Agreed. mine stock was 3660 and it's a auto. Now it should be in the 3500ish range with weight loss from exhaust and removal of skid plate and towing brackets. On par with a loaded WS6.

Wanna talk crap about the IRS? Hell, I went 1.9's all day long with stock stall on street tires. 1.7's with boltons/3600 stall with a shot posi giving me a 1 leg peal. Now I'm confident I can hit 1.6's for sure, and probably 1.5's on my summer only street tires (265/40/17).

Good kill stoppy. I'm a bit late to the party on this kill, but I can't help but wonder if the gto could've used the driver mod.

Running Star Spec's which are a max summer tire used for autocross racing. Basically a drag radial with stiff sidewalls. I can't go full WOT off the line due to stiff sidewall so I gotta let it roll 3 to 5 feet before going WOT (leave gas pedal at position just short of powerbraking at the line).

On a unprepped street even ET Streets can't beat me off the line.

Honestly I think the driver wasn't that great. I was pulling him like a raped ape. I'm sure a better driver could have done better.

No, I still haven't paid off the Anomalous rocket I will need to strap to the roof before I race you.

good kill stoppy, and props to you for being honest about him possibly needing the driver mod...i beat a '04 gto m6 with my WS6 auto. 2.73 gears, he started it, i finished it...so if i can beat one i know how you beat it so easily.

Stoppy..it sounds like you have the driver mod going for you. After seeing your video from the track, I can see that you definitely know how to push your car to get the most out if it.
Good kill..

I can picture you as the type that would stage at the tree and/or wait for someone to flag you off.
