It was a joke, he didn't expect to win, did you not read the thread. He knows as well as the rest of us that the LS1 has been touched by god. I would like to have a TA as well to go with the stang.

I would like to trade my Camaro in for a much better-looking TA but I wouldn't get crap on the trade-in: 92k miles, no leather or power options. I looked at a 42k mile 2002 Trans Am with an auto and leather interior that was the same color as my car (pewter) and the dealer wanted $17,995 for it. I would be lucky to get $10k for mine.

With my mods, I'm faster than the LS1 M6 GTO(intake, tune) through 1st and second. 3rd gear roll we are dead even, 4th gear the LS1 top end gets me every time. The power band of the LS1 is much better than my stangs. If I get caught slightly out of my power band, my friends GTO pulls a car before I get into the sweet spot of my stang... and I can never get it back

For some reason, I thought you had a '99. I was going to say...If someone gave you $10,000 for a '99 with 92K on it, you should take it and run.

But then I got my head out of my *** and read your sig.

An '04 GTO and an '05 GT would actually be a good race. Stock for stock, they should be just about even, give or take a car length. The LS1 GTO weighs about 300 lbs more than the '05 GT. The LS1 GTO weighs about 3,725 lbs compared to 3,450 for the '05 GT.
