Beat up on a GTO today!

[07Sport]

Yeah, about what I wouldve expected. We are fast for a pickup, but GTOs are pretty mean cars...how do I know...



and thats just the LS1, 350hp version. If you see split pipes, be afraid...cause its packing an LS2 400hp.

also, dont underestimate the Mustang GTs, even the old styles would run 14 flat with 260hp. The newer 300hp versions are high 13s w/ a decent driver. How do I know...

It's sooooo much fun to drive



It's a 2006 with the infamous 400hp/400tq LS2.

Here's my old baby, 07 Black Z06 and my C6 Convertable before that.

Well GM cut the GTO along with the Cobolt SS. Cost cutting measures are a B!tch when you don't know how to manage a companies finances.

Nothing like beating these muscle cars on a road course with a MINI.....talk about how pissy they get.

There have been rumors GM will bring the GTO back in the next couple of years. Hopefully they will because there are WAY too many Mustangs on the road these days.

I learned my lesson today, don't mess with GTOs.....at least until I get the supercharger

Word of advice, don't mess with General Motors LS engines, they are stout especially in a sport modeled vehicle. My LS1 is in a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 Ram Air.

GM had to move out all the sales threats to its new platform Camaro.So the Goats are out to pasture for a while.

You never know what the vehicle next to you is packing under the hood. Though this truck has plenty of power I would not expect to win many races against sports cars. Hell, my 2003 Dodge Cummins put down 451rwhp and 789 rwtq with just a chip and intake! I have a 94 firebird as my "hobby car" and just looking at it and hearing it idle you would not be able to tell theres a 600+hp motor under the hood. It also helps that the race weight of the car is 3100 lbs The look I get when that turbo spools up is priceless. sounds like a F-16

I had a GTO it was the worst experience that I ever had sure it was fast, but besides that it was a piece of crap I love my Tundra much more it's a great truck, and it's fast.

[hit_em]

put a tonne in the trunk of a gto and a tonne in the back of a tundra and see who wins!

What was wrong with it?

[07Sport]

I had the exact opposite experience with my GTO. Build quality was OUTSTANDING, great fit/finish, fast. Little boring looking Ill admit, but so were the original GTOs. All in all no complaints, but at the time, needed a truck again.
