2002 ws6 vs 2004 gto first kill! Well firstly, his mods were full exhaust, open cutout, 2800 stall, and a hptuners tune, and he also had a passenger, my mods are just basic bolt ons and no tune yet ( mods in sig ) my cutout was also open.
We started off on a main road from a dig, and got up to 50ish, it was pretty even so I can't say who won, I spun pretty bad. The next two races we're on the highway, so we line up, 3 honks, and it's from 30-80, I had him about 2 cars. The last race was from 60-120, I had a good hit so did he, I ended up with about 3-4 cars on him.
This was my first race in this car, good times, we stopped afterwords and talked a bit, I'm adding a Yank 3600 in the next month or less, as well as a panhard bar and LCA's and brackets, and a decent tune, I bet then it won't even be fair, I'm still on stock ws6 wheels, I imagine I'll need a sticky tire with the stall.
Overall I expected to win with the weight differences, I'm not exactly sure how much lighter mine is, i think a few hundred lbs?

First off good kill 
and yes you do have the weight advantage of about 300 pounds or so. I really never saw a point in getting the Ls1 GTO Because it weighs so much more than the F-Body and is good decent amount slower because of it. But thats just my opinion im not ******* on the GTO at all. Maybe they buy them because it has a nicer interior? Im not too big on caring about interior so thats probably another reason why i wouldnt want one over an f body lol

From 70-110 I would say it's, on average, a 2-3 car length difference. So, IMO this race went differently than I thought it would. Should have been closer, and the from a dig you should have gotten raped. Time for the GTO driver to learn to drive.

It's alot more than just interior: ride quality, build quality, rattle free squeek free and has great visibility. Also, us bigger guys fit the GTO better than nearly any car made by anyone out there: SRT8, SS any year, Mustang, CTS, any BMW or Mercedes, etc. If you are 6'5" or taller you know what I'm talking about! If I was short like the rest of you bastards, I'd probably own either a C6 LS3, C5 Z06, or LS2 CTS-V.

Trying to get one of those after saving up a little. Although it still feels like i would be too short for an F body, everythime I sit in one it feels like I cant see over the wheel lol because the way the seats are so low and angle down they feel like.Anyway to the race, honestly speaking even though it was heavier I thought it would be alot closer race too with his mods

My bad, I was off with the last race above, he said it was more like a car and a half from 60-120, it's hard to look over accurately going 120.
We just raced again without his passenger and we're DEAD even from 60 to 130, closest race I've ever been in, goes to show you weight does matter.
My Yank3600 will be installed next month.
