A lot of people bitch that they are heavy cars, they are on the fat side. But if you think about it there about the same weight as a convertable F-body. Give or take some weight of course.

In your sig it says "weight reduction", what have you removed to reduce the weight of the car?

^^^Mine was 3800 w/ me in it. 1/2 tank of gas, bottom half of back seat removed, spare and tire change equipment removed, frcs removed, and a BMR skid plate. I also had some things that added weight like a corsa sport exhaust and kooks L/Ts w/ catted mids.

The advertised curb weight is 3725 if I am not mistaken.

I always thought the GTO was lighter, it looks smaller.

Goodness no.

People might disagree when I say this but after driving a GTO and my WS6 back to back just with the feel of the car when pushing to the limit you can tell the GTO is much heavier. Not so much in acceleration but round a corner until really really pushing the GTO.

Mine was 3680 with me in it but will now be slightly heavier as I have added weight to the front of the car with Twin Turbos and their accesories

You might be able to tell the car is much heavier but also what I didn't mention going around the corner when pushing the limits of the car, even with going the same speed as my Ws6 would be going, the GTO would feel more secure. Maybe this has something to do with the weight. That makes sense to me with the different style's of suspension between the F-body and GTO.

Off topic I know but I would strongly suggesting maybe posting some pics of your build/car.......? Just a thought. A video wouldn't hurt.....? Just joking bro, but my comment is encouraged.

Your car and combo SOUNDS SICK!

Will do, just waiting on my Meth Kit to come in to finalize everything. I have pics and video of the old NA build with nitrous, and will have new pics and vids of the Gen TTr and Meth soon.

I was kind of just kidding but not really when saying this. Your car along with it's NA power as well as spray numbers appealled to me. I'am very curous to see your current setup. Plus I know nothing about this TT kit.

Those vids that you mentioned, the car sounded great. Always a GTO that stuck out in my mind.

I look forward to your thread.
