Anyone who's raced knows that a bad driver can make a low 13 sec car a mid 14 second car or worse if they don't know what they are doing.

Amen to that. I've seen guys with 03/04 Cobras run a full half a second slower than what I was running. I know that's not right.

I seemingly hear all the time about GTO's/Camaro's/ or even Mach 1's running high 12's to about 13.1 or so with BONE STOCK down to the stock rubber. It's hard to believe. 13.3 or so, I can see that happening.

I hate like hell to paper race LOL but it's all I can do in this situation because we don't have any GTOs in Canada so I have never actually seen one run.

That being said, from what I have read and heard from people who onw them, stock VS. stock, the LS2 GTO should beat our GTs........but like I said, I have never even seen one run.

I do understand that they have a hard time hooking up though.

Thats not the point. I happen to have a 12.98 slip for the car myself. Did it take awhile? Of course. But you guys said they were 14 second cars. I realize not all of you said that. I was just giving you info. Someone questioned, if 12's can happen. The answer is yes.

And really, I've had so many arguments about this car, I don't care to do it again.

GTO must be one of the ugliest things I have seen. I was wondering how we would run against them, but I never see one around to race.


i take the 05/06 ones by 5-6 car lengths at the track in the several times i've run against them. they trap 2-5mph less than me depending on my mods at the time. im full bolt-on but stock exhaust btw.

I have a C6 wth the LS2. Let me tell you , that car can scare the pi$$ out of me sometimes. But LS2 engines are very sensitve to heat soak, just tooling around town in the middle of summer and those things pull timing like crazy. They will dyno 345 to the wheels cool and about 315-320 hot. Now, take that and put it into the heavy GTO with one of the worst shifters around and its a drivers race. I have not experienced this heat soak to that degree on my GT. This mustang is also MUCH easier to launch than the GTO and my vette. So light to light is the mustangs field vs the GTO. I just wish the rev limiter was higher, I keep hitting it when I get excited.

thats cool man, no arguing here. . .

im just saying that not many "experienced" drag racers drive those cars. . .

and when that happens. . . even when your car should be faster, better driver can take his few tenths slower car and beat them. . .

thats all im sayin, and im sure most everyone here is saying.

When you go to a test and tune night...How many "experienced" drag racers do you see? It's mostly the average joe blow that just wants to see what his car runs and has fun with it. Thats perfectly fine, thats what those nights are for. I just find it funny that a lot of people on the forums see a time for a car, regardless of what it is and think thats what they all run. Then you get the "My Mustang will kill it." Of couse it will.

I'm not trying to be "that guy" as I do have a fox body, and had a couple of other stangs. But some of these guys need to learn how to give credit where credit is due...Don't ya think?

definately,

I know what a car is capable of just from power to weight ratio. . . i don't have to see someone drive'em. . . :-)

i know that the average for "decent drivers" in these cars at the track is prolly a 13.2 or 13.3, and im sure you ran a few of those . . .

I've actually got about 20 slips that range from 12.98 to I think 16.50. Most of the time, I can get it to hook off the line, then when it hits second it frys the tires. If I'm lucky enough to hook it back up in a reasonable amount of time, it just does it again into 3rd. It's pretty hopeless without drag radials.

wow. . . sounds like a lot of power lost . . .

if i don't spin bad in first. . . i don't have to worry at all about traction . . . it just hooks. . .

i guess the weight shift, solid rear axel, and excellent suspension help out a bit. . . :-)

sounds like Pontiac is all about the power, just forgot about puttin' it to the ground . . . ;-)
