You got burned...bad...by an all motor car most likely. GTO's do
not come with a blower.

Nah, it had to have a supercharger. According to that website, his car is .2 seconds faster to 60 than the GTO.

Considering his 14.2 ET, which is listed in his sig, I'm going to go out on a limb and
say his first loss was also his first race. I can't imagine guys are out there winning
left and right with a 14 second car.

^^ No disagreement with that....think after a little time researching the competition that he'll stick to killin' pickup trucks and stock SRT-4s.

I have a question, in regards to your sig.

Have you ran your car down the 1320 to see what it actually runs? If we followed your example, every LS1 on here would be claiming high 12s!

Looks like he just pulled that time from a website of times listed...we have no proof his car is even out of the 15s... especially after all these years.

Of course looking at that website its pretty obvious why he lost...

2004 Pontiac GTO LS1 5.3 13.8
2005 Pontiac GTO LS2 4.8 13.0 (GM Sales Literature)

Him, of course. His sig does say "Anymore questions?" at the end.
