Why do GTO's not want to race me?? (or not want to race you?)

yeah but lets be honest most ppl driving our cars are kids who can't launch or drive worth ****. and i was just saying stock for stock rwd typically are better

if u wanna use that logic...a lot of the gto owners are kids who cant drive for **** either. it can go both ways. the days of one drivetrain setup being better than another is slowly coming to an end, at least imo. tho, ill readily admit id rather have a rwd srt4 than a fwd....no, check that, id rather have awd then both of the other ones

I've gone to a few car meets that were not organized (i.e. gathering to race). If I had some punk asking me to race, I'd just look at him as if he were a tool and think to myself, "I'm a little flattered that this idiot thought I had a bad ass enough ride that he wanted to measure his eco-box up against some real muscle, but instead I think I'll just politely decline because I'm at the maturity level where I don't have to prove myself to every Tom, DICK, and Harry. I bet that car's real popular with the young putt-putt and Chuck E Cheese crowd."

e.t's yes no question he is most likely talking about racing one froma roll where his 106 trap might come into play a little more

awd is nice to a point but in the end just is extra weight and it sucks power.

sadly, not everyone wants power. for the general public, i think awd is much better than both fwd and rwd..each has their niche tho and each has there +'s and -'s

sure an ls1 wont turn out a 107 trap every run.. but neither will he

and syp some people are not 19 years old and have day jobs and pay for things
Ls1 GTO can trap that high? Is that just in Pitts because they dont even come close to that
here in AZ.

temp, altitude, track prep, humidity, etc all play a big part in track runs

i agree i would love to be able to run 13's at like 95mph like wrx's do but instead im stuck doing trapping 85 in the 1/8 with only 10 second e.t's

yeah maybe that gto ran in negative da hence the higher trap maybe syp did to who knos

to a point who is faster not top speed honestly where are you going to do 180. but if you roll from 40 to 100 and get pulled on you know you are slower
