Hello all. I am a new member and would like to introduce myself. My name is Tom VanKirk and I love cool cars, not hard nosed about any particular type, well maybe rear wheel american types, but can appreciate anything cool and fast. I currently own a yellow 2005 GTO 6.0l 6-speed(hence the Yellowjacket05 username), a 1969 Chevelle 406 small block-turbo 400/stall-4:10 12 bolt rear, and a 1964 Nova with aluminum head 327-4 speed(soon to be 6 speed)-4:11 locker 10bolt. I have owned an 1986 GT, 89 LX 5.0, 89 Thunderbird Supercoupe, 94 LT-1 Caprice, 92 Camaro 5.0 5 speed, 70 and 2 80 corvette's, and several old Nova's and such. I am not a stranger to the dragstrip, but hardly a pro. My chevelle runs mid 13's, my Nova runs 12.8-10mph, hopefully the GTO will turn high 12's if I can launch it. I recently cancelled my order for a new Mustang GT after a 5 month wait and no end in sight and after test driving a 5-speed GT vs a GTO, sorry but heads up they really are not in the same class, quality, comfort, or power. Before you slam me, I found the Mustang to be one hell of a bargain and the best Mustang I've ever seen, absolutely loved it, but the GTO was just one step better in most areas and I fell in love with the raw power.
Thanks!
