There was a 06 gto* next to me, as we were cruising down a backroad, between 50 and 60mph. the gto downshifted to 4th gear and floored it and I punched it half throttle in 3rd gear and i crawled away pretty quick. not bad at all eh?



*driver of said 06 gto will not be mentioned in this thread.

 

GTO! damn good for nothing land yatch's

 

is that motor already broken in travis? and give me about a year and i will run you with my little 5.7 04 land yacht i have some stuff iam getting ready for

 

Are you serious???

 

Damnit Will,you're supposed to be fast now,what the hellIf you would have gone to 3rd you'de have done better.This was against the iroc right?

 

~cough~

Will!

~cough~

Sorry about this bad cold.

 

Travis, kiss my as*. I am still getting used to my car. We all know if I had down shifted into 2nd like I should have I would have left you. Stupid bish, I should have known you were going to post and talk sh*t about that. It's all good, when I learn how do drive my car better we can go at it again. Bring it BISH!!!

Steve, ya this was against the iroc. Oh, he did not pull away quick either.

 

by the time you get the shifting down, he'll be able to go wot and then the same thing will happen.

 

actually, it will be worse. no contest.

 

r1maniac is waiting for you......... Time to take down another GTO!

 

from the way i can drive it, even just a little over half throttle for a short burst, it really picks up. i believe its gonna be well over 400hp for sure, and in a car 700lbs lighter, im not sweating it.

sometimes the lsX needs its old pop to show them what a real motor is.

 

700lbs...Get outta here. No joke? I Didnt think they were that much heavier.

 

GTO's are about 3900-4000lbs

 

I thought third gens were about 3600. Thats not 700lb difference.

 

true. A stripped down(no options) Iroc is about 3300lbs. in traviZ's case he has no smog, no AC/heat, no cat, aluminum heads, no back seat, and I think the stealth ram may be lighter than the stock TPI setup. I don't think it will be 700lbs, but it could be. I say its 500lbs lighter easy

 

That sounds about right, but who knows......

 

thats not correct my car weighs 3760 without me in it!!

 

holy crap. my TA weighed 3750 WITH me in it what a pig.

I need to weigh the V6 maro to see where she's at.

 

yeah but the go is very easy to lighten up the seats front and rear weigh a ton full power on both sides and the front suspension is way over built because its made for crappy australlian roads. i can get that car dowm to 3700 with me in it just buy changing the seats in the front to lighweigh racing seats and deleting the rear seats all together. and then there are parts you can buy like the kid plate the factory skid weighs 12lbs you can buy a bmr one that weigh 5lbs anything can help. its not that hard to lighten these cars they just come piggish from the factory. for all the non believers just give me some time i finally have a good platform to start with and the power will come with time.

 

bring it on!

 

come on travis iam not trying to compete iam just stating that GTOs arent as heavy as everyone thinks and they are verry good platforms for performance mods. it will be along time befor i can get my car as quick as yours anyway i have to pay it off first.

 

why do you think im hiding under the chair? lol

 

yeah i got ya... lol i will just have to get my zex 125 shot so i can keep up with ya...

 

Right on Kyle, you and me will take him and the rest of the thirdgens down, lol. Just give us a few years, lol. Don't worry Travis, I have plans for this car, as soon as I get bored with it the mods are on the way, believe me. Like Kyle said, these lsx's have so much potential it's crazy, and the aftermarket mods are only going to come even more as time goes on. I already have plans for headers and exhaust, and it's just the beginning. Either way I have much love and respect for you and your car, nothing will ever take away from that good old school 383 stroker, and damn does that sound and cam loop give me a hard on, lol.

Friendly competiton keeps things always moving forward, and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

you guys(Kyle & Will) need some twin T-70's http://speedinjection.org/video14.html

 

Count me in also will and kyle. I have couple things that im gonna do with my ws-6. it has something to do with nx, afr, and comp cams im not saying anything else

 

i wish!!!!!! yeah come on will here is a budget twin turbo kit from australlia 5000 shipped to your door i wish i could afford it..

bring it on bishes ill smoke you all

well guess not all my cars are sold or not running oh well i will with my next turdgen lol

 

 

 

It's all good, give me some time and I will be able to smoke all of you again, even after all your mods. Remember, goats eat everything, and always will.

 

good, you can eat my tail lights because when my Iroc is back on the road thats all you'll see

 

Ouch.

 

again? was there a first time i missed? haha.
i for one am looking forward to a race.
if i lose to that sweet 400/400 GTO, i won't feel too bad.

 

goats can eat my smoke!

 

Why,ya gunna blow up another motor?

 

no, tire smoke.

 

It was supposed to be a joke,guess it wasn't funny

 

 

Is this thing on (taps on mic)

 

Nothing to brag about, but I spanked a Hyundia(sp) Tiburon who was eggin me on up the Cuesta(SLO) Grade the other night. He kept up at about 80mph and began to dissapper at about 100 mph.

 

Daniel - Daniel - Daniel.....

 

I test drove a Hyundai Tiburon and made that piece of **** do clutch dumps until the guy got mad and told me to stop. True story.

 

I know, I could have won a pair of matching bracelets for that. Don't think Jess would've bailed me out the 1st night just to make a point.

 

Del, no I was not smoked a second time. Nor was there even a first time. Travis just likes to think there was, but really not a true race, for one I can't shift very well just yet, and I didn't even down shift into 2nd. We were on the freeway and I stayed in 4th, lol. I am still getting used to having to down shift instead of just flooring it and letting the car do it for me.

 

whats the problem will, skured?

oh ya, my car is acting up now.
