Yellow 2005 GTO goes down...

[65mph_Roll]

The “new” GTO may become the most controversial car of all time…

You're around 470 HP without a pulley??? I just don't remember seeing one in your mods list.

Which is exactly why I said I'm not the best driver in the world. I also failed to mention it was the middle of July, the temp was over 85 and the humidity was high. But the car was new and I wanted to see what she could do.

That was when my car was BONE stock. I don't have a dyno when I did that run, but I do know following me adding Steeda CAI and Borla Stingers I was just shy of 422 RWHP 430 TQ.

Since then I've gone with all the other mods listed...
Now I'm around 470 RWHP 478 TQ give or take some.

I won't be running at Epping any more now that 11.49's require a roll bar and I've grown to like DR's a lot when I can actually borrow my buddies set.

Best driver or not, anyone can get trap speed. Whether I pulled a 2.0 or a 2.4 60' I could still get 114mph. ET varied by .5 second, but mph was always there. For 108mph, based on the whether conditions you mention, I suspect you should have been around 110-111mph (350-360rwhp) on a better day. I doubt your even close to 470rwhp without a pulley. I'd guess 430-435rwhp with the mods you listed in the first post. I'd work on breaking 11.99 before worrying about 11.49 :coolman:

Um, I was at 422 RWHP with just the CAI and cat-back...

Add in the throttle body & plenum, the X-pipe, the Predator (forgot to mention this one) it's rather easy.

Now that I have access to DR's, 11's are well within my reach.

470rwhp, with no pulley :lol: :lol: you crack me up

 

[SlowSVT]

Did you actually think the outcome would have been any diffrent? After all that GTO was "yella" even before it came off the assembly line.

 

[foofinator]

Sorry man, those numbers are off unless you got the fastest Cobra ever.

I think his numbers are overstated. Put it on a dyno to get the real numbers. I put down 431 hp, 441tq with a 2.8 upper, Predator tune, HAI, and ported throttlebody. Complete stock exhaust. I know I could pick up 30-40 at the wheels, but I like the fact its quiet. :rockon:

2 more weeks and I will have a nice graph to post.

Well if this rain ever ends that ends.
