Pontiac GTO is 3725 pounds. Only a couple hundred pounds
more than the MGT.
That 50+ year old driver must of been shiftin as slow
as he possibly could.
The 05 GTO traps about 4-5 mph faster than the 05 MGT.
That about the same difference as there is between an 05 Mustang GT
and the 04 Mustang GT.
He should of walked on by you.

A higher trap speed doesnt necessarily mean faster in a measured distance. I dragged my 93LX plenty of times, running 12.05 at 113 and the guy next to me ran a 12.01 at 117.....I still won, crossed the line first...he was coming on strong but I beat him to the mark. Thats how this race went.....he hit the 3rd honk, I dropped the hammer...got the jump on him, I know I was in second before he was because I heard him hit second after me. When I initially jumped i put a half a car length on him, then in second I added another half a length on him, maybe a little more. I shifted into 3rd and it stayed like that and I shifted into 4th at approx 5500ish....now he may have been creeping on me but when the 100mph mark hit, I was still there by my approx car length.

Um, if you ran a 12.05 @ 113 and the other guy ran a 12.01 @ 117 he won.
You might of crossed the finish line first, but that just means he left the line
(had slower reaction time) later than you. It only matters who crosses
first in a "heads up" race that takes R/T into equation of your time as well.
He could of sat there until you crossed the 1/8th mile and THEN went and
if he posts a faster time, he wins.
Also, the race described with the GTO wasn't a "measured distance" race.
It was a SPEED race from a 20 mph roll.
In those circumstances TRAP speed DOES show your power and
having a higher trap speed means you will pull on a car with
a slower trap speed.
From a 20 mph roll (with equal drivers) an 05/06 GTO manual will pull away
from an 05/06 MGT.

RE: Kills
a 94-98 GT was my latest one, it was pretty bad for him, i decided to get off the gas in second gear and call it a day, cuz he was already 2 car lenghts back. and i didnt even lauch and he did, i just slid into first gear like normal. but other then that, i havent raced anyone for months.
