We raced 3 times.
First Run: 25 mph Roll, 1st Gear T/C off on both cars
I honked it off and both cars were dead nuts even until the end of 2nd (in the Camaro) then the GTO sloooowwwwwwwwwlllllyyy pulled away. By the end of 4th I backed out with the GTO about 1 to 1.5 cars in front
Second Run: 25 mph Roll, 1st Gear T/C Enabled on both
The GTO honked the start. This time I pulled out by about 1/2 a car. Once Again the GTO started slowly pulling by mid 3rd gear. By the top of 4th both cars were too close to tell
Third Run: DIG No T/C
I honked it off and had the GTO by maybe a fender. Stayed this way, until the mid 3rd gear range, in which the GTO started to creep up on me. By the top of 4th the GTO had me by about a car. (A Geo Prism length car I Guess, LOL) <- 06x6spdGTO I like your analogies, too bad others didnt understand them!!!
So there is your answer, I admit it was fun close racing!!!
BTW I'm about 6'4" 210lbs, GTO driver is about 5'10" 180lbs
And just to clear the area not all 5th Gen owners are as pig headed as some of these posting. The GTO was the only 4 passenger sports car for GM from 04-06 and they are a real treat to ride in, let alone see!
The body lines my not be as aggressive as the 5th Gen Camaro's but the have a unique style of there own, the kind only a real muscle car enthusiasts could enjoy! <-Black5thGen I hope you read this.

Im not sure this is gonna be believable here on this site. Sounds like it was a squeaker of a run.
