so, this morning i raced a black GTO with a vanity plate saying "PERKINS", i drive a 1992 6/4 DSM. he had a nice launch, i did a nice easy one. i short shifted 2nd @ like 5000 rpm's, and besides the 1/4 car jump he got at the launch, we were side by side. 3rd and 4th were the shit cause i was pulling hard and he knew it and gave up. i hope i get another chance to run him cause with a real AWD launch he has no chance.

Nice run!
But you should have went all out, especially since your AWD.

i may be racing a guy that owns a new GTO when i get back to america. when i was down in december he was talking shit about how his 400 hp could not be beat... Don't get me wrong, he is a nice guy but he definitely needs a reality check on that car...
and hopefully i will have my AWD by then... (if not i will just have to put a clutch, flywheel and LSD in my FWD and smoke him anyway.)
btw, he is an auto. (although on the GTO maybe this is better for drag racing?)

So your running with the 16G? what type of EMS do you have if any. also do you know if this guy had the 6.0 or 5.7?
The 05-06 LS2 GTO's are hampered by excessive torque managment in the ECU program, the A4's especially and also they pull timing bad if air inlet temp is above 85~. They *should* out of the box be a lot faster than 04 LS1 but they are not unless you get a tune.

my friend raced one in my car 2 weekends ago, we barely pulled ahead of him from a 40mph roll.
my mods are 50 trim with supporting mods, except on stock exhuast, stock cat, and 13-14lbs of boost, running rich as hell(using the same tune i had for 19 psi)

yeah, either 2.5 or 3" test pipe and 3" cat-back and you would have clearly taken him. im assuming you also have upgraded or dp and O2 as well. sounds like a great sleeper though!

Haha for real man, but nice kill. My buddy has one, there not a slouch at all for stock. Just a bit heavy. I still think there better overall than the new charger.pats95gst said:

I raced a guy in town with a supercharged GTO. I don't remember the year, I just know if was the older one with 350 hp before the s/c. It had fmic/s/c/exhuast. Dyno'd at 475 hp. I launched hard, around 5000 to 5500 rpms. He didn't have a chance of the line. His car couldn't get any traction. I had a good 6-7 car lengths before I let off around the middle of third. From a 40 mph roll...whole nother story. He jumped a good car length and kept pulling untill traffic came up.
I was running at around 15 psi on the 14b with EVO III Manifold, 3" DP, 3" exhuast (no cat), 2 1/2" o2 housing with dump, fmic, 2 1/2 ic pipes, and some other little things I can't remember.
