5.7 litre GTO automatic
ok so im geting my oil changed today and an automatic 5.7 litre GTO (only 350 crank hp) pulls in and starts talking to me. Im like cool car man, my friends has an 2006 6.0 liter 6 speed, ive driven it and i like it alot. All this guy im talking to has is a catback exhaust. he proceeds to tell me he has walked the new 6.0 litre's and im thinking to myself yeah ok retard, but i dont say it. He sees i have modded my car so he inquires. I tell im exactly what i have: cold air intake, ported s/c by myself, and full vibrant exhaust. I tell im he would prob beat me now but in 2 weeks or so (whenever playswitcars tunes my damn car 
haha) i will have a bigger heat exchanger, 7250 rpm redline and a 2.7 pulley in. I said i would def keep up if not walk him by then. I know i would bc my friend with the 6.0 litre we raced when i had my turbo scion tc and i was making just over 260 whp on only 7 psi (i have dynos) and i would keep up, usually losing by a half car if we both shifted well; we i turned it up to 10.5 psi i though i would easily walk him. so this guy just keeps saying he will crush me and there is no point in racing. im like ok man well lets race when i get my stuff in and he agreed but when i asked to take his number down he said he will just prob see me driving on the road sometime. what do you guys think?

With you're mods, you're looking at 265-270 tops.

gto's arent THAT fast haha. like dont get me wrong, i like them and would prob drive one buts its not my cup of tea personally. to each their own i def. agree but to just call bs on my story is bs in itself. i told my story, take it however you want but there is no reason to call me a liar. you know nothing about my turbo set up on my TURBO tc. its a custom setup not some dumb kit that makes no power. w/e just thought i would post this up.
i know invisible. if you read you will see i said it was a close race when i was at 7 psi making only a lil over 260 whp and i would beat him at 10.5 psi pretty easily. remember, the gto i WILL hopefully be racing has 50 less horsepower too. im personally feeling fairly confident

There is a 5.7 auto GTO at the track here.. he only traps 1mph higher than me in the 1/4 and I only have airbox mod and exhaust. That independent rear end sucks ass at the track too, without mods it is wheel hop galore. They are nice cars though, I've always wanted one ever since they came out. I just wish they weren't so damn heavy.

to slow sho: With a 9.5 comp ratio and a 20g turbo, hydranemesis standalone ecu; yes i did haha. go on youtube and look up turbo tc. i think there may be some dyno's there on tc's on only like 7 psi and some with 10 psi too. you obv. have no idea about anything if you are so positive my story is bs. just go look, the proof is right there. hell go to turbonetics.com and look at their turbo kit for the tc. it makes just under 300 whp at 10 psi even if i can recall correctly. you sir dont have your facts straight. im not making fun of you at all, im just asking you to go look.
