Ill find out from one of my Co-workers who has the Red GTO , but im pretty sure he said the black and silver GTO is putting down roughly 800 hp on a twin turbo setup.

steve drives an escalade mostly now...and he once in awhile drops by...

Then it would be a real close race if you ran him. That car is like a rolling brick.

Lol, it looks like they weight 4038 pounds. 1 HP for every 7.34 pounds.

My car is at 1 HP for every 8.25 and my car only has 315.

That means at 354 HP I would have the same power to weight.

Disappointing, that wouldnt even be a run race, heavy *** btch

Justins old motor had what 345 HP and you took that right? So you will have the same or are you shooting for more? I have a stock fuel system so im very limited to that. I haven't touched it yet.... I'm getting really close to just upgrading it though, its a hard choice on a car that needs so much other work. lol

They are... Haven't you seen mine? I have like half the original motor, no interior.... missing half the bolts... cuts back a lot of weight total. I weighed it at the transfer station (they don’t charge anything) I figure there scales might be a little off but it’s in the ball park even at + or - 50 pounds

Looks like FC's are about the same weight as the FD from a thread I just looked at...
