GTFOH with that!

1) Not the best place to talk about this stuff...wait till the other guys come with their torches. 2) Were you racing an old school Goat or the new ones? 3) Who were you racing? A young kid or an old guy?

yeah, that 6.0 GTO has about 400hp. Either he wasn't trying or it wasn't running right.

400hp GTO weighs 3,725 LBS = 9.3 LBS per HP

280hp G35 weighs 3,407 LBS = 12.2 LBS per HP

This means that your G35 would need to have 366.34 HP in order to tie a GTO.

Well whatever you guys say but i really have no reason to lie on a forum site lol. When we raced from 45 to 120 im telling you i had 2-3 car lenghts on him. If he was fully getting on it or not i dont know but why you would race someone to 120 MPH and lose just seems funny to me. But yea the GTO is badass but maybe its not all its made out to be lol. And it was a younger guys probably between 25-30 years old.

c ya.

GM cars are great off the line...but going 45 the GTO either lost traction downshifting, or the guy shifted in the wrong gear. Those cars don't like to do much over 120...
