Default Took the GTO out for the first time last night

Ran a best of 13.57 @ 105 with a 2.21 60'. Not too disappointed. First time out trying to launch a manual trans car....much more difficult than the truck.

All that aside though, it wasn't much fun racing the car after being used to my truck, lol. I don't think I'll be taking it back out again any time soon. Fast trucks are a lot more fun

^ ah haaaa. lol. Cool, wish I had a goat, must be nice! Mid 13's is pretty consistant with what i've seen them run at the track, you must be practiced with a stick

pretty decent for the first time out.... i bet trapping 105mph feels slow to your 119mph in your truck!!! I raced one on the street once, that same night he had hit a best of 13.0 at the track, and I was running consistant 12.5, but he would whoop my *** on the street!! my aerodynamics and 4.10's suck on the street!!

It was worth doing once to see what I could do. Like I said, I wasn't disappointed with the times, but it wasn't very exciting either. I was just another guy out there with another stock GTO running mid 13's. I like bringing the truck because it surprises people and gets them excited
