In the market for a GTO

[DHolmes]

I don't believe you. The gto is best from a roll. its sucks on launch because of small tires.

my best friend was in the car,so i got a witness,but my buddy with gto had his GF take a vid,its on one of the GTO forums,Ill look for it and post a link,(you have to remember the ls1 gto was a auto,and i have a 5spd with 390 gears

the 1/4 for a stock 2004 ls1 gto is 13.6-13.8.my stang runs low 13's easy

I'm going to suggest taking it to the strip and getting some legitimate times. usually seasoned drag racers can give a "butt-o-meter" estimate and be pretty close, I've found the average car enthusiast often gets suprised when they get their timeslip.

I admit I havent taken it to the track,but i ran a 13.1-13.2 with a g tech

there real accurate,my buddy ran a 12.6 in his cobra,then ran 12.5 at the track .1 off

Yeah I question that one. When you have a time slip then we will believe it.

I used to hang with those GT's in my SOHC Cammed Honda.

With 3.90 gears from a roll its worse for you than a GTO A4.

you would probaly hang with any gt 98 and under,but any 99+ would wax your honda,I cant say anything I havent went to a track(2 hrs away),but i have used the gtech,And i did beat a 2004 ls1 gto from a roll,And i know many guys with the same mustang gt with the same mods hitting low 13's all day,and 12's with dr's,

And i believe my 390's help me from a roll,in 2nd im at like 4k rpms from a roll,i accellerate pretty fast,regardless I feel the ls1 gto is slow,if you want i can post timeslips of guys running those times with a 99-04 gt's with the same mods?, but those ls2 goats are crazy fast,and at the top of my list for my next car right under the cobra,I piantball ever sunday with the owner of the gto I will get a vid

I still question it. A 260 HP V8 with those bolt ons would require a sub 3000lb chassis with gobs of traction for that ET. I just don't see it happening, but a timeslip would sell me.

Why are you all fighting about the race between a GTO and a Rustang on an F-body forum? And no, Fox body =/= F-body in this case.

[FTA1995]

Know a guy with an LS2 Goat that keeps getting really serious electrical gremlins.
Big problems with the 'drive-by-wire' system on it,
Frying injectors, weird stuff...
the thing is just possessed, and its only got about 60,000 on it.

but they do look nice in a rear view mirror

you would'nt have seen mine (my 05 gto) in your rear view mirror.

Yeah With bolt ons you free up maybe 20RWHP with will maybe give you a tenth if that. Gears ok maybe 1-3 tenths. None the less thats less than 300whp.

I have about 320+whp (314 with 87 Acro gas and STOCK lol) and about 3600 including driver (Weight reduction) and Im running low 13's on a 2.1 60'.

I just cant see a car like that running under 300whp going 13.0-13.40. I dont know.

We could be wrong Joe. My brother, friend and I used to drive to Palmdale (1.5 hours, 2 hours in traffic) to the track there when we were in High school. Make a drive to Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield and then you should be in buisness.

Keep in mind Driver mod is the best Mod around! Thats how Some people get Bone stock F-bodies in the 12's on street tires. Gawd I need some practice lol

[Joe 1320]

We could be wrong Joe.

of course! I would bet that 300 RWHP, 3.90 gears, slicks in a no more than 3000 lb chassis would be right there. I'm not even factoring in what chassis brand we're talking about. In fact, the brand makes little difference. It's all HP to weight and chassis tuning.

Nailed it.

It's amazing, even from a rolling start, what kind of difference the right driver can make.

The quickness of the shifts, Powershifting all that stuff. The biggest thing still is a driver mod from a dig.
