05 Red Goat

[stevenm357]

I just got my GTO and I love it. It is WAY more comfortable than the bird. I still wouldnt trade my WS-6 for anything though.

amen to that, there is just something about the smooth sexy lines, and that strong visceral feel of power they give you.

went to the track, hit a 13.02 @ 106 with a 2.05 sec 60' time... even with the DR's... rofl. So running even with that goat was about right it sounds like. If he could launch that thing he'd of had me by a few tenths at the track. But if I could launch it would only be 1-2.

Good run. I just recently went, ran 12.1-3 consistently tranpping 111-113 (WS6) I need suspension though. I ran an 11.92 when it was 40 degrees out

well in defense of most cars out there. yes bikes are fast as hell in many cases. the ones from about 02 and up but older aren't THAT fast. not to mention the biker has to know how to drive too.

Mean that you'd put the stomp on a bike but not let him walk on you bad is a whole other story...

All i need is time and money

10.02@127mph was my best on my old race preped carbed 96 gsxr 750......it was a hell of a handfull. at 130lbs it took all of me hanging over the frontend to keep it on two wheels......1980 ford fairmont ruined all my fun, totalled the bike and my left knee.
one day I dream of getting my goat to be that fast

I'm very sorry to hear about that, the biggest reason I don't have a motorcycle, I wrecked a dirt bike pretty good. and some jack ass in a camaro spun out in front of me .... with his pregnant girlfriend in the car and drinking a beer......

yeah there are a-holes everywhere that seem to be out to get you when you jump on a bike.
good thing is I got a 3 month vacation, then got a new job (the job I still have) that gets me back home every day and pays more, plus my screwed up hours let me meet the woman I plan on spending the rest of my life with
so I still ride and still have one good knee lol

I decided that riding wasn't worth the risk, sold the bike saved some money and bought my trans am. I still miss my bike at times. but i greatly enjoy the trans am.

sounds like your wreck turned out to be not as bad as many I've seen. Where are more pics of the GTO just the hood pick looks bad assed

There are idiots everywhere on the road. That is why I am scared to get a bike... I have seen some nasty crashes at work too.

hah ironic-first "fast" car I ever drove was an '02 WS6 at a dealer, going on a fake test drive. I've always wanted a 'bird and have been looking over and over, every few months and end up buying a GTO. I really like the look of a clean black WS6 with the sport appearance package....or whatever one gave them the double-dual tips stock. siiick

They both seem to be stock, the GTO pulls a bit at top.

I've owned several F-bodys and an 05 GTO. Looking back at time slips the 1/8 was a very slight edge to the GTO in most races, but the GTO would trap about 1-2 mph higher. The 1/4 was a different story, my GTO would consistantly run 13.1's at 109. I really don't have many stock F- bady passes to look at, but with just a lid or a lid and a catback, the F-body was about 2-4 tenths slower and 2-3 mph slower.

The best I ever did with my GTO was 12.895 at 109. My latest 02 Z28 has a best of 12.79 at 108.47. I have a lid, FRAM, Magnaflow cat-back, Diablosport Predator tune and DR's.

you better be mr. lous quality if you dont want todays modern 600 superbikes to throw a beatdown on you in the 1/4.
