05 GTO was fast but...............
As I was exiting the freeway, a dark GTO pulled in behind me. I was the first car in my lane, making a left turn. I made the turn and waited at about 35 mph. He started to go by, so I accelerated to about 45 to get even, then we both hit it at the same time. I pulled couple of feet on him at the end of 2nd, but I shifted a little late, and didn't gain any ground for a moment. Once in 3rd, I pulled to almost 1/2 a car length before having to slow down for a stoplight. I'm all smiles as he pulls up next to me at the light. He's shocked, and says "what have you done to that thing???". I reply "just a few little things, nothing big. How long have you had the GTO?". Almost 3 years." I ask, "is it stock?". "No. I have an exhaust and air filters". The light changed, and we were off at normal speeds.
Nice guy:). I haven't had a race in a while, so it really felt good to have beaten a fast car ........ with some mods :D |
Nice kill. '05's were LS1 5.7's with something like 350hp (crank). I've driven an '06 model with the LS2 6.0 rated at 400hp, and I was pretty damn impressed. Those suckers move for their weight.

400 stock, imagine intake, cam and exhaust which are pennies on a dollar. Wow... I fucking love those cars. |
