I guess we will see soon.

Well its not that its not holding any more. Its just not a very smooth clutch. Even after a year and 12k miles on it, its still very chattery. We had Goats using the LS7 clutch, which is alot cheaper, that is holding very well with 100 rwhp more then me. It feels like stock and does not chatter at all.

Mine is still fine in my car. I just now put drag radials on the car so we will have to see. I'm going to go to the track this weekend if the weather is ok. Your car looked good for sure the last time I say it in my rearview lol. Its all good your car ran pretty good for H/C. But **** man speed up the roll next time a 40 lol I thought I was going to hit your car.

Yeah about the clutch I made more power than you on my old setup went to the track a decent amount of times and it has held up just fine. It is easy to drive in my book does not bother me at all. Mine has 25,000 miles on it and 5,000 miles are with the big motor. It has been a good clutch, but when I get a new one I'm going with a Mc whatever duel. Joe put some gas on that thing, and get a 12 bolt.

Very soon, I will be going forced induction and a 12 bolt. At that point, you wont be seeing me in your rearview!!! Oh, BTW, you should race John, that might be close.....lol. When are you planning on going to the track? We have been wanting to take out the vette, just havent had time and this weekend would be great. Let me know, we should get some people and head out if the weather holds out!
