so i raced my c5 vert against ls1 gto.
it really didnt suprise me, i pulled about 2-3 car lengths, and then i let off. we started at about a 25 roll and ended around 100.
the goat was a 6spd, mine auto. so it wasnt a bad race but, im deff. not happy with the power output. its going to get heads and cam by next winter. its needed

 

might want to watch out for the ls2 goats

 

Wrong, they suck also!

 

lol the ls2 gto really isnt that fast im pretty surprised i raced one the other day from a 35 roll outta 2nd umm yea i put 4 lengths on him by 100 but im kinda modded and he was stock but it was pretty funny the dude talked serious sh#t i got a cam bigger than the ms4 and trickflo w/ slp loudmouth. u can tell obviously im not stock....what an idiot

 

And the GTO bashing begins..............

 

lol MY 97 bascily Stock 6 speed beats my buddys 06 Ls2 Goat which is stick too. I get him by about 2 cars near the end of 4th. other than that its always a good race.

 

BASH BASH BASH

 

My buddy's 06 M6 GTO kills my auto C5 from a roll all the time and I run 12.92 at the track.

 

Nice runs.

Yeah I wouldn't rule out the GTOs so quickly especially the manuals from a roll, even stock ones.
Once modded all bets are off, GTOs can move.

 

I wouldn't waste my gas on a GTO becuase of my previous experience racing one in my V. I have a bunch of Vids of the bashing, i will try to post them. It was a brand new auto ls2 goat and i took it hard from rolls and when we raced off the line I had atleast 4-5 cars to 100.

 

The Goat's LS2 (05-06) is no joke but severly hampered by the weight and rubber of an otherwise VERY nice automobile.

 

dude no joke who puts a c6 corvette engine in a tank of a car and expects it to pull on i think they are 265's on the rear.....lol

 

even worse stock 17= 245
stock 18 = 235

 

lol no way...wow

 

i dunno if i can throw stones..well i cant im still runnin my ef1 supercar tires they grip like my *** chews tobacco

 

You have to consider the GTO isnt a car developed to compete with the Vette. They're two completely different cars. That'd be like you beating a Mustang GT. Congratulations.

I just don't know why vette owners are SO quick to bash Goats.

 

There are some with 275 nitto DRs though.

im not bashin, i like the goats. i was very impressed with the run by the goat. and not very impressed with my c5. althought mine is an auto and a 273 car.lol

 

I'm still trying to figure out what a car link is??? Is that like a car length, or is it a new style of hitch or something??

One of the slowest versions of the C5 against an updated LS1 in a GTO with a manual. I see no problems there.

I personally love the GTOs!! Watch out for a LS2 version...

 

Once again, this is a incorrect statement! They are fun to drift through....
