I had a short quick 40 - 80mph run with a 5.7 AT GTO last night at around 11:30pm and thought I would post up.

I was the first person at the light merging onto the on-ramp, he was riding my ass all the way up until we started merging on the freeway and even hit a few highbeams on me.

Feeling provoked, I left it in 2nd with VSA off and I took off right as we started merging. I believe 5.7 AT GTOs are low 14 second cars at around 99 - 101mph? Either way, I caught him off guard and I was pulling all the way until I shut down at 80 - 85mph.

I thought it was pretty ironic, but he did a ricer flyby and I just merged into the slower lanes and let him pass. From what I could see, the GTO looked completely stock with aftermarket wheels and red decal overlays on the GTO symbol.

I felt pretty proud of my car .. He must have felt a bit of an idiot losing to a door dinged, 130,000 mile Accord with a couple fart cans on the back.

Nice run Tyler. Car seems to be running strong. I'm sure he was surprised!! What about those PCDs? or HFCs?

 

heheh awesome!!

 

nice kill. (filling in for Princely Bug) lol

 

Thanks guys!

Sonnick, I am parting out my car slowly but surely. I am using the money for repairs and reconditioning my car .. who knows I may be in a new ride by the end of this year . Until then, I'm having fun with it! I cannot believe how strong it pulls for having minor bolt ons and 130,000 mi.

I saw your new dyno results and I was jelly, I think you should look into some minor weight reduction to squeeze every lit bit out of 256whp. Definitely cheaper than runners / building up your motor!
