got off work early the other day, like around 3:30 in the morning, i was heading up euclid and the street was empty, out of nowhere a yellow and black gto shows up. i dont think nothing of it. kept driving, got on the 60 freeway and so did he, the freeway was empty so we slowly started to speed up and i just took off, hit about 90 or so and he was passing me, i wasnt really racing just speedin a little, so i said fine. we both lined up at about 70 mph or so and he waited for me, so i droped it to 3rd and took off, got a little jump on him, before he whooped my ass, and yes i mean whooped, i felt embarrased, it was like me beating a honda civic, i hit about 130 and he was probly at about 150 or 155, damn i was soo ashamed, i didnt know those cars had that kinda power, its funny my dad said he used to have a gto when he was in high school, and i get my ass handed to me by one. he finally slowed down, gave each other a head nod " mexican hello" and went our sperate ways... does anyone know what they are packing ?? or do you think he had mods ??

depends on what you have....gto's have either a 350+hp 5.7 LS1 for 2004, or a 400hp LS2 that is really powerful for 2005/06 same motor in the old c6 vette. you can tell by the exhaust and the hood scoops. if you are almost stock then a stock 6.0 goat would run away from you, but if you got a good amount of mods and he still pulled away, then he had some work done. the 6.0L's i dont think came in yellow tho
Let me clear this up. A stock GTO with the LS2 is rated at 400HP. I must say on the Dyno though they only put down 320 RWHP. I seen this with my own eyes. THe guy went and traded it a month later on new Vett. He may have just had a CAI and tune. You have to remember bro you are starting with a lot less HP to build off of then a GTo dont feel to bad. I just looked I thought I had posted about my GTO kill from SAT night. Will post for you guys..

a gto will run about a half second slower than a cobra in the quarter stock, depending on a driver. they are not slow by any means....dont worry dude...i killed one to 60 and watched him fly by like i was parked...lol

he won last time tho....and in a street race where there is no light to beat him at a near stock gt has no chance against a GTO with a half way competant driver...all they have to do is hit the gas and they pull away. you talking a 260ish hp car vs 400hp.
Beejay as I said they are only 320 to wheels. Foxes where like 225 if you where lucky. If you don't build your fox there is no way to beat a GTO of course. Same with the other stangs. The 05-08 with a driver can give them a run for there money though.
DBLYTN I was going to say that your car looks like mine when mine was al stock. I got 297 RWHP. That Engine looks nice man. Your car looks like a total sleeper. Then you lift up hood and you have that blower. What kind is it by the way? How much RWHP do you have now?

So many variables, exspecially in a street race anything can happen and it usually does. just a couple examples, tire spin, driver, one guy sits in an oil puddle, foul plug,,, ect, ect,,,,,There is a chance I have seen many strange things. There is no such thing as "typical conditions" Always variables in race. I guess if you race on paper you have a point but thats not racing.
