Nice runs...a stock LS2 Vette is no match for your car. I've ran a few w/ my car which is built very similiar to yours and had the same results (minus the limp-mode part lol). But yeah, GTOs are turds, now think about your setup in that C6...nasty.

Yeah totally agreed. When I had less mods then OP (unported LS3 heads, smaller cam) I was putting bus lengths on LS2 vettes and C5 Z06's. Hell, only a couple cars off a well driven C6Z06 from a hwy roll - even beat a C6Z, but that was driver error on his part.

What I'm trying to say is your car is only 350-400lbs heavier then a C6, with 120+rwhp more. Way more then enough to walk him just like in that first race.

Get your car checked out, then if it's good then check out his car.

Im not real worried about it. Like I said I waeighed well over 4,000 lbs to his 3,380, I spun on the hit pretty good every time. The second race I start pulling decent untill I F up. Maybe My CEL came on on the first run idk.

With me in my GTO I'm always around 4000lbs. Yeah, I weigh that much. Really want to put the goat on a more hardcore diet but I always start feeling guilty about putting ME on a hardcore diet first. I could lose 100lbs...

Sorry for trying to be a debbie downer, you got the win and that's all that matters. Sometimes the wins come easy, sometimes you gotta work a bit harder for them.

Lol np man! These 3;91`s will really wake it up, and the Front Koni`s will help the traction so we may do it again when they are installed

I'm warning you man, those 3.91's will no doubt make it feel faster, but at your power level they aren't gonna help you any more then they are going to hurt you. Traction will not be your friend, and neither will your syncro's when you try to make lightning fast shifts so you don't lose ground.
