There was a yellow 05 GTO running at Shadyside in Shelby, NC last night. I thought, just my luck my 03 is in the body shop after I was t-boned in a parking lot. I met an 03 Cobra owner a couple of weeks ago and since I have a rental car I took my ET Streets down so he could try them out. The GTO ran a pile of passes running between 9.2 to 9.5's and the highest trap I saw was 78. He was on street tires. It looks like they were 245's. You would think since GM was putting 275's on LS1 F-Bodies they would have put them on the GTO. On one pass he had serious wheelhop even when he hit second. Shadyside is the fastest track I have ever ran. I ain't going to judge the car by what the guy was running but a 78 trap is not a good showing. I wouldn't even bother lining up with him. It was ricer heaven last night. I bet the message boards are buzzing on Ricer.net about 05 GTO kills at the track. There was a light sprinkle and after it quit the track announcer asked for slower cars to run and he aksed the imports to make a few passes. They tried to see who could make the most impressive burnout just before they ran 10's. Really pathetic. They are only impressing themselves.
There was also an SS hauled in on a trailer that was spraying and was running 7.3x's at 99 plus. He was ****y as hell. There were a lot of people that really thought he was fast. I was going to talk to him but I didn't get a chance to see what mods he was running. I sure would have liked to have lined the 03 up on him. On his third and final pass something gave in the drivetrain and they pushed it off the track and loaded it up. I think his rear end popped. I'll have to catch up with him in a few weeks.
Finally, a brand new 05 GT showed up with temporary tags. He ran a riced out Honda and lost running 9.2 to the 8.8 for the Honda. I'm sure that turd is bragging it up on the net. I ran into an 05 GT owner on Monday when I was trying to get the information from the guy that hit me so I could get it to the body shop. I stopped at a store and this guy was looking at it. I saw this black GT vert sitting out in the parking lot. He told me that hurt referring to my damage. I started talking to him about his vert and was was telling me how fast it was and that it was making 300 HP. He was really bragging about it. Then he asked me about my 03 and I told him I was over 720 at the crank. I didn't think he believed me and then he acted like he was in a hurry. He sure acted like he had plenty of time when he was telling me how bad his 05 was.
