^ WOW i am actually agreeing with this guy. You do have a point?.
And "Socalrotor" I might take you on that offer. My 7 will live in the next few weeks. I havent been around cause its out of commision. " I hope @500rwhp will get me @ the 10's?
500 HP= no grip..... and bring cash.....2000 atleast. You can take your pick from a bunch of cars if your serious. there is a 87 GNX that is pretty fast, the black SS(good luck car goes 150+ in the quarter) Valley boys also have the baddest 03 cobra I have seen. Pulls the wheels on launch and screams. If you dont hook, forget it IMO.
thats what she said....

i might dust the cobwebs off my 12a , let me know when your toy is ready
i can understand a couple guys finding an old deserted road and going at it, all good IMO, but when you stick $10-15k+ under the hood, do you really wanna show up to those neon parties and get your **** taken away for impressing the 15 second honda crowd?

I had always thought GTO are slow. Just a couple of months ago, there were like 3 GTO at the Raceway doing low 14s' all day... I think towards the end of the day, one manage a 13.9... But still seeing all three 400HP doing mid 14's to low 14's is slow to me, if you ask...

The best post in this entire thread!! If you want to run for money, go to a damn track. Why risk hitting someone by stander on the street? Even from a purely driver's point of view the track is the way to go. Too many variables on the street like uneven pavement, pot holes, oil spots, cross streets and other cars, people, etc., etc. Just my .02 anyway.
you forget that LA only has 2 tracks. One in palmdale, and the new one in fontana. FTR the streets they run are in commercial areas, no houses/ people/traffic. EMPTY STREETS. Before all the tracks where closed, streetracing wasnt as popular when TI was open. WE HAD A TRACK TO GO TO.
Gotcha. You have to remember, I'm from the southeast and we typically had 1 to 2 tracks within driving distance of wherever you were. It's different out here though. Still trying to get used to Cali.

unless its FWD. Most FWD would love a 14.....
How much fun can it be running the traps at 70 MPH anyway?
Sounds good to me

I need to dial in the 7 in the next few weeks. Your right 500rwhp will be hard to grip. I had 420+ to the wheels and it was hard to grip even with my 2 step and M/T slicks. But than again this was on my warehouse backyard. Not sure if the rears will give out with VHT, or even on a real track. By the way do you guys head out to tracks every weekend? I want to see what i have against..
The 6 liter GTO is not slow. It's about 1/2 a car length slower than the LS2 Vette up to 60mph.
The Vortech Supercharged GTO will hand both of your asscheeks to you on a silver platter.

Just read page one. You'll see I am just being sarcstic based upon the initial reactions I got when giving any credit to the GTO.
Now, get back on the wagon!!!! Teh 7 FTW
