This GTO only has custom 200hp nitrous, EWP, LT and CB. 3500TC.
Course since its BMR's they have their chassis parts and proprietary chromoloy driveshafts. At no time did BMR break the OE driveshafts with 10 11 second passes on them.

yeah on the second pass........ on way to a 10.80.
They have a iron 408 on the way with Lunati parts. expect to see a 9.90 GTO!
It took a very modded Cobra to run a 10.91 even had 9" and automatic trans conversion.

I'm not saying BMRs GTO is a world beater but look at what it took for them to run 10.98. No KB, trans or a solid axle swap. My point is Cobras put down some power but they arn't alone.

Just so you know, 10.90's in a '03 Cobra happen every day on STOCK rear end with a STOCK T56. I've been 11.20's on a tiny shot of nitrous. Up that shot and 10's are a no problem.
BMR did a great job by getting their GTO into the 10's.
edit: I'll be in Chicago in less than a month if you want to test me.

Don't mind me brotha. Too much drinking tonight. 
You'd see that I gave big props to BMR if you read their post in the GTO forum. I'm no hater. They did a great job and deserve credit. It's a very impressivel thing they did.

You have to realize you arn't the only person with a Cobra unit213. I work with a guy that has a '03 cobra that speed inc. tuned to 460rwhp with basic mods. So I get to listen to a cobra guy did this and that all day long. He talks about it like its the fastest car in the world.

460rwhp is nothing. I completely understand that. I made that a long time ago. My car feels slow as dirt. Anything less than 1000rwhp is a turd IMO. My perspective is getting extremely skewed these days after seeing my boy run 7.1's.

Both vehicles have their better points both have issues to any given opinion. However opinions are like ********.

if someone where to walk up to me and offer me a band new GTO for my 2000 SS, i would probably be offeneded. I may however buy my wife one, because to me the gand prix was always a woman's car.
