Not a fan at all of the way the new GTO looks, but the engine bays look amazing. That is done right. +1 for you guys. I've seen a few heavily modded GTO's running up here in the Motor City, and whew they are fast. I bet its fun to drive. 0_0

How well does the engine hold up to the power? are the internals built? Forged stock?

So the Roots type blower probably has a way better Torque Curve while you have a higher peak WHP? Have you raced? Who is faster?

daaaaamn. Im not exactly hardcore, but It would be fun. I have yet to lose even with 360's and M3's... Though I haven't run a terminator or a blown GTO or anything. farthest my domestic bouts go is my buddies blown GT

Has anyone seen the GTO-R race cars yet? They are dominating gt class racing against M3 and 911's. in the rolex cup! Pontiac is back into racing I guess, that will mean good aftermarket goodies for you guys.

your 100% correct.. we raced from a 30 roll once and he pulled me pretty good.. got a car or so by 90... but i was trying to sell my car and put everything back to stock, and had a super safe i dont care tune.. and was down 30 hp.. made it really slow..

but after all my stuff is done in the next few weeks we will run again.. he is putting new pullies on to.. so we will see he is more of a drag car.. automatic, with a 3200 stall... his car kicks ***.. runs 11.7s all day but since then he did a rear vette pulley swap and is faster now. so i think maybe 11.4 or less.

Do you have a number for your 1/4? I would guess at least in the 11's right?
