Take out those subs lol. Im sure you could as it is, but with the LT's you will easily.

I just ran against one at the local track. He had a better reaction time , I was late . He also had a better 60' , I was spinning the tires bad { m6 + 45 degrees and street tires = no traction }. I caught him by half way thru 2 nd gear and pulled away easily. He was .4 slower than me . He was stock except for exhaust. I am completely stock except for lt, ory and slp exhaust. I would think you should have no problem. I was granny shifting also.

You should have no problem beating him. I beat an 04' goat here in town pretty easily. They weigh a ton.

alright thanks guys

**hutch1999** · 10-11-2007, 01:37 PM

Make sure hes stock, with the right mods the 04' GTOs are fast.

Good race but you should be able to take them

He's probably about 275 lbs heavier than you. Take out the subs and amp, that's gotta be worth a good 50lbs. You have the same engine, a lighter car, and more mods...you should win.

I take those often, Like said though they can be quick, i have seen cammed ones with street tires pull low 12s.

**bgable** · 10-11-2007, 04:48 PM

yah subs are on the way out n headers are on the way in finally found a guy to buy the subs

**clg82** · 10-11-2007, 05:29 PM

correction.....with headers and tune ...you should take him out easily....without a tune..youll be running rich ...thus making you a tad bit slower......

**96Firebirdformula** · 10-11-2007, 05:40 PM

Is GTO m6 or auto??

**35thAnniZ28** · 10-11-2007, 05:45 PM

i remember i went bumper to bumper with a (seems to be stock) m6 04 gto.... and i just installed the headers(no tune)...so i know i would of beat that gto if i hadnt put the headers or if i wouldve gotten the tune...

**01ls1ws6** · 10-11-2007, 05:49 PM

Dude dont even worry about it, my friend has an 05 6.0 those things are slow, they way a ton, i pulled him at least 3 links in a 1/8. But they are monsters over 100 mph, they really shine top end. My friends is an auto and at the time my ws6 was bone stock with 75,xxx, auto also.

**0rion** · 10-11-2007, 11:16 PM

My 04 ran a 13.6 a month ago. It's pretty much stock except for a K&N and torque management reduced.

I raced an ls2 goat and the ls6 cts-v (both 400 hp at least, i didn't know mods) They both pulled a couple cars on me by 140. This was before i had my headers installed.

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-12-2007, 12:16 PM

I have raced both aswell and the caddi is by far faster, it only weighs 3500lbs, with 400hp while the gto is like 3750 with 400hp. Both are badass cars though, and i beat a couple ls2 GTOs by 2-3cars and that caddi had exhaust and i took him by about 1 car or so up to 110.

I'm pretty sure that both cars are around 3700-3800 lbs. maybe the cts-v driver was better than the goat driver??

**2000T/A Guru** · 10-12-2007, 12:44 PM

Yeah they are both around 3800 my bad, but the caddy was faster, he may have been just a better driver. But i have seen better times out of CTS-Vs then i do ls2 GTOs, most i see at the track are stock or just exhaust i have seen stock caddys pull high 12s on street tires and ls2 goats struggle to get out of the 13s.
