the GT should still beat it in the quarter. 300hp but doesn't have the torque. also weighs more than the 2v gt.

They may be able to beat me in a straight line but once that corner appears I'll be long gone=P

HP isn't everything young grasshopper. As the great Carroll Shelby once said, and I quote, "Horsepower sells cars, Torque wins races". 280 lb.-ft. of torque...impressive for a 6 sure, a GT with bolt on's will stomp all over that thing

Pretty sure it ran a 13.7@102mph stock. Most bolt on 2v's trap between 102-104mph... So it will kill a mild bolt on 2v and hang with a full bolt on one.

my S-Trim is making sure Im able to sleep at night. I am really excited about this new 3.7 engine tho , It will merk the base line camaro and give the Fairlady Z boys some headaches. This will also be my next new car if I can convince myself a coyote is too expensive.
