I jumped on an 04 GTO today
 

:eek: Didn't realize wht it was when I pulled up beside this dude at a stoplight. Light went green and i take off. Well I hear this dude coming up beside me and I went ahead and nailed the chit of it. I slam 2nd gear and the tires let loose, dude beside me hit 2nd and i hear his tires squealing. He still a car length behind me probably could read my chrome letters (lol). Well i slammmed 3rd and he finally pulled even with me. I had to let off cause traffic was coming up fast. He went past me and then he too had to slow down. Thats when I saw it was a GTO. That's a 5.7 LS1 motor rated at about 350 HP. I think he was having trouble shifting, I heard long pauses between his shifts. Anyway I think my 04 GT did pretty dam good He was looking at my rear for at least 3 gears. :D Oh BTW that GTO sounded f***in great. :)

Street racing is illegal :)

Yea he probably dident know how to drive that well but still thats pretty good... My dad just bought an 05 6.0 and its fast as hell :eek: and sounds awesome. Were putting an slp on in a couple weeks though, i cant wait to hear it

I thought the GTO's were 400hp?

I dunno. They are not nearly as fast as they should be with the engine they have.
GTslOw

05 gto is 400 hp. 04 gto is 350 hp, 365 torque. I looked it up on www.new-cars.com

Well. I stand corrected. You still smell like cabbage though. So ha.
:D

I cant believe they are putting 400hp into a re-designed Grand Am.

hahaha ya..but we still do it...If I had a dime for ever time someone screwed with me I would be rich..Thats if I took the bait every single time...ok ok maybe 1 and 5 I will go at it, on any given day..depends on what part of town its in. :D

Actually the GTO doesn't even look as good as a grand am. The one I (didn't race but just sped beside) was silver and not eye catching in no uncertain terms. I actually though it was like a honda or sompin; :o

Plus I will have 350 HP soon enough. Mustangs are a better car IMHO. I actually think if I had of stayed in it after 3rd gear he may not have gone by me.. It took him long enough plus I had to lay off. I call it a win for the Stang. YEEEHAW :D

I think they should have put that motor and tranny in a Grand Prix and left the price way under the 32 G sticker for that ugly ass car. Geez he coulda got an 04 Cobra for 32 large. :)

And BTW www.new-cars.com is a great site for looking at car specs. Check out the stangs :D

350hp vs 260hp.. thats pretty good numbers for that GTO man, I wish they would put 350hp, 400hp blocks on new stock GTs, it would really make them better for competings with corvettes and other high powered cars

No doubt about that. Mustangs would own the street. I guess if you add that HP you have to add that high dollar too. I mean dam, A Mustang GT should have a bare minimum of 350 HP factory stock.. IMHO.

Wont happen unless a price comparable camaro comes out, and even then probably not. The majority of mustangs sales have been V6s. Ford sold over twice as many mustangs as camaros/firebirds combined for quite some time, even when the Fbodies had 300hp and the Mustang GT had 225 or whatever.

Ford doesnt have to put that much engine in a base model GT because they sell them anyway. Plus it wouldnt leave as much room for higher priced versions that would most likely carry a larger profit.

He would of murdered you had he known how to drive. It is a heavy car but it has the horsepower to back it up. he also has the cobra / viper / cts-v trans which is the t56.

The last time I was at the track they had had a 05 with the dealer sticker still on the window, and he was running 13.1's with tractions issues. They aren't the greatest looking car in the world, but they will still hold there own. The interior is really nice though.

The 04 is a LS1/5.7 litre. The 05 is the LS2/6.0 litre.

Either way there pretty bad ass.

CHECK THESE OUT.

mustang..................-> :D :D :D <-

Actually, the 05 stangs are underrated at 300 hp, probably closer to 320

i killed a 04 and 05 gto when i was in california. in california i was only puttin down 350 to the wheels and those things still couldnt keep up. the 05 still had paper plates. thats all i noticed on both the cars i dont care for them too much.

I drove a 04. The interior is nice. Other than that, it wasn't very exciting.
