Default Had Fun in the GTO last night...

There's a pretty heavily modded SRT-4(skittle) in town. Has bigger cams, ported and polished head, bolt-ons, block off plate, and runs 19psi of boost. He wanted to run my 04 gto(apparently the slow model to some).

Run one:
Dig.
I knee-jerk at 3000rpms and leave the hole with no spinnage. Slam 2nd and the rear end kicks out a little. By this time I have probably 2-3 cars on him. Shut down at 110 with 10-15 cars.

Run two:
I let him switch drivers LOL.
Dig.
I knee-jerk at a little over 3000rpms and spin a little through first, although I'm already leaving him behind. Slam 2nd and spin some, while still pulling away, 3rd and 4th gear ensue, and I have probably 25 cars on him at 130. LOL.

Now, I went into this deal thinking he was going to wax the road with my butt. I was VERY suprised. AFter the first race, he said for me to turn off the traction control(that's how good I launched), and when I replied that it was off, my friend yelled out "I TOLD YOU THAT HE COULD LAUNCH." At that point they switched drivers to a "better one" and handed them their butt again. There's the proof that the short times win races.

Hmm, I've seen plenty of modded SRT-4s hang right with stockish LS1 camaros...

Modded srt 4s are quick when modded right, but aren't very good for dig races from what I've seen around my area; Nice kill op.

They need a driver mod.

I've only seen video's of them but I've never seen one fast from a dig. But amazing from a roll

Yeah, we went from a 20 roll, and he pulled about 2 cars on me in 1st, 2nd I started reeling him in at the top, and 3rd gear I was at his rear door, and he let off.

X3 on GTO mods.
Lucky for him u have the slow model. I hope u told him using the slow model, he was . I guess u didn't need the "better" driver mod.
I'da thought it be a bit closer. Props on the kill, make that destruction.
He prolly wanted to go from a roll since that allowed him to save face a bit.

i am not saying that your a liar but i had an 06GTO with full exhaust, intake, thermo, tune, on slick with bogarts, drag bags, and on a 150 shot when i lived in so cal. i raced my buddy srt-4 that has cams, different wastegate, running 21 lbs of boost, big front mount, cutout, downpipe, tune, walboro, intercooler sprayer, intake, on drag radials and unless i used spray, he would beat me every time. i would out launch him but hed still reel me in up top (unless i used spray). when i used spray, i would beat him by 8-9 cars every time. so i want to know what you have done to your goat. this srt's driver(s) must really suck *** if they cant reel u in up top (unless your using spray). ANYWAYS, good kill, i loved makin the turbo 4 bangers cry...
