Scott at a dragstrip cammed GTOs are probably running like **** with the IRS and the small tire size. Hell its a 6.0 LS1 motor, I know its an LS2 but its just a big LS1, so mod for mod the motor will make more power. GTIs are hard to drive though. And making as much power as you are Veyrons look like they cant get out of their own way.

dgr00s

LOL a being supercharged and calling something slow, moron. If its true.


I still have the challenge out there. ANY f bodies in my are that are stock or only have catback that want to run on the highway to settle this let me know. We will get it on video and post here.

TORNATIC!!

That's what I'm talking about a challenge. Good luck finding a stock or catback only F-bod

since i know he has posted on this site since the question was asked. i can only assume he was procharged. very interesting.

My 00 SS i have had for 8 years now, stock it ran a best of 13.2@104,A4.
My wife's 06 GTO we have had for 1 year ,stock it ran a best of 13.5@103,A4.

SS was in 40 deg weather,and the GTO was in the mid summer heat!

I know my SS is quicker and faster w/ current mods,but the GTO is a much nicer fit/finish car. Better seating,(comfortable) better brakes(stock) and the engine is WAY easier to work on,(at least you can see the whole thing).

Only mod the GTO has is a Vig3600 convertor,and it ran a 12.9 without any tuning with TM killing it with every shift.

I have big time respect for the GTO and the LS2.

A lot out here (unfortunately) - hence my winning record.

TORNATIC!!

Well I have a GTO and I don't have the same luck down in the south where the passion for racing and race cars is unmatched.

sorry guys havent been around in a wile, but hell no!! i was bone stock, with a borla catback, i raced a 6.0 over the weekend again with my procharger and that was just funny, there was no point in racing, from a 55 roll i had a 20 car lead when i shut down at 120.....

Yeah IRS is the suck for drag/street racing. But hopefully I will have IRS soon!LOL

jmdgto

you have been posting according to your profile of posts , buts that's beside the point. i believe the procharger race. but the bone stock beating 5 gto without a loss is still hard to believe. i know your car is fast, but the rest is suspect. this is the last response to this topic from me. tks

Deuuuce

In NorCal we only have: 2 dragstrips (one NHRA) and 3 road courses (1 internationally acclaimed). The nascar passion (thankfully) isn't so prevalent here.

Yeah..San Jose is pretty big on street racing. I used to live there.

Hey Deuuuce do you have a vid of the sound of your SRT8? My office mate has one and he is about to add heads and cams and a bunch of other stuff...but he has a Corsa exhaust and he wants to get a REALLY nice sound from it. Does yours sound really beefy?

Deuuuce

I think the street racing thing died off - crack downs, etc. The ricers killed it with idiot driving and slow cars - they can't compete with serious domestics (I mean serious like 10sec and faster).

The Magnaflows sound good, a little bit of resonance around town/part throttle. They have sound clips online. I don't but I should.

I understand Zoomers are pretty beefy. At WOT, its a combo of my CAI and the exhaust.

Always the Lt1 guys that make these comments... The car your calling slow runs about a second faster and traps close to 10 mph more then your car in stock form.

i dont know why people think this is sooooo hard to belive sometimes, gto weigh alot more with 55 more crank horse....... not that big of a deal, i beat those cars in stock form with a borla catback.

necrocannibal

iTrader: (5)

Well they dont weigh ALOT more ,they weigh like 200 more, and they have better gearing and more horsepower thats why.

OK I will admit that the GTO is a bland looking car, but I think it's better ANY DAY than the "overgrown adolescent" styling of the Formula. Whenever I see one of those things I can just imagine the "Gold Chain Guido" behind the wheel. (My apologies if this does not describe you, it's just the stigma that those cars have in New York). And as far as "Flaming Away" goes...I think the name "Firehawk" says it all lol. Getting back to the point, we all know that the F-bodies are better 1/4 mile cars than the GTO's...they are lighter and have the solid rear axle. However, that is the very end of the list of things that the Formula does better than the GTO. The ride quality, interior finish, and general refinement of these cars are not comparable. The GTO is a 2-door sports sedan marketed towards adults, the Formula is a pony car marketed towards pimple-faced teenagers. Also, let me tell you that it feels GREAT every time an F-body pulls up expecting to beat me...because they never have yet! (The only F-body that ever came close was another APS twin turbo car and we have so many traction issues that the lighter weight of the F-body might actully have hurt him lol). The point being that when I had my Corvette, no one wanted to race me cause they knew I was fast - but in my GTO they ALWAYS wanna race and they NEVER know how fast I am until it's too late! Also, people always forget that the LS2 is a MUCH more boost friendly engine than the LS1 (despite the higher compression)...who cares how they compare stock? Is there even such a thing as a stock F-body any more? Anyway, I digress...
