That G8 sounds nasty. Nice shifting on the GTO end. Expected more out of the T/a

I'm let down by the formula, That's basically my car in terms of power mods and it loses to a bolt on GTO that weighs 300lbs more??? Driver mod please.

Dissapointed in the Formula. SRZ's G8 is sick as always. Your brother's GTO runs well, and needs louder exhaust so we can hear it car in the runs lol.

I wouldn't mind getting a run in with that goat, too bad I live so far away.

Not sure...he's never tracked it. That was actually his first race with the new cammed setup!

It was tuned at Slowhawk Performance and put down 377 on a mustang dyno. His shifts seemed pretty good and he revved it out the second run, so IDK.

Theres a reason we keep the stock exhaust! Gives it that nice sleeper chevy cavalier effect, LOL.

And thanks everyone else for the compliments!

Good runs as always. Formula made same/less power than the GTO and while his shifting wasn't awful, it wasn't as good as the goats, makes sense.

Thanks for the compliments, guy! As stated previously, those were the first races with the new setup on the Formula. He's come a long way, driving-wise, since he first started playing around with the car when I first met him. The more races he gets, the better he'll get at banging those gears!

I think the Formula and the GTO are probably on par, with the GTO being driven better. Both are probably 114 mph cars in decent weather with equal driving.

good runs. Damn i cant wait to get my parts on so I can come out there and spend the day racing.

T/A needs to start in a lower gear and work on his shifts. Shifts werent bad.. but if i had to guess equal drivers in both cars, the T/A would have had half a car on the GTO. GTO driver has his **** together. And Screamins car doing its thing as usual

The formula was still on stock 3.42 gears. I'm sure he'd pick up big time with steeper gearing since cams love to come into their powerband faster. Both cars started in 2nd gear at around the same RPM...GTO just "hits" harder with the displacement advantage.

My brother has thought about modding the GTO more, but it's just so fun to race it as is because most people are surprised at the outcome with such minimal mods! It's such a fun car how it is, and with it's trap speed, it makes for a great match up with most street driven cars in the area.

The GTO has a steeper 2nd gear too.

Yea I knew something was different on the MN12 trans. I think they have a short 1st and 2nd, and a longer 3rd and 4th? Def helps move that boat! And the formula needs some 3.73's or 4.10s!!
