So my friend and I were on our way home with my new iroc. The car is stock motor wise besides k&n's but has a built th350 mild stall and some gears. We were cruzin down the interstate side by side checking how accurate my speedo is (about 5mph to fast) then we gave eash other that look and took off. We started about 65 and went till about 105 or so. we stayed pretty even for a few hundred feet and then i started to pull and just kept pullin on him. By the way his gtp has a 3.4 pulley, computer, intake and exhaust.

I was pretty impressed I expected to get my but whooped.

And yes I know street racing is really stupid and its not something i usually practice.

 

Nice, I have played with a few GTPs. They are a lot quicker than you would expect. Nice kill none the less man!

 

Don't you mean it has a3.8? that's cool btw way I haven't raced one yet I always wondered where we stand against them

 

My friend used to have one. His spun the tires like no tomorrow. But they are quick, gotta watch out for them.

 

No, the 3.4 means a smaller supercharger pulley.

I'm actually surprised you pulled on him up top. I'd be happy with that result, good kill.

 

You are correct about the pulley, I was suprised too I had a gtp in the past with the same mods and even have a stock 4 door now as dd and they felt faster up top.

Thanks guys

 

Lol I read it wrong... my bad I just re-read it and laughed at myself.... thanks for correcting me...

 

Ran one of those cars with some unknown mods in my bolt on L98...still had stock TPI tho and we were even for a good 1/8 mile - 1000 ft with me creeping on him but I could not get past him by the time I hit my turn off. They are quick cars with bolt ons
Good kill

 

Nice kill man.
I've been waiting for my day to line up with a GTP, but the ones I come across never want anything to do with me it seems. That's probably a good move on their part anyway.

 

I assume you have an L98? In a numbers game I would think the gtp would eat you whether you had a l98 or not.

I used to own a 00' gtp, basically stock, minor exhaust work ,stock mufflers and CAI, chipped with a smaller pulley at around 14lbs of boost. I put down 252hp at the wheels and 281ftlbs. I brought it to the track one time only and picked up a 13.52 run. It was quick especially up top with very little work. Stock they are 240hp at the crank and respond very very well to bolt-ons. Also a couple of hundred lbs less than the camaro.

I am glad you beat him I am just very very surprised. Right now I'm not even sure my Iroc would stand against my GTP.

 

I ran one over the summer with my current setup. I was walking away but not anywhere near what i thought i would be. Pretty quick cars when setup right.

 

i ran one we went from 20-115 dead even the whole time.. i was impressed..

 

gtp are not only fast but good looking as well...i rented one once and enjoyed it for wat i paid

 

What is the weight on the GTPS?A few years back a guy I worked with drove his moms to work some and kept bragging about it.He wanted to run so we did and it was quick for a sedan but i repeatedly raped him.He couldnt believe it.It was stock and hes not the best driver but neither am/was I.I figured they were pretty heavy.Good kill for stock iroc.

 

I think the th350 and gears in the rear end mad the diff in my car.

From my past experence the numbers are about right my 2 door with intake, computer, exhaust, and 3.4 pulley ran in the mid to low 9's in the 1/8th, which is were the prevous owner said the iroc as well.

 

Huh? Its your GTP? I thought it was your buddys. Also it has a computer? like a chipped ecu, programmable, flashed computer? In any way it should be calibrated for more boost. Stock the GTP runs mid 9's in the 8th and mid 14 quarter. With those upgrades the car should be running faster I would assume.

Also you never mentioned if you had an L98 or not?

I would tell a buyer that my car had run a high 12 quarter if it meant making the sale or making a buyer happy. So I would never go by what a previous owner said IMO. It just so happens that an l98 iroc is capable of a low 14 sec run with the right tires.

I was running an aftermarket 3.25'' pulley and producing the numbers I posted before. A 3.4 should give you at least 30-50 more hp with supporting mods. which is at least 240-250 at the wheels. Which would be high 13's. You or your buddy's GTP should technically be faster but in the real world there are allot of variables. None the less that is a good kill.

 

No the GTP is my buddies but I used to have one with the same mods.
As for the camaro i don't know the engine names but its a 350TPI if that helps.

 

Im so confused right now.

 

what are you confused about?

 

im still cant tell who owns the gtp and who owns the iroc, is this a big trick your pulling on me haha?

 

Im not to suprised at the outcome. GTP's tend to shine from a dig compared to a 65-70 roll. With a good 3.4 pulley setup like headers, intake, PCM, 180 t-stat, etc (What im doing that this winter ) Its not uncommon to see times anywhere from 13.5-13.9 in the 1/4 out of a GTP with those mods. Anyhow nice kill man

 

lol... no tricks I own the IROC and my buddy owns the GTP all i was saying is that I used to owed a GTP with the same setup he has.
