raced a gto
Driving to school this morning there is always a guy i see with a red gto and i always wanted to see how i would stack up but never would get the chance to race. Well i got my chance we caught a light today. I forgot to look over to see his badges but it did have dual exhaust yet no hood scoops so i am lead to believe it was a 04 gto. Well we roll out slow i go 50% in first becuas eanything else and traction is no exsistent, he has about a car on me i grab second and break the tires loose till 55 when i regain traction i am inching on him, hit third shut down around 110 and he did not pull on me cept for the launch. The front of my car was at his door creeping up but we shut down cuz of a light then he flew by me and flipped me off guess he was mad he couldn't pull on a cobalt.

haha, A black GTO came flying by me on the highway yesterday. He kept passing on the shoulder and weaving in and out of traffic. I just let him go and sure enough, hes pulled over 2 miles down the road! lol
Good run!
Good run!

2.5 pulley 60#'s hp tuned tranny mounts im thinking 04 gto it had a x pipe and dual exhaust looked like a mangaflow to me. We were even he just took me on the launch and maybe if my first gear was useful i could have done better.

on another note: i have numerous run-ins with the 5.7 and 6.0's and have not been impressed by either, mainly the 5.7's though.

Yeah my friends 6.0 is a slouch....or he just doesnt' know how to drive which he doesnt lol. These young crappy drivers are giving these sweet cars a bad reputation. Give me a GTO and i'll show you what it can and can't do

Try factoring in driver error and such...when it comes down to those, no .5 is NOT much of a difference. Those numbers were done by professionals. Put a normal everyday person in those and see what that .5 difference turns into.
Also by your 1000' time, I don't understand how you're "not impressed" with the 6.0's or 5.7's. Guess you just haven't gone up against one with a driver with a heart beat
