Beating an '05 GTO
Those tools on the LS1GTO forums are in their own little world. I've just developed a new hatred for them. All they do is compliment each other and reassure themselves that the GTO is either faster than "said car" or with a couple mods their car would *** rape "said car".
The 04s weren't as impressive but the 05s are VERY impressive and take mods very well.
They are a good car for the money IMO, I wouldn't race one from a roll unless you're putting down some serious power =p

*(On the track of course)*
I took one on the freeway not too long ago....i passed him twice and he couldnt catch up until i hit some traffic...then he had the ***** to wave at me as he drove by.....so....I passed him again!...I missed my exit but it was worth it.
I couldn't help it... I really couldn't.
I followed the link in this thread (below again) and I'm having some fun w/ the GTO guys. I started nice (sorta) but you can't fault a guy for defending himself, can you?
Anyway, if you're bored my posts start on page 3, #78. I think it's funny but, then again, I kill me... I really do.

My friend has a brand new 2005 GTO and we raced a couple times. We went from a roll on about 50mph 2 times, I walked on him. He was actually suprised how hard I pulled. They are very heavy!
I raced him before I had the DC Mani and Helix 02. So my car should be lil over 350whp or around there.
330whp is all you need to pull them.

. No, it's not overkill. The ability to log everything, adjust timing/fuel, have my check engine light flash if I knock, etc, etc, is the foundation of a strong and well-tuned Evo.

I missed my exit this afternoon...I was in the wife's Sub & I had to rail a guy in an M3, of course I missed my exit but it was well worth it.
Road and Track or Car and Driver did a comparison between a stock STI and the new GTO. If going stright was your aim then the GTO was your car. However if you ever intend to turn. The power plus AWD is the way to go. They said through the slalom (spell?) course the GTO had alot of body roll, "like driving a BIG boat." Go Evo!
