I saw the post and I said... damn Shrp1 is probably all over this one LOL. It is hard to beat a big V6 w/ a gigantic turbo...

BUT...

I think the TTA could be taken if the guy in the TTA doesn't spool up the turbo properly. I recently got to drive a GN and it didn't do much off the line (owner/seller didn't want us to brake stand)... but once the turbo kicked in I fell in love Gotta love that whistle!

Judging by the GN... after about 20 MPH it should be game over no matter what.

On AVERAGE Low 13's stock, but most with a chip and a little more boost will run 12's.
add tires and some will make 11's the rest will be LOW 12's

Looks a lot bigger in the GN because of the cover over the turbo... Anyhow it had a little turbo lag, but it still kicked ***.

been there raced them

Had the TTA all back to stock except for K&N, for smog purposes of course. Raced a LT1 TA from a 55 mph roll on the highway, he got the jump and by the time I knew we were racing he had a car + on me before I nailed it. Cought him and put quite a few cars on him by 100-110 mark
