Me vs American Muscle?
 

i have two buddys who recently got a 2005 cts v with corosa exhaust and intake and another buddy with a stock gto 6.0. They are talking about wanting to race me and things of that nature. I plan on racing them at the local 1/8 dragstrip i know they will probably beat me at the dragstrip due to me spinning but what im wondering is if i will get them from a 40mph or a 60mph roll? I have full bolt ons except catback and i have a mdub 30psi spike tune.

youll take the gto. cant speak about the ctsv never ran one.

You will take both.

yah, both room a roll and you'll be good. THeyll prob both get you in the 1/8th. I've ran both on the interstate.

on the 1/8 you will get slaughter up the ass (sorry).
youll be spinning half way. on a 40 or 60 might be able to get the gto, specially tuned.
cts-v, just let it go bro, dont even bother.

edit: i didnt see you were tuned, you will still lose from an 1/8th,
but you can easily get the gto, but i still dont know about the cts-v

With that tune, Youl rape both from a roll. (Personal experience) avoid the 1/8, unless they are subpar drivers they will 60 foot the hell out pf you.

so your worried about traction and running a 30 spike?? Doesnt make sense! Retune to slowly build boost! 30 spike is dangerous anyway (unless properly cooled which i assume you are)

I ran it for 15k+ miles with 0 issues. All the people who say its bad don't fully understand it. Id only hit 30psi if I did a 30 roll, that is the only time my car hit 30. Everytime else is usually 25-26 psi.

Brian (area47) wouldn't put a tune like that on my car if it was unsafe.

On that tune I've beaten a few other balts, while I had boost leaks on top of it.

That being said if anyone else aside from brian told me to get that tune I would have said no. I originally told brian no but he reassured me and he was correct on how its really not that dangerous.

Fairly certain the CTS-V is the cobalt of the $60,000 bracket. Can beat cars 4x more expensive with minor mods. But if its mostly stock, will be interesting!

i am going to the dragstrip with them and a couple local cobalts and when they do beat me at the strip i will run them from a roll. My new zzp stage 4 clutch wont make me slip like my stock did last week.

Good Luck

the 2005 ctsv only had 400hp and it's heavy as hell should be able to take it from a roll. as for hte GTO i'd say yes looking at what Dart_si has been able to take with a similiar setup.

Keep in mind 2005 CTS-V = LS6, not LSA.

edit: Cobalt Daddy beat me to it

Ls6 < ls2

the guys that im racing are more of motorcycle riders and only drove duramaxx's in the past so i doubt they are that good at driving. I think it will be a good race.

What drag strip are u goin to..

we may go to shadyside in mooresville or maybe the drag strip in wilkesboro

Its going to be close, but the Caddy has a serious weight problem. Still - I'd trade my 'balt for one!

well i went to the dragstrip tonight but didnt get to race neither the gto or the cts v the gto time in the 1/8 was 9.24 @ 81 mph and the cts v time was 9.40 @ 81 mph but the cts v had traction control problems. I ran a 9.50 @ 86 mph with spinning all the way through 1st and 2nd. First time tracking the lnf. I only got 2 runs in because the cts v busted the bell housing cover and they closed the lane he was in down.

we should meet at the track next time

yea man a bunch of locals go almost every thursday night
