2012 5.0 vs. LS1 GTO
While out, I saw this red 04' GTO with a very loud exhaust rip across me driving all crazy. *Shrug,* it sounded nice, much better than mine. About 20 min later on my way back from an errand (buying more nerf guns) the same guy pulls out from a gas station like a mad man; just crazy pure cockiness. It had an exhaust ending at a single low-hanging, ground-slapping mid muffler. I'm sure it looked like a golf ball underneath. It just so happens we line up at a light. I gently rolled up into it. Light turns green and we roll out and nail it around 20mph. I put a several lengths pretty quickly with lots more pulling on my end left in it before shutting it down for a curve. Next light, same thing; several lengths with lots more pull left in it. This guy is very visibly MAD when he comes back up, won't even look over. According to stanggurl007 he looked just like this:
Third light we roll off normally and I go a bit ways up and he tries to do a flyby on me, I shut it down and start pulling until we caught traffic, guy immediately insanely turns onto the 1st available street for the turn of shame.
Cliffs:
Cocky GTO owner gets shut down several times, does turn of shame. Because Nerf Guns.

There's always some clearance on nerf guns going on. I caught this awesome one for around $20:

Apparently there is a huge community on these things. Mods like crazy.

This picture is an accurate representation of the guys face. I couldn't believe how angry he was or how cocky he was driving- until he got shut down that is.
Nerf guns are just pure win. This is a modded Vulcan.

I think the cherry on top is seeing this fly by you:
I usually keep the magnet away inside the trunk as I don't want it stolen, and my engine can't handle the added horsepower, It's going on my work computer! +1GHz.

Everybody needs a hobby. not everything needs to be a hobby though... hmm....
atleast it sounds more entertaining than stamp/coin collecting.

Good run. I had an automatic 04 GTO for about a year. Had LTs, mid-cat-back exhaust, a tune, intake, and some DRs. I never could faster than 12.8 at 109 in that thing on a 1.85 60'. It was a quick enough I guess (not really), but no match for a tuned 5.0 driven properly, not up top anyway.
