Wasn't much of a race, but I ran an 07-08 GT500. Was cruising down the highway when I noticed a nice looking mustang, once I got closer I realized what it was. I went by him and didn't think much of it, till I saw him creeping up on me near a very sharp turn that opens up into a straightaway. He got in the left lane, and I suspected that his plan was going to be blowing by me after the curve.

Dropped it into 2nd around 30mph and sure enough, he tried it. I let him get the jump, just to make sure he was into it. By the top of second, I had him by a fender and held it into 3rd, when he shut down.

Pretty sure he was bone stock, mine only has a borla catback and CAI. I was expecting to lose

First gens were turds. My 05 GTO felt faster than a 07GT500 I test drove. But would get smashed by my 10 GT500 lol. Good kill !

If it was, it was a damn good replica. Stripe, rear spoiler, wheels, exhaust, fake gas cap, etc were all correct for a GT500. I don't think a 3V would have kept up either.

I got to looking and the early GT500 is good for high 12's@111 with a good driver. LS2 goat is good for high 12's@108 with a good driver. Their 0-60 times are very close as well, 4.6 seconds for the GT500 and 4.7 for the GTO. Didn't realize how close they are in racing.

In theory you should've most definitely lost, but as we know that theory doesn't always apply lol

Up until the 2013 GT500's they were pretty unimpressive cars for their rated power. Good kill.

I have beat a 09 GT500 from a 60 roll. Only got up to 90. Had about a half car on him when I let up. That was when I was stock with just a tune.

Guy still had dealer tags on it. Felt bad for the guy, getting beat by a car with 395whp that's supposed to be inferior in a straight line

That's what I was thinking too, but apparently the GT500 hates hot/humid weather and heat soak. Saw one guy that gained 50+RWP from cooler air. It happened to be very hot and humid out.

07 GT100's are turds

Outcome seems unlikely. If you guys think 07 GT500s are turds then GTOs must be diarrhea. But we all know anything can happen on the street.

Well, diarrhea does come out a lot faster than a turd

Maybe the LS1 GTO, but not the LS2. Stock for stock, an LS2 goat will hang right with a fifth gen or a 5.0 till the top end.

I agree that I should have lost, but with the heat, an unknown driver, and how short the race was, I can see the GTO hanging on.

Good kill. Anything can happen on the street. LS2 GTOs were always a drivers race at the track with my header/cat-back/gear LT1 Camero. I would often get them by a couple tenths but they would have 1-2 mph advantage on me by the 1/4. I've never been impressed with them in Stock form.

Quickest one documented in stock form was 12.6@110.8. The average seems to be very low 13's@108. They're just a bitch to launch. I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to have 400HP on a 245/45/17 tire, but the dude was a moron.

Only thing I have owned that was harder to launch was my 92 T-bird SC. Same size tire, but gobs of torque at 2K RPM.
