GTO vs SS/TC and C6
Well I took the GTO outta storage for a few days under unfortunate circumstances but I got a run last night.
A few of us headed to Foxwoods last night among the group was a SS/TC with a turboback exhaust and a tune. We lined up from 40. Neck and neck in 2nd gear, shifted at 70 and started to move out, by fourth gear ~100 it was 2+ cars. We had a lot of highway I stretched it out to about 130 and by then it had gotten pretty ugly between 7-10 carlenths, once we got up passed 100 I started to run away with it. I was suprised he hung for a gear or so though.
Next was a C6, 2005 auto. We also ran from a 40 roll. This race "seemed" easier than the race vs the SS/TC only because I started moving out on him sooner. He started in gear so there was no downshift but I immediately starting yankin on him. The pull was slow and steady, from 40 to ~140 it was a 4-5 car difference. I'da taken it to 180 or so but street races just don't go that high.

Nice kill man!! I'm glad to see just an exhaust and tune SS/TC can keep up pretty well with an LS2 GTO with LT's and a tune. I test drove an 05 GTO with a 6spd and only 3000 miles on it right before I bought my SS/TC. It was a super sexy car that is very nice and comfortable, but with the mods already done to my 05 GT, I can keep up pretty well myself with LS2 GTO's, unless they're modded and tuned aswell, LOL. So I figured I already had a RWD v8 car that I was modding, I might aswell go for a nice tuner car, that and I have already owned an Ecotec powered car before and loved it.

Why can't it? Hell mine will do it and all I had done was a reflash and a K&N drop in. Now with my catless headers it pulls harder. And he has what a 6 litre engine? I have only 3.2 and can do between 180 to 185.

Those mods dont really make you go any faster.... Just make you get to your top speed faster. Imma keep my current statement of your car cannot go 180. not trying to be rude about it either.

Our cars aren't limited by gearing, so any mod that increases hp will definitely increase top speed, even if only by a little bit.
