Default 2005 GTO VS. Modded 2000 Trans AM WS.6 Video

Save the drama of street racing, these were back roads that are extremely open and low traffic. Second run was cut short due to debris that blew into the road.

The GTO is bone stock, the WS6 has a catback, air filter, and a tune. Both running on street tires.

Nice runs. Looks like the second race might have been close if you didn't have to slow down. I ran an 05 the other day and I was impressed.

Good video. I can't wait to run into an 05. Too bad there are none around here, and if I do find one, it'll be some old guy. Oh well.

Looks like it runs good though. Is the T/A an auto? Seemed like it...

Yeah I plan on getting a GTO next. Either Black with red interior or Impulse Blue with Blue interior. Have to wait a couple of years though. Paying off my '02 GT Mustang Conv.

I got some bad news. That is my video, and that is my WS-6. The only mods on that car is an air filter and the B&M Ripper shifter. Don't be fooled. I can whipp the gto.

Well, would you be mad if someone posted a video of a race you were in and lied about mods and the race. It is a shame. You cant believe anything on the internet anymore

I agree completely

Seriously though I'm glad they put an ls2 in the goat, ls1 goats just feel kind of sluggish to me.

In the first race it looked liked you had pulled him in already.

But, the 05' GTO is alos throwing down 400 HP and stock has mag raced quicker in the 0 to 60 so I am not surprised it pulled hard on the launch. After the launch it is pretty even though (IMO).

Nice video and I would have liked to see a run to 100 - 120 mph.

Definately that 400 hp is alittle overrated. Rode in a friends and thought the same thing. Only has 245 series rear tires and w/ traction control off from a dead stop it wont even break them loose. Havent got the chance to race him yet, but i will eventually. I love the looks, but just like the 04's ive seen, seems like GM overrated them. (Saw an 04 put down only 289 rwhp at a local dyno) So im sure the LS2 is overrated as well as the LS1's were in the 04's.

I think how much they weigh plays a big part in how fast they feel especially if there's more than one person in the car.
