Picture this
So a GXP pulls up next to me today and rolls his window down and says, "Wanna try your luck?" I quickly reply, "I think it's you who would be trying your luck." He looks at me astounded and says, "5.3 baby." I laugh to myself and watch him repeatedly mashing the gas and letting off. We were on the busiest street in town and there were a bunch of cars in front of us otherwise I might have thought twice about it, but I didn't give in to his stupidity. I think it helped me not want to race him because he was such an idiot.
Anyway, I have a question too. I know they're about 300hp, but I don't know their torque #'s or they're 0-60 or quarter mile times. Granted I knew from a dig I'd smoke him, but we'd be too close from a roll that I didn't want to pad his ego if we only raced from 20-50.
Are those still front drive? Just in case I happen upon this guy, I'd be curious to know how badly I'd beat him. Thanks!

you would have destroyed him, assuming he was stock...

5.3 Baby refers to its engine. Its a 5.3 liter v8 putting down 303hp and 223 lbs/torque. Those are the numbers for an '07 off Pontiacs website.

RE: Picture this
I dont care how much power it puts out, its still a family car to me. Some guy was revving one up next to me the other day but he didnt start until I got in the turn lane. After seeing the numbers I'm no longer too worried about losing. The only thing that could lose the race is my lack of skill.
