RE: bye bye goat
^^ haha thank you. i think his car has the potential to run faster then mine, but what does the average 6.0 goat run? low 13s? we were at such a low roll that traction was still an issue so even though he wasnt a great driver, give ma baby some credit
she did good.

That's what you'd think, but for some reason the guy that owned my car before me thought it was a good idea to get a chip. Blows my mind. Why get a chip, when you can get a handheld tuner with an uploaded custom tuned for almost the same cost.
Btw, good win. I don't get why everyone is so critical when people win races here. Anytime anyone on this site beats a respectable car there's a bunch of people lining up giving them crap. Chances are 9/10 that your not going to race someone with the exact same skill level as you, so that would mean 90% of the races out there are drivers races. So what's with all of the negativity? Give the guy the credit he is due, and leave your gay azz ehhh it's the driver comments to yourself. OF COURSE IT'S THE DRIVER! DON'T RAIN ON THE GUYS PARADE!

Good run, you seem to have a strong ride.
And Ripped Camel, it is possible to have a custom burned chip, either mail order or dyno tuned, so you may have a worth while mod. Do you know ifit is a generic chip or what? Pull it out and see if it feels any different. Also what gas kinda gas are you running?Depending on the chip higher octane gas may be needed to extract full benefit out of the tune. You need to kind out what kind of chip is first(generic or custom burned), though. Maybe Diablo Sport's website could shed some light on on the subject.

RE: bye bye goat
Mustangs are different when it comes to tuning. They have to haveuse handheld or chip to tune. GTOs, Camaros, Corvettes, Caddys, etc.don't need any of that.Everything can be uploaded/changed directly from theDyno Tuner's computer. It cost me only $300 for my previous Ls1s.Although some GTOowners still use a handheld tuner, there is no chip or piggyback for the GTO, unless you count the POS Jet Chip.[:'(]

wasnt 05 the last year for the gto? i think there was only about 12000 sold for model year 05 so they quit makin em. pretty pathetic me thinks.not surprised though the car just looks so plain like so many other cars out there. at least from the side it ddoes.

production of the GTO stopped in 2006 after the lack of sales. and yes, the goat isn't the prettiest car to look at, but the performance is steller

How many times do we have to say this. It WAS NOT low prodution numbers that killed the GTO. It was a planed 3 year run from the start. It was never intended to be a high numbers car. Think 86/87 G.N. Although this still does not exscuss the fact that they don't run as well as they should IMO.
