If your looking for mid 12's with an auto goat, just go with a larger stall and full exhaust (headers, mid-pipes, cat back) plus a tune. You will get there easy.
I did it with my LS2 goat.

I like the way you drive your car. No matter what car it is, in the end, it's simply a tool. Unless they bought the car through a lease, I never understood why people would want to keep their cars low mileage. I guess they think that they'll live long enough to actually see their cars appreciate in value, if at all? Stupid people. I drive both of my cars as much as possible and encourage my little brother to drive the car that I'm not driving as much as possible, because cars are tools. Period.

If you get a a4 get 3.73's if you get a m6 then get the 3.91's.
And the backseats are the most comfortable backseats Ive ever sat in lol
I like the gto a lot more than the f body but the wieght does make a difference!
but you can get down to f body wieght pretty easy...im workin on that right now!

Just make sure you get the 6.0. Low 12s are easy street to achieve in the 6.0s and really GTOs in general. As a platform I don't think their superior when it comes to the drag stip against F-Bodies, but overall, their interior quality, overall build quality and handling are superior.
Your first mod should be to get rid of that uglyass spoiler

As far as the power handling ability of the LS2, there are PLENTY of people running 10's on a factory short block. One of the guys here in town as a 50K + mile '05 H/C/I car running mids 10's on spray, and drives it all the time. If you want a drag car, get an A4. If you really want to have fun with the car, get the M6. Just be prepared to spend some money on suspension mods and a clutch. 12's are REALLY easy in these cars, and you can still get good gas mileage for a DD. I average about 18mpg driving to and from work, and 23-25mpg on highway trips. Some guys are doing even better. Also, it is possible to make 400rwhp with a bolt-on only car. Not too many F-bodies doing that.

00 Z-28 and 04 GTO Buy an F-body to run 315 drag radials and drive on sunny days. Buy a GTO for a driver; it even works pretty well in the snow on Blizzaks. You won't regret it. I have both cars running about the same setup. The GTO feels a little more 'refined' but the Z is a little easier to work on.
