First 10 Second M6 GTO in the USA

[Doc GTO]

Of all the 9 and 10 sec GTOs, all of them are stalled autos. Diff Techniques in Australia had the first 10 second manual GTO at 10.94 but they did it with fats/skinnies, 3.91 gears and weight reduction.

I did it today on a T&T so-so prep. The air was great for drag racing but it was a little cold for the track so we had to baby it out of the hole for the most part.

I'm at the office computer posting this because I just moved into a new place and have no internet yet so replys may be a little slow. These are the stats . . .


60ft____1.762
330ft___4.740
1/8_____7.149
1/8mph_102.14mph
1000ft__9.210
1/4_____10.928
1/4mph__131.55

Race weight with me in it was approx 3860 (~3680 car + 180 me)

Th launch was soft due to the track giving away so I knew I had better ETs in me but the tower and tech didn't want me to run anymore . . .:cuss:

This is what's cool about this run:

2004 LS1 GTO (not 6.0 liter)
18 inch DRs (not fats/skinnies)
Full weight car (not stripped interior, ect)
Trailer Hitch (more weight)

I must admit that I did take the floormats out but otherwise I was almost stock weight. . .

Mods for who wants to know: 2004 LS1 M6 GTO

Vortec SQ S-Trim at 9.5lbs, FMS F10 cam (228/228 - .576/.576 @ 112LSA), Pacesetter LTs, SLP P&P TB, Stock 06 exhaust w/ Magnaflow rears. Oh, and floormats removed!

nice times, what have you run on the juice

 

[DaGTO]

congrats!.......again lol

oh and Doc..u need to change your avatar quote to "Local 10 second GTO"

Congrats on the time sir....nice to see the GTO's finally catching up to what Cobra's have been doing for the last 3 years.

 

[03gobluecobra]

those are excellent times, especially for those tires.

Alot of F-body people said that about the 03 Cobra when it was released....

Nice times! Congrats, do you think if you would've gone full out from the get go it might've been a 10.6xxx run?:beer:

I think that after the re-prep I may have squeezed out a high 1.6 60ft on the spray which would have had me in the 10.60s. I need to get my bars installed.

Yeah, and it took about what, 8 months before they changed their minds.

 

[TRXboy]

Ummm...Huh? You said it took the GTO 3 year's to do what the 03 Cobra has been doing. If thats the case it took ford 9 year's of SN-95 production to do what the last generation F-Body was doing - Or so alot of F-body guy's would argue.

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Congrats Doc. That's one fast GTO. We still need to hook up at SGMP. Would be a good race although you have me outpowered. I am on fats and skinnies. I can't afford horsepower so I have to make what I have work for me. Congrats again, that is haulin the ass.

 

[Migdiesel]

Congrats....very nice time :thumbsup:

 

[Geno-04]

Nice work!

oke:
hes saying it took 8 months for a 6spd 03 cobra to break into the 10's after they were released. Much shorter time than the GTO's which came out a few years ago.

Anyway congrats on the times, a 6spd 10 sec anything is pretty fing sweet :rockon:

:bowdown: For having comprehension, unlike some people.

very very nice

way to power it out on the big end! :rockon:

DOC- That's an awesome time/mph...congrats!! What a/f ratio are you running? I see that you're making 9.5#'s of boost...are still running stock internals? I have thought about swapping the pulley on my procharger to push me beyond the 8#'s that I am at now, but that makes me a little nervous since I still have factory internals. Maybe I am asking you to compare apples to oranges (Cobra vs GTO)...does the LS1 hold up better w/ forced induction?

I really dont know if one is better then the other on forced induction. I do know the LS1 bottom ends have held up to 650 rwhp on a good tune.

I run 11.7:1 off the spray and 11.4 on the spray. My car is tuned for 93 octane but If I'm going to the track and will spray I do usually splash in some 100 for safe keeping!

Thanks man. We do need to hook up for sure. I'll PM you.

Hold up better in comparisson to what? An 03/04 Cobra motor? Not a chance in hell with out swaping out the internal's of the LS1. If you are talking about your 99 Cobra, then Both the LS1 and 99-01 Cobra motor can handle (pretty much) the same amount of boost on stock internal's.

hes saying it took 8 months for a 6spd 03 cobra to break into the 10's after they were released. Much shorter time than the GTO's which came out a few years ago.

Thank you, I understood what he said. The fact is he is rubbing it in that it took a GTO to break 10's when his 03 cobra did it in 8 Month's. It only took ford 9 year's of SN-95 development to make it that easy.





Anyway, I can't believe I havent even said congrat's on the time's, Sick car man.
