Well, I was driving home last Thursday night and pulled up to the light and noticed this chick driving an 04 Gt. We pretty much looked at each other and grinned. I didn'tthink much about it. Didn't really even think about racing. When the light turned green she tore out. In a split second I said to myself, okay, if that's waht she wants. By this time she was about three car links ahead. I just laid the hammer down and passed her like she was sittin still, got about 4 links ahed of her and waited for her to catch up. We were haveing a good time. I got to the next light and she asked to go again. I said okay, and told her I would give her a head start. Which I did. Then passed her again. Afetr beating her, I let her get up close and we both chatted side by side. She said I just had to see, Pride thing you know. I said that's okay. I'll have to spend 30 bucks to fill my gas tank up again with all the gas prices going up. We both laughed and that was it. It was nice to race someone and laugh about it in the end.

I haven't raced one but I hear that stock '05 GTs are quite slow. What do they run in the quarter and 0-60?

My z-28 is an A4 Her's sounded like an automatic from how is shifting. I knew the gt's didn't have much power but it was entertaining.

I have a friend with a stock 05 gt. His is a M5. It seems to have a lot of torque but winds out quickly. I've out ran him and I've also driven his car. It's formidable

He said 04 GT (260hp) not the 05 GT (300hp). The 05's can hold their own but in stock form is not likely to take an LS1.

BS, her car was newer. At least that is what I was told by a guy in a '98 V6 Camaro before we raced. Needless to say the LT1 made me proud in that race.

I have heard that the torque management on the 05's is a problem. I raced a new GT (5 speed) last weekend. It wasn't to impressive to me, especially considering I walked him fairly easy. However, I was beaten by a fender by one when I had my 94 T/A. The T/A ran 13.30's@103. Like I said, they can be decent competition, especially once more and more become modded.

I raced 2 05 GT's 5 speeds, one with full exhaust, and the other stock, Mods on my car in sig, the one with full exhaust, i he was pulling till my car got to 5 grand, then i pulled around by the time my car hit 3rd and just kept pulling. the stock one was a joke.....

Off topic, but your sig is ******* retarded. The LS1 is NOT > than the LT1, unless you're talking stock vs stock. In which case you should change your signature to reflect that, or you'll have alot of people laughing at you.

Another LS1 vs. LT1....stock the LS1 is stronger, mod for mod, the LS1 is more stout (unless you reach the limits of the aluminum block.... LT1 heads flow much less than LS1 heads, stock, end of story, my GT40P heads flow almost as much as LT1 heads, and i have a 302. My heads are almosti identical to 98 explorer heads...

I agree. Sometimes you just gotta call a spade a spade. I know my LT1 experience is one I'd rather forget. A relay that runs the electric fans quit working on the 3rd day I had the car. I limped it to work instead of pulling over. Right after the bleeder screw was blown out of the hole I knew I was in trouble. Stopped for water 3 or 4 times but the damage was done. I cracked the transmission belhousing somehow (1,800 new trans.). I then spent 4,700 on Headers,Hot Cam, Roller Rockers,Moroso CAI,PCMFORLESS tune,knock module,rebuilt LT-1 bored +.30,corvette cervo,DR's,I'm sure I forgot something but you get the idea. Did I mention I replaced 3 opti's in 6 months? The opti-spark is perhaps the biggest mistake GM made because it is so hard to change (correctly) and so easy to mess up. I mean who was the a$$hole that decided that underneath the water pump was a good place for the distributor?
I feel the flames getting hot already, but I just call them like I see them! It's kinda like when you first get sh*tfaced on Jagimeister (spelling?) and you throw up green toxic waste for hours. You'd probably cringe at the sight of or smell of that adult beverage. That's the way I feel about the LT-1.

My 05 isn't slow,only takes a couple parts to run door to door with a LS1.
