Default SRT8 vs 6.0 GTO

Finally have something to post after years of lurking. (be gentle)

Driving home from shopping I see burnt orange LS2 GTO goes past and throws a rev. I instantly get excited and hope for a run. I shift down and let him know I'm game. We fool around for a few (cat and mouse type ****) till we get a open stretch and slow down to about 45. I start the honk but he jumps on the second beep by a car. I followed suit and stopped his pull and pulled maybe 1-1/2 cars when I shut down about 100-120ish. I followed him off the freeway and asked him if he wanted to get some runs in at the local spot.
He declined, said it was too hot because idiots wanting to do donuts on the freeway.

My charger has heads cam and mufflers
his GTO had at least exhaust (sounded sick).
If he's in here I would love to get some runs in I haven't had any REAL action since I got my car back together.

Nice kill, I think the car seat mod gave you the edge.

Ever since I had the work done on my car it took a good 3 months to finally get a run in. Glad to see another Bay Area 4dr putting in work.

Yeah I agree, I raced a LT1 on 26"s a week ago. I was desperate.

Yeah it's been about 4 months for me. LOL I wasn't sure I even put it together right since I had nothing to test it on.

Maybe after I'll catch you out there sometimes. I would love to take a stab at you

I'm down to run you boat VS boat. Would be fun to watch you car walk away from me.
Maybe you,me the yeti can work something out 4k pound minimum races.


Give me an excuse to buy bolt ons and try again

I think I know who's car it was. He has intake, headers, and a tune. His best at the track was 13.2 I believe. Sweet looking GTO for sure.

I can believe headers. His car screamed. I couldn't hear my horn over it.

I actually had my iPhone ready to record,
But I never got the PCM update so my trans don't upshift on its own.
Leave it in drive it won't go down to second. (I'm sure I don't have to explain this to you tho)

And keep quiet about the car seat mod. Don't want everyone stealing my secret.

As long as your kids aren't in the car this weekend going down to San Diego it'd be fun to get some runs in with you as you pass through lol.

I would be all over the opportunity, but
It will only be me and my daughter so won't be doing any racing.
Unless you want to do a 5th gear 60 to 70 pull lol
