Default Ran my buddies cars. SRT4 and WRX

Just bought a box stock LS2 GTO!
Ran two runs against my buddies. 60-110mph.

Me vs 2009 WRX.

I let him brake boost and kick it first. I stayed right beside him then started pulling pretty good at the top of 3rd. I pulled a length on him when I let off at 100. Not too bad for a stock WRX. He did get a nice jump though.

Me vs SRT4 on 15lbs
He brake boosted 3rd and we hit it at 55mph with me in 3rd. He pulled a half a length and I pulled it right back. I put my car in 4th and pulled ahead. He let off and I kept going for fun.

If I had ran them past 100 my car would have raped them. We plan on doing a 30 roll sometime and I think that would be better. Just thought I would share my first races with the Goat.

haha well I already have my hot chick. and she doesn't fuss until I hit about 125
as far as mods I am getting a short throw shifter and a CAI first. Then save up for headers and catback then a tune. Should be stronger and I will leave it like that for a long while until I buy a cheap beat around car. Then I will get a Cam and try to have right at 430whp for a while. Shouldn't have too many cars outrun me then.

Nice runs man and congratulation on you new ride.

Just think, you ran them that good in stock form. Imagine if you had some mods on your GTO. If you do plan on throwing some mods on your ride, run them again and get some video. Would be kool seeing you run away from them!
Good luck and be safe, man

stock wrx and srt4 are impressive and beasts?????? Man, you really need to do the basic heads/cam bolton mods and rearrange your perceptions. Besides, with those affordable mods you will not need to ever turn your stereo on! I often do my 35 mile each way commute with the radio on mute.
