If its not a LS2 you should win. Watch out for the 05's they are pretty quick just my 2cents.

I dont think the LS2 GTOs are that fast, they have to make up for a lot of weight and they have IRS.

I may be wrong, but I would think an 01-02 F-body is about as fast as any of the new GTOs.

04 GTO vs. fbody is pretty close too but an fbody should win.

Nah actually the '05 GTO should be slightly faster. But it's close enough that if the GTO driver makes an error the LS1 Firebird or Camaro would be right up his a**!!

I dont know if its faster than a f-body yet I havent run one. After owning both I think the ls2 feels stronger with the extra cubes and torque but it needs it to pull around a few extra pounds. Stock against stock I think the ls2 would probably win but it could come down to the driver. Depending on how strong the ls1 is some are alot stronger than others.
