kill: GTO
I was driving along and an (04?) coupe revs as he passes me. I follow him, pull up along side. We go from a roll (which is good cause my tires suck right now). Gave me a thumbs up through his sun roof for the win. Guy seemed cool.

RE: kill: GTO
havn't dont either yet. My car was 327 rwhp/341 torque with just the supercharger. I've since got x-pipe, catback, densecharger CAI w/ k&n filter, lightning 90mm maf, 42# injectors, 75mm TB, aviator fuel pump and I've thrown waterwetter in the intercooler resovoir since that dyno. Who knows what numbers i'm at now or what i'll be pushing with a good tune. I'm still planning on optimum(mid) length headers, and a pulley swap for another 2lb of boost before the next tune. I am, however, still on 3.27 gears. Those are getting done (3.90)s the day of the tune. Goal is to get into the high-mid 11s in the 1/4 on DRs which would be pretty good for a full weight vert. Don't want a roll bar so I'm not gonna push it below 11.5

RE: kill: GTO
I'm becoming more and more impressed with the GTOs lately. I saw one at a drifting competition this weekend and it really just stomped the competition. Of course it had the IRS swapped out for a posi and some serious weight reduction (not to mention a hell of a wing along, plexiglass aerodymanic bits and some serious brake cooling ducts). Regardless, this guy put all of the foreign cars to shame.

Pretty sure you need a roll bar now. It's 13.99 or faster for verts.
I could be wrong, but I would check.

Cobra verts are faster than that from the factory. There is no way that could be right.
