Stock 2011 5.0 vs Stock 2006 GTO Posted this from another forum Im on. Every stang owner is saying the GTO isn't stock but it sounds stock to me and the guy who filmed the races knows both owners and said the GTO is stock.
I knew these cars were close...
LS2 GTO: Stock 6-Speed
5.0: Stock 6-Speed 3.31 geared

It's all about the driver. Stock 5.0 is undoubtedly faster than a bone stock LS2 goat. It makes more power and has less weight, so theres really no arguing that fact. My brother just raced a stock 3.31 geared M6 5.0 in his LS2 GTO tonight and they were dead even except I was in the car with my brother and the 5.0 only had a driver. My brothers car has kooks longtubes and a svede intake. The guy in the 5.0 we raced is a damn good driver. I'll try to get a vid up.

The quickest/fastest bone stock 5.0 times have come from the 3.31 geared M6's. The 3.73 is horrible for traction at the track. The 3.31 has the advantage there.
Moving into the auto and we know a lowered gear 5.0 isn't at any advantage vs. a higher geared 5.0. Same issue applies, traction.
When moving into gay street racing from a roll, the lower gear will help however not much. It boils down to where you begin the pull and how long you can stay in the optimal power range for RPM.

Power to weight! Extra passenger in the 5.0 even the playing field a little. And unfortunately Ls2 GTO owners cant say there motor was underrated, cause from what ive heard GM rated it pretty accurate.
Good races though

actually, it's probably just the car they are in. the ls2 vettes don't seem to be such turds. although, i have seen some ls2 swapped 4th gens that really weren't much faster than an ls1. def not worth the difference in price unless that 4" bore is getting used.

i'm not over impressed with the ls2. i think it is because of the intake. having the increased bore, compression, and 243 head should make more power than they do.
