I think the only way you'd have trouble with the S2K is in the twisties. GTO, this is only a guess, but I would think you could take them off the line, however in the top end I would imagine they would take hold. However if its an excellent driver I would think that he would take you. Thats a big HP difference, though their torque just isn't there. Again only a guess. I drove a yellow one it was the service manager at Hurd Chevy's car, and honestly didnt like it at all, I wasn't impressed. I liked its v8 growl though. The good things about detailing @ Hurd here in RI, you get to drive everything from Z06's to Hummers, to GTOs, and thensome.

 

Okay, I raced by buddies 04 GTO. 1st light, he got me off the jump. I spun off the line, but started closing on him. It ended before I could catch him though, so he got me that time. The next light, I launched pretty well and it was a dead heat. 3rd light, I launched perfect, he had some wheel spin, he couldn't close on me, so that one goes to me. So, I guess you could call it a dead heat. We were each 1-1-1. GTO's are no slouches, they are pretty quick. I love the interior of that car, and the rumble from the exhaust is like music to my ears.

bigddy9 what have you done to your car?

 

From the numbers I've seen from the same magazine, both the SRT-4 and GTO are the same with 0-60 MPH in 5.3 sec. and the 1/4 mile at 13.9 sec. @ 103 MPH.

 

Thats sad for the GTO....but good for us!!!

 

Nothing really. Just a BOV. His GTO is stock too. I do have a Bush\Cheney 04 sticker though. That's gotta be worth at least 40 HP.

only 25 hp and a key mark in california.... stupid blue state...

 

I got a Bush cheney sticker too

 

No political stickers on my car [:'(] I could use the extra HP but deal without the keymark. RI is the most liberal state EVER

 

I have not seen the numbers for the 05 GTO, but it's got 50 more hp than that 04. So watch out for hood scoops.
