im just cruisin along hawthorne blvd in torrance going home and this new gto gets on my *** and then takes off and i was like what was that? lol so i mash out and catch him and we start running down hawthorne, which is not the brightest idea by far because its cop central but thats alright. we bob and weave through the traffic and finally end up at a light both in the front! YES! seperated by a vw bus and a new mustang gt behind me with exhaust i wait for the stoplight christmas tree. rev to 3k and wait. light turns green and were off! seriously the best launch i ever did, no wheel hop just pure grip!!!!! i beat him through first and second and in 3rd he started to pull on me pretty good. but then 4th came around and it was bye-bye gto. i couldnt beleive how much i pulled on him at this point it was incredible! we get stuck behind some traffic for a bit and then hit some twisties up in palos verdes and i must say this guy was a good driver but still could keep up with the fd! he was a cool as guy though from the uk. he knew all about the fd and asked if i turned up the boost, when i told him no he was shocked. it was good times had by all!

until next time...

im sure it is. its american lol

jhammons01

Dude, I won't get into any name calling match wit ya. But I just find it hard to believe you pulled a 400 RWHP "Holden" made GTO. And yes a bit heavy at 3750 lbs yet still outperformed the Mustang and BMW in a heads up comp.

Rtry-turboII

uhhh the Mustang shouldn't even be put in the same class as the GTO quite honestly, and which BMW are we talking about? the 330ci?

jhammons01

hey, I didn't class em up. But wouldn't a 350 hp, 330 hp and 400 hp 2 door coupe be somewhere close to the same class?

jhammons01

oh wait....I get it.....I committed Blaspheme in the West section

Sorry

teh 7 can't loose!!!!!

no ****!! Cracks me up as well. "no way a blah blah can beat my rex!!!"

Seems to me that the general consensus is that the 7 is NOT the best for drag racing.

jhammons01

Despite the Glaring facts I almost fell off the wagon.

FD FTW!

That new GTO is a pig that couldn't beat my '89 vert with an Auto tranny!!

Teh 7 can't loose!

maybe the GTO gave him a little head start not realizing how good the FD is closer to top end? he should have pulled you through 1st at least.

I would take a LS2 gto in a second..........add whipple charger and your at almost 700 RWHP in the form of a tank. I personally had a hard on for the 35th anniversary edition Camaro SS. Red with checker flags...... Bad *** ride, But I am Camaro biased.

jhammons01

Now you've done it. You are "teh banned" till the day when you can denounce your love for anything other than a 7..............

DAMNIT. At least it isnt a ford. But wait, there is that '29 roadster........but it has a chevy motor. To be hounest rotaries are one of the very few imports I am into. I hate FWD anything, seems like a waste. But tell me honestly if this ride isnt pure asskicking fun!!?

swbooking

Damn! Hawthorne Blvd! that IS cop central, that was a tight story... POS american. and jhammonos01 is right, the 7 cant lose, and thats the way it is...

DJDINO

I just wanna say 'nice kill'! I like the 'stop light christmas tree' part teh best!

BoostedRex

swbooking, I hope that your post was meant to be funny because otherwise you just earned the "I'm the biggest dipshit in the West Section" award for the month!! POS American? I don't like the GTO, but I recognize that it is a fast car that would beat out a bone stock FD in a striaght up drag.

And like always, keep your racing on the track!! The street is no place to pulling stunts like that, that's how innocent kids end up dieing!

STREETRACING.............LOL. I dont even bother to show up unless the cars are in the tens. More like light to light fun IMO. Street racers I know dont **** around with imports. I have yet to see one that would have half a chance. I am building a streetracer toy, if anybody want to mess around in a couple of months.

i just posted my experience last night and it was in good fun. i never said the 7 cant lose thats a crock a ****. maybe he wasnt gunning it at first at the light how the hell do i know but i know in the higher end i handed him his ***. i honestly am not much for drag racing which is why i sold my 69 camaro( i also cracked the engine though) and bought a fd which i am now setting up for road racing. and yes the camaro was much faster but i wanted a better starting point for a road car. plus the gto was the guys daily driver, my fd is not. if it was it probably would be broken already lol. advantage gto all the way.
