05 GTO, 0-60 & 1/4 with a G-TECH
well i finally had a chance to see what the goat would do with the g-tech.
the first 3 runs were on the freeway after driving an hour to work, oh by the way the freeway is pretty empty, 4 in the morning and i start from the emergency lane, so i'm hurting my time alittle.
1st run: 0-60 5.65, 1/4mi. 13.99@107.5
2nd run: 0-60 5.51, 1/4mi. 13.60@108.0
3rd run: 0-60 5.47, 1/4mi. 13.49@108.5
the last run i let the car cool down for about an hour after i got home.
0-60 5.56, 1/4mi. 13.45@109.8----------- i like that trap speed,
i'm not launching the car good, i'm getting too much wheel spin through first, i need more practice. 05 gto stock filter removed, k&n cone filter in place.

Your GTO is strong, don't worry about it.

I took my GTO to the track with the GTECH....I found that the Track ET was actually .10 better than the GTECH, but the mph at the track was 3 mph lower than the GTECH. I ran a 12.5 @115 per the track, and it was a 12.6 @ 118 per the GTECH. These results seem pretty typical....within .1 as far as ET, and 2-3 mph "too high" with the GTECH. Could be that the tracks use an average across distance at the end of the track for mph.
I bet you will run 13.3 at 106 with your 05 GTO...that is what I have been seeing at my track with 05's that are still stock. Amazing that a big heavy car that drives like a cadillac can click off low 13's stock on shitty tires.

I was just about to reply that i hooked up a buddies g-tec for ***** n giggles and it said i trapped 129 mph..close but not quite. Those things are fun but not quite accurate enough MPH wise.

I tried posting g-tech times once too and got flamed by everybody. I dont have a 1/4 track less than two hours away. As far a the g-tech they had an article from hot rod magazine last month where they used it at a track and it posted almost identicle times. The mph is usually about 3-5 higher but times were accurate. That is pretty good stock numbers. A few mods and you will smoke the s-2000.

i know the goat is running pretty strong, i raced a c5 vette i only lost because i had a sloppy 2-3 shift. i was at his rear tire when he shut it down.
