imagine that, I thought you'd come up with an argument for why the mustang gt is slightly better. lol.

I'd LOVE to have one race me now!!! LOL!



Quoted FOR THE TRUTH!!

Hell I can count 5 different kills were the MUCH MUCH faster car had a driver that was an idiot and lost. But that does NOT mean my car is faster or can beat them on a regular basis.

1. C6 Z06 running low 13s at BMP last year. I yanked his azz out of the hole due to him spinning, then like an idiot he never lifted off of the gas and ran a HIGH 13!! lol!

Umm with 345 rears I doubt he was spinning. And I doubt your cobalt clone could hang with a z06.

2. 2 different 03/04 cobras with Kenne Bell superchargers both putting down around 550-600 rwhp. Guess what they both ran? 15+ to my 13.1.

15 second KB cobras? Maybe if their supercharger belts were removed before the race. Not a chance
3. BUTCHERED a GT500 on 3 different occasions with nothing more than a 50 shot at the track. Again moron driver in the GT500 on drag radials. The driver was hotlapping his GT500, then spinning hard out of the hole. Once he got traction he'd very slowly fall behind.

Come try my KB GT500. Ill hot lap it all night and destroy your jelly bean car. And pulling away AFTER he hooked? Not happening. The gt500 walks with any traction
Do any of those situations mean that I can beat any of those cars on a regular basis with even an "ok" driver? Hell no! Did I whoop their ass by merely out driving them? Yup and that's exactly what happened with the RT poster - ran into some damn poorly driven GTOs.

Heck the last time I was at the track I was watching a 06 GTO turn in 14.0-14.1 when I ran everything from 12.89-13.19 in +2000DA conditions at BMP

I call

Agreed, seems a bit far fetched ESPECIALLY for an 04 LS1 GTO with few or no mods.

the gt and the 392 will be close but i think the 392 will edge it out.

I have to agree.

I haven't heard any rumours about the 6.1 being under rated either so whatever it was that let it keep up is still going to be there with the new 6.4L engine.

As for the 5.0, wasn't there some inconsistency in the magazine testing? Where some were getting 12.7ish times while others were up around 13.2?

This is VERY accurate!!

There was a 05/06 GTO running at my track, automatic transmission with an intake and couldnt break 13.7's when I was running 13.4's with just a intake on street tires.

Its quite often the man, not the machine.

Really people, some egos seem to get in the way of reality. Yes, I've beaten several 200x GTO's. It'll take a stock SS as well. And the only mods are a CAI, tune and catbacks. The RT isn't the big sissy some people here think it is. Nuff said.

I hope they changed the interior... I swear I would buy one of these for my wife if they just were not that horrid dodge interior. Its the cheapest looking crap I have seen in a car. What a waste, its such a cool ride otherwise.

12.44 @ 110 was the best of only 2 attempts.

VERY PROMISING considering this was the only run recorded so far. Low 12's are definitely not out of the question stock.

Glad to see you spreading good info my ls1 tech buddy! lol

I beleive you. I bet you also have beaten C6 Vette`s and if you have run across a 2011 mustang gt as well. There are some bad stick shift drivers out there. I`ve seen z06`s that can`t get out of the 12`s. The 04 GTO auto was slow, and a 2010 SS auto needing the fuse pull is dog slow. I have beaten many cars faster than mine over the years.

You realize an R/T with those mods are easily capable of 12s.....

All things equal his car would be slightly faster than a stock L99 SS and slightly slower than a stock LS3 SS. (all things equal with equal driving of course)

So his statement is somewhat false in stating his car is faster than an SS...
