So of course we had to run them  Results, repeatedly, was me ahead by about 2 car @ 110 or so. Did not matter if it was from a stop or roll, M3 would do well to about 60 or so and then the 335 would take over with its longer legs.
Now on to the more controversial race. I read bits and pieces of the LS2 GTO thread and frankly didn't believe that a very lightly modded 335 could take down the GTO, but apparently I was wrong. Sunday I was out to get some food and came across an LS2 6 speed GTO with an AEM intake. We raced from a roll 3 different times, various speeds ranging 20-40 mph. GTO guy knew what he was doing, his 1-2 and 2-3 shifts barked the tires hard. Cars were fairly even up to about 90 where I'd have consistently 1/2 of a car. From 90-110 I would pull out another full car to end up 1.5 cars ahead. This occured all 3 times we ran. Surprising for me and for him.
And for those who are wondering, no, my car is ever so slightly not stock |
Definitaly not the outcome I was expecting in the higher speeds.....as soon as the GTO goes into 4th gear I would expect it to pull ahead. Anything can happen on the street though, good kill!!
Edit: just noticed you're not even Procede'd.....sorry man, but you beat a sub par driver, not the car.
