Gto ?

[joker]

A guy at work just bought a '04 GTO and wants to race to see what his car will do. I was just wondering how you guys think it will turn out and what I can expect.All I have is a shift kit,K-N-N and Diablo programmed.

I wouldnt say u would get toasted. But he will most likely whoop ya. If u race.. dont race for cash.

It wasn't going to be for cash , he just wanted a baseline

I'd say you'll take him. Basically the same engine. The GTO is a pig, my buddy has one, modded a bit, but the thing wieghed in at 3800 and change. The 04's have a bad wheelhop problem, also the IRS chews up more power than our straight axle setup. So chances are that your putting a tiny bit more power to the ground than he is, which combined with you being a bit lighter, means you have a very good chance of winning.

I have this article from some magazine that dynoed both a 6 speed fbody and 6 speed vette of the same years, and the fbody dynoed more than the vette. So just cause he is rated more on paper, doesnt mean he necessaraly has more.

yes i agree you should win, but its a drivers race. Is his car a 6spd or an A4? If the GTO is an auto i'd say you should definately win, but if he has a 6spd it will be closer if he can drive.

I remember reading in motor trend or some magazine back in '04 that they were dissappointed that despite the increase in power that the GTO was a few ticks slower than the 2002 LS1 F-bodys.

If he's stock you should take him. Up top is where my GTO shines. I think you'd have problems at freeway speeds say 60-130 he'd have a better chance but roll racing and dig racing you'll have the edge. Post back up because I'm kinda curious myself how close my GTO will run with a semi-stock f-body. I would never expect to win that race but it'd be close enough that I think it would run with a shitty driver. My f-body would walk my GTO with no problems so I can't really run those 2 for comparison. That and it's hard as hell to drive 2 cars at the same time.

I would think you take him, I went to Firebird Race track in Phx. Az; there was 04 GTO A4 LS1 stock w/K&N Filter and a '06GTO A4 LS2 was told it was stock (did not look under hood), the '04 turned a 13.97 at 100MPH and the '06 turned his best 13.23 @106MPH my best was 13.68 @ 103.5MPH I have a M6.

2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (WS6) 4.9 13.4

2004 Pontiac GTO LS1 5.3 13.8

those are stock times... it will be slightly close but you will win id go for 100 bucks if i were you...

i think you'll own him. The a4 04 fell flat on it's face in 2nd
