Just curious, I have a 99 Ws6 with full bolt on's and a 12 bolt with 373's and an A4 with 3200 stall and shift kit and wanna know how I would stand against mmy freinds 05 GTO all stock. I also have a 150 shot but im not planning on using it...

dude, you'll fucking kill him.

i have a M6 ws.6 and i blew away an 05 GTO M6 from a dig...i think he forgot to turn off his TCS though. Both were pretty much stock. you're literally gonna destroy him.

I saw this when I was home and then I got stationed up here in Delaware and Met/hang out with the GTO owner, he has a shop and = excellent deal on repairs/upgrades. :) He is going to try and break into the 12's with stock 05 GTO. His best is like a 13.1 in the 1/4. Haven't met the WS6 owner but I've seen him around base. I want to run the GTO but I know it wont be much of a contest. :usa:

I thought those GTO's came fast as vetts? maybe i was misinformed
so a TA should be able to get with a gto too? cuz a ws6 is only like 15-20 hp more then a TA right¿

Right, you'll have nothing to worry about, I've got a 98 Z-28 A4 and killed a M6 05 from a slow roll. They run strong but not strong enough, I don't know why either

weight...independant rear(from a dig)...bad driver maybe

could be, I test drove one and wasn't that impressed. The car just feels completely different than an f-body and it was heavy, you can definately feel that

Some bad info in this thread. Just lemme say, the LS2 hauls ass from a roll on, the IRS is a fucking bitch to launch tho. I learned first hand after losing to my buddy's wrx, but after walking him from a roll on by about 4 cars.

My buddy has a 2000 ws-6 with a 3000 convertor, exhaust and a lid. He raced our buddies 05 GTO and the GTO beat him by almost 1 car. I was racing right next to them and no there wasn't tire smoke both on et streets and yes they both could shift. The GTO was a 6 speed and obviously the ws6 was auto. The GTO is a bad a** car. It is BONE stock and ran a 12.60 at BMP in Bradenton, FL. So that is a witnessed race, hell he even beat my bone stock firehawk!

You will kill the GTO! I have an 02 SS and raced an 05 GTO and beat him by a car. I'm pretty sure you will smoke the shit out of the GTO!

i agree 05 gtos are overated.....i beat one from an 80mph roll by like a few cars w/ a 310rwhp mach1 i dunno if it was auto or manual though

I went form an 01 ss A4 to a M6 05 GTO and while it's true that the GTO is a bitch to launch, the GTO would have beat the ever loving sh*% out of my SS from a roll.

There is a 4-way stop just down from where I live with a small bridge about a 1/4 mile away. From a stop I'd see how fast I could get my ss to by the time I hit bridge. In 4 years of ownership 103-105 was the best I could do. I've had my GTO for 5 months and it does 110-112 to the bridge.

Yes if you race a GTO from a dig you'd stand a better chance of winning, unless the GTO is auto or the driver is good. But from a roll, I'd have to see it to believe it.

To the original poster, yes, with those mods, you'll win. I agree with Doc, not good info on this thread.You guys must be encountering bad drivers in these GTO's. Stock LS2 6-speeds are mean. Look up ls1gto.com and look at the times of stock 6-speeds. There's one, for instance that goes by the name lord vador, who runs 12.8@109.87 with just drag radials-no mods. He removed the screen on the maf sensor and cut off the mufflers, but it did nothing for power, and he proved it. Sorry, but I've never seen stock f-body's trap ~110mph! The power is there, they just need a good driver. As far as automatics, there's too much torque management from the factory. With a basic tune, A4's are running 12's. There's a video of that 12.8@109.87 over at ls1gto.com in the multimedia section for the non believers. :)

Well I just raced him twice today.. The GTO is no joke, it is a fast fu**in car. First run I had a ton of wheel spin and had to play catch up. I caught up to him and we were side by side up to about 80 and I could not seem to pull on him any harder. Second race he had the wheel spin problem and I had a nice launch and jumped about 2 cars on him and just pulled away very slowly.. He is all stock and starting his mods next week. I cant wait to see what times he throws down.

GTOs are heavy so you'll have to get the jump to beat 'em just like you saw.

Sounds like the races were fun. Just curious, is this GTO an A4 or M6? :)
