Just curious, who did the body work? Looks ok but the close ups look like the body lines still need some tweaking. It might just be the pic angle? not sure.

looks good man, i had a 04 goat a few years ago. i was actually pretty dissapointed with it. had a problem with wear on the inside of the rear tires. had it to the dealer time after time after time again and again. even called GM themselves and bitched. had the inner tires rub away every 5000 miles, gm said its supposed to do that, its the "race car stance" they gave it. needless to say i got rid of it.

Hahaha, funny John. I dont mind losing to your racecar, because its a racecar. We never got my race but who cares, with your brakes I would be scared to be next to you on the freeway. But the GTO will need atleast 1000rwhp to beat my car and with the f1 thats not going to happen, Dont get me wrong it will be fast but she is heavy.
Matt
PS: John when you going to let me drive, so you can get a 9 sec time slip?

Thumbs up

HOLY SWEET CRAP DUDE.
Beautiful GTO buddy! You're gonna need those wide anus wheels to get traction once all is said and done. I love that color, but what made you change from a different blue?
Can't wait to see it on the road. You better drive that bizratch around.. Don't let it become a garage queen.
I'm the guy you kept seein' at G-Force back in May, BTW.

When we going to play Matt I don't have a 1000rwhp in the black car but I think it has enough. What did you do at the 60-130? And the F1C has the capability to make 1k at the tires, but we'll see what it does when its back at G-Force etc... By the way John that was ******* hilarious signature. I never would have thought to do that to some one I was trying to mess with LOL!

I know the F1c capability, But do you think TJ's GTO will make that when they dyno it? I dont, even if it did the car has atleast 500lb of added weight to an already heavy car. I never said anything about your car, But weight and power is on my side. But stranger things have happend. If your comparing our 60-130 times, then you should know my car did that 5.9 spinning all the way down the track on the small shot using 3rd and 4th only. Starting the run at 2800rpm / 60mph, the nitrous didn't engage untill 3200. I was frustrated with the time natually, but not bad considering the circumstances. Now with over a 1XXrwhp more and starting in 2nd gear/ ending in 3rd I am shooting for easy 4's. Remember my car weighs 3150 with me in it.

As for John's signature it doesnt bother me, I beat him when I was cam only + 75 shot VS his 434cid 3 times back to back to back, so if he wants to be proud of beating my car on it's 11.0 motor pass then that's fine. After all he lost to Mikey from a roll, that's enough proof for me to as who's faster.

Matt,
Not comparing anything and I wasn't trying to call you out really just want a little action and since you gave me a beat down when my Vortech was untuned etc... Just thought we might have another go with farily comparable vehicles I weight about 3800 in the black car so weight is on your side on my account also. At the 60-130 with the keyways busted on the black car I did three 5.7's none of which were all out runs so it should be a good race. But I am with youon the GTO and don't think it will make 1K either, but should be very strong none the less.
Jeff

Any time you want to race me you know my phone number. Hell I will let you spray your 300 shot and we can do it again but this time I wont give you a 1/2 of a second lead. And I dont think you want any thing with Jeffs car that ****** will pull the doors off your car!!!
