04 GTO's were the LS1. In 05 they bumped them up to the LS2 for obvious reasons. GTO's are slow. They need all that extra power to move its chunky fenders, and rear bumper.

How does your car get sideways and billow smoke from the wheel wells if you had traction control on? I'm sure your 13 sec "35 Anniversary" Z28 is a beast, but is it so powerful that it can defeat T/C and smoke the tires?

this is the reason i am looking for a new torque converter my car WILL break the tires loose with traction control on when in first it will not power brake but will spin with no remorse and that is no lie. just punch it and hold your foot to the floor and it will do it it jumps alot with the throttle but it will do it(at least mine did). when i past the guy i was spinning the tires i do not know if he was or not but i do know his car was screaming through the exhaust. when the kid was passing me is when i punched it and like i said i had let out and was coasting waiting for him but when he passed he was not moving very fast so yes he could have been spinning i didnt really see if he was i was trying not to hit him but i still took him.

USAF Hess- Sorry flyboy this grunt aint buying your story. If you hadn't added in the blowing away the tires and yanking him part I would have bought it, but no way no how did your 13 second car pull another 13 second car like that.

Because he was spinning too....you didnt say the gto was spinning you just said he hit it and you walked him smoking the tires.

Wait. Did you just compare a mid to high 14 second 15 year old Mustang to a low 13 second 2-4 year old GTO??


The reason the Mustnag went like that is its old and SLOW. A friend of mine had a 94 GT and I pulled him in my 01 WS6 spinning but his car also ran low 15s. Apples and oranges.

Just quite trying to explain yourself and be happy with your kill, i've noticed some gto owners, especially the ls2 model owners get especially buthurt when an fbody beats them, atleast the few i have run wont give a thumbs up or anything, just look pissy and straight forward.
